| | | Up into the clouds, into the rain, and snow. Cold, muddy, wet, single track. Probably logged 50 miles on that trail, 50 miles of awesome.

| | | Posted by cdevon1200 st. louis to denver frisco to la to dallas to stl again. about 35 days. kept me from killin my (brandy-new)ex wife. i didnt have a speedo so i dont know the miles. only about 15 hotel rooms were slept in. Thanks VISA!!!!!
| Wow! amazing journey, it makes me think of that Bob Seeger song "Roll Me Away" I've been on long trips, but not one that had a change of seasons!!! 2X, that hill goes up 2000' or more in elevation from that spot, 10 or 12 miles up. And then you get to go down the back side. My buddy went blastin' past me, thinkin' I was bein a puss, it was a 1/4 mile or so before he could get stopped. The bowling ball size rocks would roll as the tires went over them, you'd have to unlock the brakes over each one to regain control. Down was the only direction on that particular trail.......at least for me.

| | | I tell everybody that will listen, get a dirtbike, go out learn it's and your limits. A dirtbike is out of control 80% of the time, this will get you used to that feeling of not being in control. And when your 600lb streetbike goes sideways in a corner, the feeling won't be brand new to you. Gravity, adhesion, momentum, front end washout, highsiding, traction, pain. All lessons best learned on a 250lb machine.

| | | My son plays Hockey, hates motorcycles. We were watching a Supercross race, as we're watching, he says that doesn't look hard, the bike does all the work. I reminded him that hockey players play in 2 minute shifts, and that these motocross boys are goin' for 20 minutes at full tilt. I saw a light go on in his eyes, I'm sure he got it at that point.

| I don't do much sanctioned drag racing, but I commute a 900cc speed triple 40 miles each way to work. I go down PCH from L.A. Harbor, to Newport Beach. Needless to say I squeeze thru traffic, and of course once in a while I get to the front and I'll have a supercharged Jaguar, and an Aston Martin Vantage on either side of me. The old dudes drivin' these do not like to lose lane position. And traffic fines don't bother them at all. I'll normally just short shift and let them hear I'm not tryin' too hard, this usually pisses them off. One day this black rice rocket squirts past me, I let him go, but a 1/4 mile ahead I see he gets stopped by a light. So I figure I'll get to him just as the light changes. I'm in first gear at 20mph right as I get to him, the light changes. I pull the pin up, scream into 2nd gear hit the rev limiter, bang 3rd gear, I look down, speedo says 110 mph. He passes me like I'm in reverse. I get to the next light, He smiles over at me, and says It's pretty quick huh? I cheated, and got my ass handed to me. I learned not to mess with a Hyabusa.
