Opas ride, you just need to kick your game up a bit.
One of the local guys is 78 and riding a couple year old Aprillia.
He's riding the new one because he crashed his last one. Yeah, crashed at 150 mph during a track day at age 74!
My brother asked him about the hospital bills (Huge!!!) and he said the insurance covered it because track days were considered educational. When asked if it was educational, what had he learned he replied "Don't get off at 150!"
So Opa there's hope yet.😄

This guy was legend around here. People hired him to film them riding the Gap.I think he has the record for the most consecutive trips through Deals Gap ........
Was a legend? Did something happen to him or is there someone better?
He was NEVER the fastest ........ But on a Wing or any other big touring bike I would have to say YES !

Hi guys, I cut my teeth on sport bikes years ago and all of the training that I acquired along the way has come with me to the F6B. Ive attended Keith Codes super street bike school, Lee Parks's Total Control courses as well as a handful of others through the years. with that said, Im no Valentino Rossi but I can pilot a motorcycle through any turn at a respectable speed while maintaining the ability to react to changes in road conditions and the occasional idiot driving left of center. I would argue that your suspension is practically useless when you're scraping hard parts. An unloaded suspension can lead to low and highsides or even stand the bike up in a turn and lead to you running out of road and in to disaster. Although sparks look cool, they are likely signs that your body position needs work. what I mean is the more of you that is on the inside of the turn, the less the bike has to lean into the turn. This "body off" technique gains you more ground clearance and more importantly suspension travel. You certainly won't master this from reading my ramblings but I highly recommend attending a riding course (Its not just for the sport bike guys ya know) it WILL improve your riding. just my two cents.Attachment 26028

I have scraped pegs few times, sometimes going harder than I thought and couple when going faster in poorly planned corner every time been delighted that this bike handles adjustments very forgiving easy and certainly will do more than I feel like riding it
He had a bad accident. He no longer rides. He still does the Dragon but in a Nissan Z. He drives a truck for a living.
"Go sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked up"
Last I know he crashed on the Dragon. He is recovered and not riding anymore.
