Title: Gotta Brag!
Post by: banditoverde on July 18, 2005, 03:56:45 AM

Played on the Mulholland Hwy. twisties today and learned 2 things.

#1 The cops ain't playing.  Lots of cops out to stop those evil canyon carvers & everyone who gets stopped is getting an invitation to court :duh:   I didn't get stopped but every cop I saw was busy writing.  I'm staying on either Angeles Crest or Ortega till the heat goes down.

#2 Bandits with sticky tires can lean!  I came into a tight down hill left with a bit too much juice on and it was either look at where I wanted to be and ride there or meet the hillside.  Scared myself silly but I did it!!  Thank you gods of countersteering!!! Scuffed off a good bit of toe slider and reshaped the bottom of my peg (not stock, got skinny little pegs from competition works).  Now I gotta just get the nerve up to do it again :wink:

 :grin:  :grin:  :grin:  :grin: !What a rush! :grin:  :grin:  :grin:  :grin:

Nice job... I have learned "getting up the nerve to do it again" is a really big hill. We have all been tought; today's bikes will out perform most riders but knowing what you can do is hard to find.

Glad you managed to pull it off - and get no performance awards.  :bigok:
