This Skillz Day was really excellent. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to take a day and just work on riding. We worked on throttle control, smooth braking, getting loose on the bike (shifting your weight and body position) picking lines, working on turns, etc. Most of the people there were repeat attenders, so it just goes to show, practice practice...in a controlled environment, all you have to think about is your technique, keep developing the good habits, so when you're on the street, it's second nature.
BIG thanks to Nick for helping me on my lines!

dude, I give you another month on that bike and you'll be smooth as glass.  Just practice what Jeff was talking about with being smooth on the throttle.  You've changed to a whole new beast, and the throttle control is going to be the biggest issue with what you're on now.


but shortly after you left, we left too, I think you only missed like 30 more minutes of riding, and the slow race.

You guys know when the next one is going to be?  I've got Sundays off now so I want to bring up the Duc and thrash it a bit.

TI-You didn't get banned, you want to meet for an Idyllwild or Death Valley ride sometime with some other LA GS'ers?

you're crazy, I did get banned, for like 2 or 3 weeks.


Sure..... Idyllwild sounds good......  Maybe we could link up with some people from Hypercycles or SCSB

Heh, shows how often I'm here...


I could try to get some ducati.ms guys together as well...



After the 25th I am completely open until Feb. 4th or something.  Long-ass winter session, and I don't need the credits so I'm using it for a break.  We can definitely get something going, even if it is lows in the upper 30s.  This weather is bullshit!
