terrible roads..

[antipathy]

Baby oil, maybe.

In other news, apparently my rear is leaking oil. Still investigating the cause.

[Valgar]

I like to hover my butt just a few inches

Where do I stick the dollar bills?

[luckygirl]

it's the chunks that make the flavor.

The only person in the club that can make James throw up in his mouth...A LOT!

TK!

Vegemite is for wimps.

it's the chunks that make the flavor.

And that would be the line that not even I intended to cross.

[lugnut]

Yeah, like marmite but without the subtlety in flavor.

Fixed.

I hope that yeast infection tasted great in your mouth!

Love,

Not only does everyone know where you live, they also know what your underwear tastes like.

Oh, "you're" shitting on the language again.

HUGS AND KISSES.

Weight your pegs: this will use your legs as shock absorbers and free up your bikes suspension to deal with the nasty potholes and crap you see on goat trails.
Pinch the tank with your knees: this will allow you to keep your crotch back a bit and allow more room to maneuver for side to side transitions. This stable base will also allow you to use your abdominal muscles more, freeing up your arms. With your upper body loose and relaxed you'll find it's much easier to whip the bike around in these hairy switchbacks.
Throttle control: is important at all times, particularly when going down hill on a goat trail. You have to maintain that front to rear balance on the bike at all times, and cracking open the throttle just a touch can keep 60% of the weight on the rear wheel. If you enter a corner with front brakes on or the throttle switched off you can put too much load on your front tire.

Blazing up a goat trail on an inline-4 sportbike is a very difficult thing to do well. Learning that skill will serve you well in the long run

where the hell did you take that picture, and when? I thought most of the dirt was blocked off by the landslide, unless there's a way around it...

Last week. First trail on the left about 1/4 mile up TV Tower 'Road.' Trail doesn't go more than a couple hundred yards, but I needed somewhere to park while I ran around looking for weird shit to eat off the ground.

[Junkie]

...sorry. I've just been waiting for an opportunity to brag about my last trip up the cuesta grade.

+10 on riding out of the seat and keeping your weight on the pegs. I like to hover my butt just a few inches out of the saddle on the really rough roads. Maybe it just feels more comfortable knowing I'm one foot out the door already if I bail. Or maybe it's just valuable buffer between my balls and the wall.

Also, (and perhaps more obviously) don't hesitate to pick a less-than-ideal line if it might steer you clear of some less-than-ideal traction.

In other news, apparently my rear shock is leaking oil. Still investigating the cause.
