Well, I haven't posted much about riding recently as it's just been hella busy around here...We skipped Americade this week (just an hour north of us) since we had to get new tires and get overdue inspections this week, and it took till Saturday evening to get it all done. Last weekend, we rode with a friend up around Lake George while the bikers were arriving for Americade, took a run through Tongue Mountain and came back (riding 2-up of course). Today, I managed to get my bike up to 40mph and 4th gear, take a couple of nice curves on an access road around a hotel parking lot I've been practicing at, then drive around the corner to the Dunkin Donuts for dinner.

Congrats! My bike had some some square shinkos on it when i got it that looked like this: []. I put Pirelli Diablo Rossos on next and it scared me how quick turn in became. Great feeling once you get used to it. Just keep at it and all of the controls and downshifting will be second nature in no time.

that actually makes that bike more flickable - I'll bet he can lean that beast right over!
