Default Ride 1/26/2008

03busa40th (guy off GSB, my local forum) and myself met up n went for a ride over Fort Mtn today. Wasnt much gravel on the west side of the mtn, but the east side had it ever good there is. We then rode thru merry oh Ellajay and found a parking to scrub in my new tires more. My hat is off to 03busa40th. He may be a youngman but he can handle that busa :up: He gave me a few pointers, which I appreciate greatly. Well heres a few pictures.

A Hayabusa...in January...in a tiny parking lot...knees down...OMG that's more ballsy than spamming a forum full of wealthy NSX owners...

I mean seriously there can't be more than a sixty foot radius available and homeboy is carving that lot like it's an airport runway...amazing

How's the PP's PG? I'm about to run a pair of Pirelli's...kinda excited for Italian shoes

for me, i get off the bike and position myself well........but i think i puss out and take the turn too slow. i mean, i guess its better that way. but whenever im mid-turn im always thinking "hell, i could have been up one more gear". but i guess its best that i decide to drop one gear before the turn.
