Title: lane sharing and that warm IZ_ feeling Post by: Desmostro on June 16, 2009, 03:38:59 PM 3 of us had the opportunity to weave 'politely' through a medium sized gaggle of harley d's in a tight section of 84.
First showing a wheel to the last one and blipping throttle a couple of times got them bobbing and weaving like a flamingo mating dance. I just know the next time I go to the garage it's going to smell like hot Pirelli and 848 goodness. For some reason I have the warmest fuzziest feeling now. Like I can make it through another week. wish you were here [moto] Title: Re: lane sharing and that warm IZ_ feeling Post by: remy on June 16, 2009, 04:40:48 PM That was one of the best rides I've been on in a long time.

I think I paused next each member and gave a little "excuse me" gesture. Thaks E for taking the lead and pulling us through!

We had to navigate them like Pylons and then run a circle around the last one [laugh] I wish this was bragging about some great skill we possessed, however they were so slow in the twisties it was more like a chewing gum exercise :P I do have to say though my chicken strips are a bit smaller after this ride. It was a healthy pace and an all around excellent day I will remember for a while. Thanks guys [thumbsup] [laugh] [laugh] True! Yes, it was the politest weaving.
