The price of being good

[fallout]

Too be good at anything there is a price to pay.
I can't stunt but I like to watch it some, but learn it off public roads.

I knew tons of stunters in Houston, was always a pleasure to watch, they used to go out and find abandoned factorys and parking lots/roads and stunt, most didnt ride street at all. Also, most had wrecked enough stunts to know to wear gear. Most wore dirtbike helmets and pads rather than leather~

amen to that. i just fixed my bike from the last crash 3 months and my ankle is still hurt

The best way ive found to make it easier to get your wheel up is a front sprocket change. Did mine bout 2 weeks ago and have no idea why i waited so long. It kills gas mileage and you have to shift a lot quicker but it improves low speed acceleration.

Mine has -1 +2, best mod I ever did~

-2 +7 on my 07 gsxr 600, but it just made life easy on the whoolies. buddy's got a 02 f4i stunt piece, and his bike is in top gear when i hit 2nd lol.

I couldn't gear that aggressively. There are too many corners that I enjoy at 120+mph and I'd like to be able to stretch its legs more coming out of the corner. Plus I feel like I have to shift too much as it is.

Yeah, It's all in your riding style I suppose. I had a bad run in on a friday night on camdenon missouris cut off road "lil shortcut with back to back corners" and ever since i don't throw that knee down like i used to back in the day..... not sure whats gotten into me been kinda in shell shock for bout a year over it.

I've only had a minor low side in my whole riding career. Well, aside from my off road accidents on 3 wheelers and dirt bikes. I just don't have the want or need to get my knee down. I just like to enjoy myself and my style is more of a cruise then an aggressive ride style. To each is own, there is no right or wrong way as long as you're being safe about it. I feel comfortable riding with this group of guys mainly because they don't force anyone to do anything they are not comfortable with, and they are kind enough to wait for me to catch up to the group. This isn't easy for them to do in the middle of summer when it is 90+ outside and their in full leathers!

full leathers! jeeze! I'm a shorts tshirt flip flop guy, prob not the best thing in the world for when skin meets the ground, but that other stuff just looks uncomfortable, plus i'm sure if i was even interested they wouldn't make it in my "big boy size"
