Man, it's been a while since I've done that... Last time was on a friend's beat up GSXR600 and the throttle went WOT in a low speed tight right hander. No road rash though thanks to the leathers... about twice as expensive to get XL-Tall sizes (6'3" and 210 LBS), but they are worth every penny.

There aren't many places to do this on the street... notice the parking lot background. Any debris on the street would put the most experienced rider down to kiss pavement. Any scars from past performances Dom?



Yup! Leather is good for you skin! That is if you don't like road rash and have doctors scrap rocks out of your rash. Joe Rocket actually makes stuff for taller riders, and they're not too expensive.

That road was actually in the hicksville, that was some redneck's house you see there. We actually got kicked out of that public roads by the "locals" who think they own the roads. We were riding around on a road that's rarely traveled and they tried to block the roads around a blind corner. I almost ran into one of them when I took that corner again. Funny thing is, later on during the ride a guy crashed elsewhere right in front of me and he didn't have a riding jacket on. He flipped and his bike flew over his head, both ended up in the woods and he got some rash up his forearm. He was OK and rode home. Though we all knew he was going to crash from looking at the way he had been riding.

Now, if you remember I posted pictures of my bike after I low-sided it about 1.5 months ago. My shoulder still hurts a little from that crash thanks to that one roll after I fell off.
