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
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
!What a rush!

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.
