The Fallen at Deals Gap - Set Your Goals

Get me out of here.
This isn't slowing down.
We've hit black ice and lost control.
We're spinning faster now.
Tell me are we flying? Are we falling to the ground?
If tomorrow doesn't come, did we die for nothing?
Recounting past events has helped reveal that you don't give a damn about the days when you would live the words you wrote.
Not the person who you were; I hate the person you've become.
You inspired. Now expired, it has died for nothing.
Some stop feeling love for all the places they come from.
A person I will not become.
A jaded liar, unforgiveable.
Some stop feeling love for every word that they once sung.
May I never lose my youth and If I do, may I be forgettable.
You said you started up this home because you didn't like the way these kinds of things were run.
You've said you understand the work it takes to make us grow.
If you had then where were you?
We've payed our dues without you.
Am I the only one who sees all of this deceit and festering hypocricy?
Don't ever talk to me like you think you know me or what I've been through.
I am nothing like you!
Some stop feeling love for all the places they come from.
A person I will not become.
A jaded liar, unforgiveable.
And some stop feeling love for every word that they once sung.
May I never lose my youth and If I do, may I be forgettable.
This is the Fallen.
This is the last time you will have us.
You're lawless and purely dishonest.
A scandal that we have funded for you.
Make no mistake this all is about you.
No, we never knew.
This is the last time you will have us.
Don't buy what they sell you.
You're lawless and purely dishonest.
No, we never knew.
A scandal that we have funded for you.
Don't buy what they sell you.
Make no mistake this all is about you.
But I can't stop feeling love for this place we both came from, and I will never lose my youth.
All of this is too unforgettable.
Some stop feeling love, some stop feeling love, some stop feeling, some stop feeling, some stop feeling, some stop feeling, some stop feeling, some stop feeling love for all the places they come from.
A person I will not become.
A jaded liar, unforgiveable.
Some stop feeling love for every word that they once sung.
May I never lose my youth and If I do, may I be forgettable.

that's a good idea, thanks.

[operationnorthwoodz]

@Indigozek

And drop your tire pressures to 34/34 hot for curvy roads and parking lot practice, same as race tracks.

[Indigozek]

alright thanks, I had it around 34 for a while but it seemed really low, so I would pump it up to 40+ which is actually over the recommended PSI on the tire. Lower pressure = more surface area?

[operationnorthwoodz]

Yes more surface area, plus more compliance to absorb small bumps since the suspension can't absorb bumps well at max lean angle, and more heat which is required for the rubber to grip anywhere near its design potential. Be sure to put the pressure back up for the ride home to reduce tire wear. The max cold pressure on the sidewall is only for max gross weght with 2 riders and gear on the street. Always carry a tire gauge and check every day before you ride, and as you ride when on curvy roads.

[operationnorthwoodz]

@Indigozek

In cold weather drop pressure below 34/34 Hot, for more flex to make tires heat up to operating temp. Write down your Cold pressure after the tire cools down, and record the air temp for comparison. Check pressure every day since it fluctuates so much or to find a slow leak and thus prevent a crash at max lean angle. The surface of the tire will look very different when it's gripping properly at low pressure. Look at these photos: Youtube(dot)com(slash)watch?v=­HcQW_u2AZM8

[Indigozek]

awesome! I really want to lean like that, but I don't trust the bike yet.

[operationnorthwoodz]

@Indigozek

I can lean enough to drag a knee in a parking lot at a steady 21 mph, but the Dragon freaks me out with 636 mostly blind curves in 22 miles, weird camber and radius changes, moving obstacles, plus braking and acceleration. After 35 years of riding, I'm still lernin. But sportbikes and tires are designed to be safe at those lean angles. Just a matter of enough practice time to trust the engineers. Too bad it's a crime to learn how to ride, and wearing safety gear is PC for arrest.

[gonzosc1]

nice vid and good form.. I ride my c14 on the dragon all the time and love it. people freak on me when they see me drop a knee on that monster bike, LOL but I set it up for that, could not do it on the stock c14. lowered front and rear 1/2" , seat lowered almost 2" , pegs raised about 1". god I love my bike!!!

[gorflunk]

@operationnorthwoodz

Yeah, I hate that in the US if you are geared up you get that extra attention from the man. It's ass-backwards. The way I figure it though is if I'm riding a lime green ZX-10R I'm gonna attract them anyway, might as well be safe doin it.

[k4rma]

Thats so B.A.! Two things I love: Deals Gap and Set Your Goals!

[DTProductions188]

Wonderfully great visual trip!

Thanks for sharing!

5/5 Stars!
