You big pussies...you have a newly paved road like that with corners you can look through...yet you "walk it" through the corners:rolleyes. But as soon as you have a straight you open it up.:nono

Get a bike you can handle next time:hammer

Like I said jackass, it was my first time on this road. Do you drag your knees and take corners as fast as you can in unfamiliar territory? If you do you're dumb. Go back to the track, I'll post up a video of the tight sections of this road later.

You mean quality? If so yeah it was recorded in dvd format, had to convert it to wmv and then use movie maker to edit the clip, then after i upload it the site it's converted to something else. A bit of quality is lost, but not enough that it's not fun to watch.

thats pretty funny man. happened to me not long ago. 2 of those fckers on the side of the road waited til i was almost right next to them, one flies away from the road and one right towards me at my heads height. I guess at the very last second it decided to try to dodge me, then i felt like i kikd something really hard. It dodged me and hit my boot. I checked my boot thinkin HOLY crap and saw it covered in feathers. Bird was fine cuz when I came back down the road it was gone.

Pfffft.... wait till you have a 15lb wild turkey fly by your head, then come back and talk to me :)

I've had a robin once hit me in the head that hurt like hell but that poor fucker did not make it.

It makes me feel weird when people sit up straight on turns. Try getting a little weight distributed off the bike in the turns. You'll find it's more balanced.

It will help lower your center of gravity.

Thanks for the constructive criticism. Watching the videos we've shot these last two weekends helped me see that. On roads I'm real familiar with and know what's coming I get off the bike more in the corners, but again this was a new road, so being cautious and not putting all my weight one way to have something unexpected the other was a good thing I thought. Here's a little more of that road
