Yeah you've got to be relaxed to turn, so your own pace is the way to go. It can be hard to put your faith in the bike, but build it up gradually and it'll all come back

I am going at the speed that I can make one smooth line without adjusting, and each time I go through the same turns, I go little faster. Just like how I did before.

Those pictures were taken at one end of the island. It was a very windy day and after we took pics, the while gsxr in front of me got knocked down by wind.

That happened to me once too, I had the bike on the center stand and it was a very windy day, I went out to see it on its side, smashed mirror and bent clutch lever. Lesson learned, always have it on the side stand in high winds.

Well, it was on side stand as we only have side stand. Left side of the road was bit higher and I was afraid if my bike was going to fall because it felt like it is standing straight. I would thought my bike will be the first one to be knocked down. Luckily he only had scratches on bar end, frame sliders and his stock muffler. So we were teasing him that now he has excuse to get a aftermarket muffler
