weather.com says that it will be partly cloudy and 65 - 70 degrees.

I am not really liking the 10% precipitation but o well.

FYI: My friend got a fix it ticket by chp at GMR the other day for front reflectors! So bring your reflectors just in case.

Gonna take me a couple hours to sort through my pics and video though so hang in there. =)
Great riding Adrian! You'd be a good partner for me in the hills mang. You really do know your turns back there too. Nice to meet you and everyone else today!

Talking Thanks KC

Can't wait to see your pics and video.

I just realized how lucky I am to be so close to GMR---it's home away from home with the twisties and views for miles. I met some good peeps today...can't wait to head up to SB....anytime you wanna fly down I will be anyones GMR hostess...

GMR does take a alot of practice practice practice---but once you got your lines down----it is a freakin' sweeeeet ride......

Come on KC--lets see some squids and pics!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a lot of fun. It was awesome getting to meet you guys in person ^_^ Even though I went down, I still really enjoyed the ride up until that point. And by the time I got on the freeway for the ride home, I was comfortable and enjoying my time in the saddle again. I think I hurt my pride more than anything else (Well, my pride and my fairings...)

I drove out to a kawi dealer as soon as I got home so I'll be cleaning her up and replacing what I can tomorrow while the inevitable soreness is setting in. It rode as well as always on the way home, so I think the damage was just on a surface level. Might get a mechanic to look over it just in case.

On that note, I did get some decent footage otherwise (although I think I need to angle my camera a bit better >_<). I'll post some stuff up as soon as I can get to my desktop and stop being so lazy.

Oh, and if you got a video of when I went down KC, don't feel too bad about posting it. I want to try to understand everything I did wrong so I can learn from mistakes like these.

========================================================
Well--I am glad you are ok. Anytime you wanna come up and face that turn again let me know. GMR is intimidating-tough-but addicting at the same time. After riding your bike--I knew it was okay.....felt like mine. And fyi---I know why you went down---I was 2 bikes behind you.....
1. wrong lean angle
2. too much lean

something that took me months to figure out.....and still am working at it....

Will post all pics here from my photobucket account. Then you guys can right click on them and hit "Save image as" and save them to your desktop after naming them. Helps me from having to mail them all and you guys get the same image. Since they were huge DSLR pics I had to resize them anyways or I couldn't email them feasibly.

Will comment/reply soon too... trying to get all these videos and pics uploaded before I rattle off my typing fingers like always. Loads of media will be up tonight but it might be late-ish this evening. Check back soon.

I made it back to Santa Barbara without much problem. Great ride, that curve at GMR really owned my pride more than anything. Shoulders bruised but okay (I hope) --- removed my fairing, and should have it fixed by Monday.

Just wanna say thanks to everyone for a great ride. Everyone was real cool as hell. Adriann, i'll bug you next time i'm in the area for round two.

KC, did you eat all your food yet? aha.

OK, round one.
Going to do this in pieces to try and avoid the spam filter.

I used three different cameras. Nikon S550 point and shoot, Nikon D70s DSLR and my iPhone for video.

The meeting spot










Top of the hill




Currentsea down!


Scrapies!


Tiff's bike trajectory (see the scratches on the pavement and pit in berm)

Sorry to trap your pics in the middle like that dude.

I feel terrible about your low side Tiff!
Hope you're OK. I think you just gotta learn to get your butt leaning off the side of the bike now and you'll be good to go. Nothing wrong with your speed, just the lean angle as Adrian says. That and a little more practice in the twisties. I don't know why that happened, you took some other pretty hefty corners earlier in the day at fair speeds as I see on the videos. Regardless, you did the right thing for the situation. If you would have stood the bike up it would have been much much worse. You kept leaning, major props!

I'll get to work on those videos..

/merged the pre-ride thread and the ride report thread, both now in Ride Reports. This way people can see the build-up as well as info on how the ride went. Epic get-together!
