Squid of the day (yesterday)

Where: Mall parking lot

What: Harley rat with 6' sissy bar and ape hangers, open headers

Who: Teen with sagging emo jeans, chucks, fingerless knitted gloves, t-shirt (fishnet?), knit cap, sunglasses, obligatory red bandana hanging out of his back pocket

How: Standing up on the seat like a skateboard (brachiator bars were the perfect height for this)

And here's one of his minions.......  http://www.flickr.com/photos/capfacsurf/3502437025/#in/set-72157617619753633/looks like he's dragging his shifter trying to keep up [laugh]

I wouldn't exactly call myself a minion...    :-*   But in all seriousness,  I'm nowhere near the double yellow, I'm looking through the turn,  and I think I have decent body position...  What's so squidly here?   ???   Any helpful/non-sarcastic/constructive comments appreciated.  I only want to ride better...   Thanks...   [moto]

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

Yeah.... just bustin' the Captain's balls...... you look fine & about the only thing I'd add is hang off a little more so you don't have to lean the bike over so much..... if you catch the shifter it cold get ugly fast on the street [thumbsup]

I just started trying to get my butt off the seat in the last few months...  so I'm not comfortable making quick transitions side to side yet.  :-\   If you know the corner where Paul hangs out in the am, it's  a right-hander approach and then the sharp left where the photo was taken.  I just can't seem to get far enough off the seat in such a short time between right and left...  [bang]   

On the squidly note,  118 Freeway, westbound in Simi Valley,  GSX-R1000 riding two up.  Him: T-shirt, back protector, Long shorts, socks pulled up to knees and sneaks.
Her: hoodie and jeans.  Hoodie was like halfway up her back and jeans were so small, all you could see was ass-crack.  :o  And not the good kind if you know what I mean...

Oh yea, splitting traffic at close to 80mph.  [roll]
