So many from last year's ride to L.A and Vegas, but the absolute best had to be about 60 miles East of Santa Margarita on State Hwy 58. We'd been having the most incredible twisties, when we rose up over a creat and the road straightened out. It was the middle of f***ing nowhere, so we twisted the throttles on our VFR's to the stops. In the distance I could see a few ripples, and remembered from my previous trip that there were three little hills in a sequence. So I attacked them at about 260km/h. They were perfectly spaced, so that I flew from the first one to the crest of the second, then the bike was at full compression at the bottom of the second one so when I came off the top of the third....I WAS FLYING!!! It seemed to last forever because I was shitting myself, but the sensation of being weightless on a bike was unexplainable. Because of the hill placement, the landing was smooth. I was going to go back and do it again, but something stopped me. Probably a good thing too. I could never repeat that. My buddy freaked at the first hill and slammed into the troughs hard.

Of course you never forget the first time you get your knee down.

Rolling into a strange town looking for gas and checking out your dusty leathers in the store windows. Getting looks from girls who will never go further than the local Wal-Mart and wishing they knew you, or someone like you. Catching the eye of a nagged husband behind the wheel of his Dodge Caravan. He sees himself in the reflection of your iridium visor and wishes it could have been different.

God I love riding.!!!!! Summer 2002 will be the time of my life!

That must of been insane, your lucky you went off them straight cause one missalignment and you would have bailed hard:eek

We'd been riding at the limit for five days by then, so we were a little overconfident. We did, however, have great feel for our bike, and were doing things, I wouldn't do right now. But don't think for a moment that I didn't think about the unthinkable, it was just a calculated risk. Well worth it too.

Whats the big deal with needles ? They dont even hurt and its over in a blink of an eye. This cop looked pissed when he came over so I new the fine was gonna be big. And I deserved it but did not feel like shelling out 400 bucks for accesive speeding. Some people have a fear of needles and I can see that. Plus I have had that type of alergic reaction before and I new what they would give me and what the effects would be.

I'd take a needle to avoid a $400 ticket, but the bonus is watching Officer Friendly eat crow. Not to mention the nurse:eek
