This is a vid from 3/3/07. It starts off on our second run of the road, first run I led and then we hit the end and decided to ride it back to get a feel for that direction as well/check for debris, etc. Then when we returned back to the beginning, I offered to shoot video of him riding so he could see his form, etc. Slowing your usual pace to tape someone is tricky But finally when we hit the turnaround again........I kill the cam and we ride back to an "S" turn he wanted to shoot vid from.....so he dismounts and gets his gear out. I flip the cam back on and head back, turn around and come back his way.........I know I could have shifted into 3rd, but wasn't trying to set a speed record Well, somewhere after starting the right hander, you can see what I saw........a big white POLICE vehicle.......hmmmm.....yeah, we stopped taping after that......(there's more to it, but we'll leave it at that)

LINK!!!

 

Oh, that's me on the R6 and him on the Monster 900 Cromo.

 

For the love of God, man!!! Would ya' please shift the poor Yamaha!!!

Thus, the reason I ride large displacement motorcycles...................

 

yeah its got some more gears. This is why they always say 600's live hard lives Oh and this bike is for sell I can tell

 

LOL! Surprisingly I don't ride that hard on it usually, I rarely see the shift light. Only reason it is for sale (and after that ride I had second thoughts about selling it) is so I can keep this SuperHawk...........

 

yeah u can have to many bikes ,,, My wife said different. But what does she know

 

I'm sitting on 4 right now...........the SHawk, R6, and 2 Monsters

 

Figured we may as well have a video shot from the cockpit of a Super Hawk:

Looks like Pisgah or somewhere near Deal's Gap area. Correct or am I way off?

 

C'mon buddy. You lived in VA for a while!
Rt.60 heading east from the Blue Ridge Parkway toward Amherst. Vid is from last year, but I rode the same stretch last Saturday when the temps got in the 60s.
Was with a new riding buddy on a V-Strom 650, who has 250k miles riding experience. The pavement was absolutely pristine, so we had a very nice run thru there.
(Unlike 56, which we took up & over the mountain. So much sandy gravel I was tiptoeing at 5-10-15 mph. Only problem the V-Strom had was having to stop & wait for me. Felt like such a noob!)

 

I wrecked on 56 in a washout behind my buddy on a Frankenzuki about 4 years ago. That's when I had my RC51. Did a day trip so I decided to take the VTR. That was a shitty day...but we were able to ride back. Both of us were unhurt.

I never rode that stretch of 60 before. Looks like I probably should've. I've done the Parkway/Skyline plenty of times though.
