I also thought LJ was and excellent rider, as she knows how to do the curves. Riding ability means more than the bike, in such situations. It's in the straights where the power to weight ratio comes into play. It's much like golfing, as a person may be able to hit an awesome long tee shot, but it's on the green where the skill is needed.
Nice riding with you Matt, and getting to know you. I just got home the night before last. 7247 miles of fun.
During riding season I cannot recall ever having two weekends go by without her asking me to go up to large industrial lots to practice skills with cones.
I have never seen anyone more dedicated to improving themselves.
Aweosme vid mate! Oh and I ride a 09 SV650sf. I find that the more you "Squeeze" Your tank with your knees/legs, the less stress you will have on your hands. Of course there are different ways of sitting for twisties and just cruising. But the basics have to be used to enjoy the ride. I find hesitation is what causes the crashes take place. Just like in the MSF course: Slow, Look, Press, and Roll.
Aweosme Vid. Gear up,stay safe, and enjoy the ride! :)

When LJ was up here she was a practice fanatic.
