RLAP CLASS 3rd day

Babybiker, Jerry, Flo, Doug


Pissed off!!!!! Somewhere along the line, I lost the damn friction zone, unless of cours I never had it and have been gliding through all the excercises at home, which in that case is pretty damn good too, but for total control, ya need to know the frickin friction zone, and not just for a few seconds.

I got demoted... frack.....I am on a little 250 doing the slow walk on it, to find the friction zone!! I want me friction zone. I know when I can find it I will ace the excercises. Ha... at least I have a smile on my face riding the little thing going 2 mph. How do you go from cool, to tool in 30 seconds??? Let the Motorman find you without a friction zone.

Check out the ponytail!

This class was BRUTAL!!! Don't ever think ya know it, that is for sure. Now I know why MM says your skills are parishable, alot of mine parished. That damn friction zone. I was having real trouble with it today, even had MM ride the bike to see if there was something wrong with it.. Nope.. nothing wrong with the bike, it's the nut behind the handle bars needs tighting.

I seemed to be able to do all the excercises, and stay in the inside of the lines but holy crap, where did the friction zone go??

Motorman says....

I need more work in the clutch and throttle, staying straight up and let the bike lean under me. Stop stearing the bike, like I am just along for the ride. Those were the negatives... On the positive side, I am not afraid to lean..

If you could have only seen him riding around on his Bonnieville mimicking me on my bike.. Damn batterie died in my camera.

So as you see I have a long way to go yet... and it is not the bike.
