My First Canyon Ride
So this morning I went out with Nigel, a vlogger I actually met on youtube (but realized he lived like 10 minutes from me), and we hit Ortega.
He has an 03 zx-6r, and I was on my ninjette. It was my first time over Ortega, and my first time in a canyon ever, and it was an absolute BLAST. I'm definitely addicted, and I can't wait to get back out there. Now I get why everyone loves it so much As for the ride, we made 2 passes over Ortega going both ways. I was nervous at first, but I held my corners pretty well. I only had one real scare, at one point I knew I was hitting a turn too quick, and I straightened up, ended up crossing into the other lane, and onto a turnout on the other side of the road where I braked pretty hard and locked up the rear. That scared me pretty straight, and I took it a lot slower after that. And to note.. I wasn't trying to keep up with him, he took off, I was just going a little faster than I should've been. But all in all it was fun, and I can't wait to do it again
