Went on a group ride yesterday expecting a small and fairly noob friendly ride, while not so small, it did teach me some things, I suck in the twisties, lol I slow down way too much and too damn scared to roll on throttle, did manage the courage to lean on a hairpin yesterday and almost lost the rear... at least that stock IRC has barely a chicken strip on the right side... sadly the camera had died by the time that happened. Need to get some new rubber on this winter! bMmFqjbW0eg

i shoulda saved my footy and also did a time lapse thing. didnt think about it nor do i no how to do it but it would have been interesting seeing yours mine and gregs perspectives on the ride. and sorry i didnt stay with you guys, i am a little more spirited for the twisties and wanted a more faster paced group. and on the way back the 2 other guys kinda brought out the squid in me, hit top speed of 109
