Airbrush is sweet!!!

thanks!

It's a jardine, on it when i bought it. Ppl say they're overly loud, but I like it. being heard is a good thing IMO, cause they sure as hell don't see you.

[buellxb12scgjc]

same here. back to the question at hand!

 

[droolmonkey]

i lold! ...been out riding and i still cant seem to get back into it. ...every time i see a turn, i twist off and play it safe. ..like real safe....like speed limit safe.

my chicken strips are about an inch wide on each side!!! even when i forst got on a bike, i had no problems leaning it in. ...this really frekaed me out!



...i hope you guys get out and ride soon those bikes are way to nice to be sitting there having pics taken of them!

sorry bout that crash man. just give it time and relax, dude, if i'm tense(and i'm sure you are after this) i find myself fightin my bike all the way through turns.just have to breath a little and learn to enjoy the ride again. you'll get there!

Watch some, err, "inspirational" videos to get you pumped up. Perhaps a couple youtube vids of ghostrider evading police or some motoGP helmet cam laps

take your time, the feeling will come back. I wrecked in a turn when I was 17 (and had my first bike for like a week) I took a break from riding for a while as it took 2 or 3 months to repair making minimum wage and making payments on the bike at the same time.When I started riding again, I was very cautious in turns for a few months. Just had to build that confidence back up. I am still very careful in some turns, but am getting a lot better as time goes on. Track riding helped me out the most.

seriously what about an advanced rider class on turns? totalridertech.com Lee Parks designed this class and it makes you feel 100% more comfortable in turns. I took it a few years ago and every year I do a refresher. I know track riding helps also, but you really have to feel confident in the turns. This class combines race style and street riding for maximum lean and safety in turns, it is excellent and they have classes all over the US.
And you figure so many motorcycle accidents happen in turns....I had a crash this year, but a lady pulled out in front of me...and when I got back out on the road I had a total distrust towards people pulling out from side roads. I've gotten more confident but its been tough!
