    I am disappointed that you failed to comment on Reg's riding position, :frown: specifically in the Tip-Top picture. I am unsure this is the proper riding technique for these curves. Would someone please indulge the larger forum community with their distinguished knowledge by providing your comments on (Taz, this is intended for you :biggrin:):
    how you'd approach these curves?
    Where would you turn in?
    What exit strategy do you have?
    Where would you apex?
    Are you concerned about available traction on these types of curves?

    :eek: OMG your right, should of pointed that out, I guess you didn't get my joke :confused:

    No I reserved myself to shorten my comments, since you like to bag on my "constructive" critisism :lol:

    Sorry I'm not Pridmore,Spencer, Code, or some proven racer & instructor, but have had some schooling (been to Freddie's, & Cal Superbike school), as well as club racing MX, Desert, TT, & Superbike for going on 39 years now I like to give free advice if it means it will make a rider safer, faster, & have more fun.

    So no digging in my comments, just helpful hints, but all riders should ride in there limits & comfort zone :biggrin: & mostly have fun, as they did on this trip :wink:

    Taz: Sorry if I'm picking on you too much, I was trying to dig on the Tip Top pose by the club. Sorry if I've crossed the line, I definitely got your joke, and the caution of others. perhaps, not enough smilies in my post ? I try hard not to cross the line, but do ride near it.

    I'm enjoying not diggin' on your comments, by reserved my right to dig on your lack of comments, if I have that right, er, correct. :wink:

    Prosit,
    Paul

    I can honestly say from my point of view, I had a great time. I wish more had made it, but it really didn't lessen my fun any. :) Next year, I hope to repeat it (only without the slide) hehe... Maybe I can get a track day in or two before then also...

    well, I thought I'd bump this so more people will see the pics and think about joining in this year. I plan on doing it sometime in august. I'm gonna take a look at my schedule and see so I can put some dates up here. then we'll let RW the master planner work out a ride schedule. he likes that kind of stuff. I just get on the bike and go and show up when I show up. Plan so far is for me to leave central coast and blow through Cali fast making WA in 2 days or less... Then from there we start the arduous task of hitting as many curvy roads through WA and OR to N. Cal to ride again... I'm planning on a week of riding if anyone thinks they are up for the whole shebang...
