RLAPING

Had a ball working with a couple friends of mine. I am teaching a couple gals that have been riding for 10 years how to RLAP.. Well, it has been something. Through shear determination and patience, they arent the easiest to teach. This is not to say I am not totally enjoying it.. I love seeing the smiles and high fives when they get it, and how excited they are improving their skills and learning how to handle their big bikes with out putting their feet down. It never seises to amaze me how those 3 techniques work and how easy it is to let them slip. The patience Ihave comes form being such a hard learner myself and can totally sympathize with what they are goin through. Crikey that damn fricition zone, why is it so hard to find and easy to loose. It is just amazing, such a small little thing. Why on earth would you NOT want to look where you want to go??Seems simple doesn't it, but so hard to do.. Those damn instincts.. This is one place you you can really say...Don't go with your instincts.
Although they have be riding for 10 years down the highway its amazing how we all survive out there not really knowing what we are doing. How we all have avoided doing u-turns by riding the size of the parking lot to turn around. Or the old fashion duckwalking...NO NO NO.. It not only looks silly it is showing the whole world, you dont know how to ride or control your bike, plus dangerous...Words from the Wise Motorman, not mine, so don't take offense, just git your feet up!! or buy the dvd and or his new book that is out.. Or get some training..
I was talking to a local retired cop who does training here and he says over half the class are women and they are the ones that are usually better riders. Of course....they like to prove themselves too that we are as good as if not better than men in so many areas of life.
I see some more tshirts coming out!!!! I RIDE BETTER THAN BOYS!!
Back to the gals.. I have been filming the bad and the good so they can watch themselves improve. To see where they are going wrong, and to get a good laugh. Some comentating, some cursing and some laughing.. hey I might get rich if I sell them ..lol
We are having fun rlaping.. Dang rain today h ope it stops in a couple hours :(
