monday's photos are up.

That's so awesome.  

From my beginner point of view, I don't know how I'd ever go from riding the way I do, to THAT.

I'll second that. Been riding full time for about 8 months now and I would love to be able to learn that kind of riding.

november 2002 was the first time I ever threw a leg over a motorcycle, and it was a gs500. You guys are on the right track. read up-Sport Riding Techniques by Nich Iensatch is a good start. Ride canyons. Ask questions of experienced good riders. do a track day or three. practice x3.

trackday novice school.  will teach you the fundamentals.

Pablo is one bad-ass MF!

Pablo is right, read up on proper technique, do a trackschool, do trackdays, kneedowns wont even be a question... and to those with the GS, make sure you hang off the seat enough to drag the knee, or else you'll get the pipe, and that makes for a wobbly turn if you can save it. On the left side if the suspension compresses too much you'll probably hit the stand, so its better to hang off a bit more to feel out your lean angle.

could not agree more.  track days are awesome.   i will be back on a track in the spring ater i recover from a recent crash on a track.  i was going to mid-ohio but a crash changed that plan.  

BTW tracks are the best place to crash a bike.  no joke you have paramedics there within 1-2 minutes and run-off so you do not hit anything.  i hi-sided at 110 and i am here to talk about it.  BTW this pic is 1 session before my crash.

you guys make me green with envy....next year you guys better watch out. the b#$ch will be out dragging her knee.

the CD with the HiRes files arrived...

hang off more.  back should be inline w/ the bike.  looks like you're twisted or "crossed" up.  helps keep the meat of the tire in the center and increase ground clearance.

TLR's are a Buddha Loves You to go around corners and spin up easy.



(yes it's a TLR notice the exhaust pipe on the left side)

Nice choice in leathers....
