    I would agree with you, but here in FL, the roads run straight from coast to coast and straight from the Georgia boarder to Key West. Curves are very few and far between.
    What the deuce!?!

      Just be safe and keep it up!!! Knee dragging is always alot more fun than dragging plastics!! Eventually, I'll get back down there!!

            Nah, I didn't charge Jason... I just felt bad for the boy... But if he's wise, he'll buy me a burger or something

            Provide a place to crash a couple for a nighit and I might be there in 2 weeks...

            I'm trying to figure out where to take the GF for spring break -- she needs to get the *$$% out of dodge to clear her mind of the school load and unwind, but didn't know that she would actually be able to take time off until just a couple days ago (leaving me scraping to come up with last minute plans -- all the deals I had for the caribbean already passed their mandatory pay-by date -- Grrr!). The best I've come up with so far is basically a road-trip: rental car and go see New Orleans (what's left), maybe make it as far as San Antonio or divert north and see St. Louis.

              Glad to see you are not giving up on the bike. It IS capable of more than most realize!

              Looks like you need to move those pucks up a bit though. Don't hesitate to cut off the upper velcro section and move them up for more contact.

              Just remember this.... When you knee is on the ground then the bike is close also. I had a firm reminder of this one today when my centerstand touched down at the same time and my right side puck. Made the tail end a bit squirely! This happened on my Aprilia.

                If you ever think about traveling north, you are more than welcome to crash in my place. But, I have to warn you, I will be trying to pick up your brain....

                  CP, you and your girl are welcome to come and crash at our cabin. http://www.katriders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16524 Looks like there's gonna be an extra bedroom available. Maybe between you and I we can teach my buddy to corner his Zuki Maurader.
                  Hey, hold my beer and watch this!

                    I really appreciate it, and the cabin looks awesome, but her spring break is March 11th thru 19th... So I'm like a BIKE WEEK away from from getting her out of town.

                    Cheers

                          Congrats Jason. It sounds like you've adjusted your attitude towards riding a bit. Good to hear that you're getting (and listening to) some solid advice from someone who's been riding almost as long as you've been alive (didn't mean to make you feel old there Cyber ). Best of luck to ya.

                          I got the same reminder at the gap. Only it was my pipe that hit .

                              Good lord, it's limbo time! Seriously though, good job; I don't know if I'll ever be comfortable enough to go Bayliss style around a corner like that.
