riding behind trip is like taking acid and watching fantasia... even though you know what to expect, its still unpredictable and full of "wtf" moments.

some of my favorite trip moments are when he decides instead of going straight, at the last minute we are going to tank slap, do a 180 followed by another imediate 180 and take the other road.

and then theres harrassing the cars in front of him, like a gazzelle walking up to a sleeping lion and poking it in the ass with its horns.

I know that bike can do more, but I was def pushing it pretty hard. I think when the R6 forks get put on it will help the bike. But that won't be until after i'm back from Florida. And sill doesn't improve the rider.

ya, i tried to follow his line once saturday, let's just say his brakes work WAY better then mine, especially when i don't know there is a hard right hander coming. After some severe chattering of the front end, gripping for dear life and just laying it over right as far as I could, thank God there was a bike coming not a car. I made ZERO attempt to keep up after that one.
