Looks like she made it Garrett......... this was from yesterdayhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/capfacsurf/3304905232/in/set-72157614352924428/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/capfacsurf/3304905232/in/set-72157614352924428/) Looks like there were 3 675's out there yestaerday............ you better mount up Joe & show em' the fast way around da bu [thumbsup] Title: Re: Theft.................

I don't get it. What in that picture makes you worried that she might crash? Is it something I'm not familiar with like maybe you know the curve she's on and it's a lot sharper than she's leaning? Or am I bad rider and she's doing something wrong that I don't see. ??? Title: Re: Theft................. Post by: joekarati on February 25, 2009, 12:54:50 PM IMO, she looks:
1). tense 2). weight too far forward, tank hugger 3). head/ body too upright for lean angle Title: Re: Theft................. Post by: Speeddog on February 25, 2009, 02:24:34 PM Is it my imagination, or is she pushing the front end in this pic (_DSC6863) ?

Post by: gm2 on February 25, 2009, 03:28:15 PM IMO, she looks: 1). tense 2). weight too far forward, tank hugger 3). head/ body too upright for lean angle yep. and it's got nothing to do with the particular corner she's on. her arms are stiff, she's way too far forward, she's way too far leaned over not to be off the seat some, and her head is up in the air. she's creating a situation where the center of gravity is too high and too much aligned with the center of the bike. and she's giving the bike all kinds of bad steering input. she's begging for a lowside, unfortunately. i'm really glad it didn't happen of course, but if she's skilled enough to be going that (apparently) fast that she needs that much lean angle, i hope she gets some instruction. and yeah, could easily be pushing the front there a little. hard to tell, but not that hard to do. =) edit: and actually, looking at it again, she's pulling her head a little bit in the opposite direction. shoulders rotated just a little toward the outside. her eyes look like they are pointed just right of the center of the bike. yikes! Title: Re: Theft................. Post by: erkishhorde on February 26, 2009, 02:31:46 PM What does pushing the front end mean?
Title: Re: Theft................. Post by: Speeddog on February 26, 2009, 02:58:57 PM What does pushing the front end mean? Sliding the front tire. Title: Re: Theft................. Post by: sqweak on February 27, 2009, 03:55:19 PM in other words, she looks exactly like I do on the track. :P
Title: Re: Theft................. Post by: erkishhorde on March 01, 2009, 08:27:02 AM Ah, thanks for the info. A few of those are things that I do. :-X

"for any corner, you only need to make 1 turn." ;) Title: Re: Theft.................

I don't like trying to figure out what's under a guys jeans [puke] Thats not what GregP said... or do you only try to figure it out when it comes to a guy's tight leathers? Or maybe you just invite guys to stay the night and tell them they don't need any pants [laugh] Title: Re: Theft.................
