Got bored enough to hop on Yahoo maps and search for a curvy road. Darnit if everything down here isn't straight. I swear the roads look like a darn grid. Anyhoo found one that looks promising. Went and found it...............

Got up to speed, nice turns, some 90 degree bends with blind corners, dirt on two of them........took it easy through those. On all the corners, I went in as deep as I could, grabbed alot of brakes......slid the front a bit, recovered and found the limits of traction while on the power out of the exit......coming out with very mild oversteer. :D

All and all it was a fun ride.............can't wait to try it on my bike.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

<---------Practicing for Road Racing in the GT. This thing needs bigger brakes.

You might cruise up to N. La. if you want some twisties. Anywhere North of Ruston is windy as fuck. The only down side is no shoulder and 6ft. bar ditches make laying it down a risky proposition. It's not exactly the safest place, ya know?

I know. Which is why I haven't EVER ridden twistys on my bike down here. :( Everyone just street rides and cruises around. I guess I should get a Busa :rolleyes:

Slow in, fast out.
