Me either.

I'm kinda attached to my head. (I've had it since I was a baby).

OMG, that makes my heart race just looking at the picture. Scary, but at the same time I'd love to cruise down it.

Sweepers are all we have here. I've never ridden in anything you guys would consider tight.

I need about 90mph in the curves out here to have any fun.

Come to a rally with us sometime, you'll get MORE than enough tight turns...we've seen some INSANE cool roads together.

well I hope we get some tight stuff this year as I'll be on the DRZ... or I may just say fuck it and find the dirt.

the rally was more about the people than the ride for me...

but pancakes wasn't a rally... that was indy... but I know what you mean.

nice thing about off road... more than enough air time to be had.

I'm loving the DRZ on everything but the freeway. so much more than my RR... don't have to worry about the shitty pavement... sand, gravel, water, grass, ect... and 60 on the DRZ feels more fun than 80 or 90 on the RR on the same roads...

seriously thinking I may try a track day with it... heard Little Tally was a perfect track for the DRZ.

For your next assignment, put in for Colorado Springs. Twisty paved roads, and twisty dirt trails in the Rampart Range.

I was due to go there after Korea... but I'll do my best to avoid that place again if my assignment is the Air Force Academy. fuck that place... way to political.

I'm shooting for Mcchord in Tacoma WA... but Colorado Springs, and Denver are very high on my list.
