You can edit your thread titles yourself, on the main forum screen where you see the titles of all the threads, just double-click on the white space next to your thread's title and it will let you edit it.

I just changed this one for you as requested, though. Definitely check out the member map --> http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=11545

and add yourself up there as well.

Hey!

I'm in the LA area during the week and at home on the weekends. So if you're hanging out in Palm Springs on a weekend, we could probably do a ride or something.

kkim · January 12th, 2009, 08:39 PM

you guys really need to remember to stick yourselves on the member map if you have not done so.

I count seven members from the entire state of California presently on the map... that can't be right.

Actually, I'm quite jealous that there are so many of you there to go riding together, I just feel it a shame they don't identify themselves and their location.

Damn! Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. I was up there again on the 18th, but we went through ACH at 8 and didn't make it to GMR until noonish.

I can't get enough of that road! I got a little low in one turn and drug a peg and knicked my toe gaurd

No prob dude! Maybe next time. We left around noonish too. Anyways, I know what you mean by dragging peg and toe guard. My same exact reaction too

I havent been on a canyon yet...but I cant wait till I grow the bawls to try it. I love going on canyon runs in my car, so it should be a blast on the ninja!

Canyons are the best. That's the only place I take my bike. First time I went I was going sooo slowww. Always ride within your limits and don't cross the double yellows unless you have to. Ride your own ride. Oh yeah, don't ride alone. If you go over a cliff no one will know your there.

that sounds very promising.

It's not about growing the balls

If you're maintaining a safe speed, then the canyons are definitely a great time... especially in a group (not to mention the awesome scenic backgrop...but keep those eyes on the road!).

Quote:

They're great but dangerous...very dangerous. I had a friend of mine on a 250 follow me up ACH on one of our Sunday morning outings last summer. Long story short, he was behind me, and then I looked back and he wasn't. He target fixated on a snow level gauge and crashed...bad enough that he is paralyzed from the waist down. A horrible way to remind myself how unforgiving these mountain roads are. Look through those turns!

Consider taking your bike to the track...expand your options

You won't look back.

Quote:

Always ride within your limits and don't cross the double yellows unless you have to.

NEVER CROSS THE DOUBLE YELLOWS. Especially in the canyons. So many riders are taking a MASSIVE chance by crossing the double yellow on blind turns or worse yet, cars crossing the double yellow on a blind turn.

If you're "riding within your limits" you'll keep your judgment and lines sharp and consistent (ie. never crossing the double yellow). There is no room for erratic riding on the canyons.

Quote:

Oh yeah, don't ride alone. If you go over a cliff no one will know your there.

That's not a very good impression to give riders of the canyons (especially those who haven't gone yet).

Fear doesn't nuture confidence.

If you go with an experienced rider that knows the mountain you are going to ride, things should go just fine. The unexpected can never be avoided (gravel, cars, bicyclists..etc) but going with a level head at the base of the canyon is what will prepare you for anything up ahead.

NOTE:
If any of you guys want to ride Angeles Crest with me on and upcoming weekend. I'm up for it. However, halfway up, it'll start to get cold....REALLY COLD (cold pavement + aggressive riding = bad news). It's unavoidable this time of year. I'll keep my eyes on the temp for next weekend.

00v_Lucky, don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds

How long have you been riding and what kind of riding have you done?

kkim · February 14th, 2009, 10:34 AM

Chris,

Excellent post!

Ro's experience should be used a living proof that this is indeed a dangerous sport we are involved in. It saddens me deeply that it happened to such a great guy.

Balls??? How about using your brains to figure out when one is comfortable enough to enjoy the sport in a complex, dangerous environment like canyons??

+10 on the recommendation to save the adrenaline rushes for the track!!

Been riding since Sept 1st '08

I have been trying to hit up some curvy roads (flat land) and its kinda lame.

What is a confident turn speed you'd say on this new ninja on a right turn (I go about 25 mph) / left turn (30 mph)?

As for the canyon goes, I think ill be just content going up in my little rsx

for now that is, seeing some of peoples rides in the mountains seems too fun to pass up, so i plan on going this year one
