Third trip to the dragon

[nelson8708]

Third trip to the dragon and the second trip on the kat. I had four goals to meet on the trip:

1. No one goes down
2. No one has bike problems
3. No tickets
4. I drag knee

All four goal were accomplished.

looks awesome. wish i had ro-ads like that!!! How fast where you going around those curves?

[nelson8708]

really depends on which turn but, i would say around 25-40 mph. I go into the turns at a safe speed (dont want to brake mid turn) and increase speed once i get the lean angle i want. Went in a little hot on a few of them and braking mid turn unsettles the bike a little bit but, its when you release the brake (weight transfer) that the bike want to move around.
