A little Lean Angle fun

LOL...SOOOO much easier said than done. Those survival instincts have served me well in my career. I'm working on it though.

Oh yeah, I don't mean to make it sound easy or be flip about it, it's a challenging thing turning your lizard brain off and letting the adrenaline junkie monkey brain take over.

I still fight it every time I go out.

It's uncanny, I remember once looking at some woods as I was going by, thinking, ****, it would suck hitting those trees, and darned if the bike didn't start going right where I looked, always stuck with me, don't look where you don't want to go.

Perfect, went from here to Instagram, first thing on my feed.

I believe that's called target fixation. It can probably account for a percentage of deer strikes. Its real hard not to stare at that beast that just jumped out in front of you.

That's a big reason I try not to look at the road too much these days, when I see a pot hole, weird spot, bump, anything looking slick I inevitably focus on it and it's incredibly distracting (unsafe).

You almost idle into the curve. You need to enter at a higher rpm say like 2500 then you can wind it up on the way out ! Oh and get up on that tank and slapp the beach . Tell her where to go quit riding her like your on a barcalounger save that for the super slab !!!!!

Scott; now that I have the chance to upgrade. 13 or 12.5? 444?

They will rebuild your 440's or get 13" 444's for general all up riding.

While I didn't do it on video at all, my absolute favorite thing is coming into a turn at about 4000-5000 in 2nd, maintenance throttle, then pin it at apex and hold on for dear life.

I think @WyldCFH may have seen me do it once or twice on 337 in Leakey, go**** it feels so good on the rocket. Like riding a wave of OMG WHAT HAVE I DONE coupled with HOLY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING.

Trust your tires, they'll stick, I promise!

There were a couple times we came flying out of one curve, down the straight and I had to brake hard to keep from hitting you because I wasn't expecting you to do just that. One time I found the point where my ABS and traction control kicked in in Dynamic Pro ride mode.

My 2 cents... I didn't like the 444 for the way I ride. Sure they were "comfy" but pushing them I could make them wallow.
