Probably not, but I'll see you at the store for some sandwiches when you roll in (j/k). 3507 miles in 101 days of ownership. Been to the dragon ~10 times this year. Ridden it a total of ~20 times. So... 20 x 318 (curves) x 2 (from the overlook to the store and back) = 12,720 curves.
I'm doing decent on most of the curves but i'm still having problems with the extreme switchbacks. I still turn my wheel in instead of countersteering. I know I get low bc my chicken strip is only about a 1/4 inch, and my knee is just barely off the ground with my shoulder thrown into it. I guess i'm still scared of those turns. I'd like to have someone take some pictures in those turns so I can see what I'm doing wrong.
Otherwise... Last time I went I was winding out 2nd and using the low part of 3rd. This time up I was in the mid and high 3rd gear. So from about 25mph around corners to about 35mph around corners. I'm still only doing about 20 in those severe switchbacks.
