taken by one of the guys I ride with...my local canyons (I think this is part of Latigo canyon)

Unfortunately I missed this ride so that kneedragger in video is not me... :mrgreen:

btw-it was about 45* saturday when this was taken-this is about as bad as it gets here in SoCal for winter...except a little rain.

what's up with the 2nd rider's legs at :42 seconds? just before the clip cuts, you see his legs fly out like airbrakes...  :dunno:

that's the local (maybe not so local?) signal for debris on the road...like you're pointing to it with your foot to keep your hands on the bars.

Quote from: cozyThat is cool! What bikes were on the road there?

the bike you are immediately behind is a Honda Superhawk (and quite a nice one at that!) and the rider in front of him is on a Bandit 1200 most likely, not sure. the cameraman was also on a Bandit 1200.

There's a group of 6-12 riders from the Bandit forum that live nearby (within 1.5 hrs) and meet regularly (almost weekly) for rides in various parts of SoCal. I like riding with them because there is much to learn from them; they're fast as sh*t. There's a guy, Glenn, who rides a Honda Nighthawk 700S and NO ONE can keep up with him!  I just saw pictures of his bike where he's scraped (regularly) most parts on the lower half of his bike...including the exhaust heat shield, centerstand, seriously ground down pegs, exhaust, etc. It's scary, really, how fast he is. Lots of these guys go through kneepucks regularly.

Last GStwin SoCal ride ended up being in conjunction with one of their rides since we happened to meet at same place roughly same time..so JohNLA, C.J./Debi, and AdamR rode with some of them before...
