    That's a classic example of someone riding well beyond their means in the canyons. He's very fortunate to not have slammed into either of the vehicles. He needs to slow down and learn how to ride first.

    "So live your life so the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their views, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
    "

    Holy christ... That was tremendous. I don't know whether to laugh or cringe. That was filthy.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Why would you even strap a camera on your bike if you suck so bad? Maybe he wants to see how much he SUCKS!

    Yah, I did that once, years ago in Indian Hills between 285 and Kitterege.

    If that was in CO I'm sure the guy woulda blamed that on "sand". Obviously, for his skills, he came in to hot and tried to brake in the turn. The bike then "righted" itself. That's why I tell myself, in corners, PUSH (countersteer)... seems to work everytime.

    One thing I noticed, there were no "suggested" speed through corner signs on that turn.
