You fail.

I may be getting a nice digi cam soon so if we go again I'll take some shots.

You were doing pretty well out there BlackOut. You definitely do a better job of riding within your limits than us guys. Well except for Jim :rolleyes:

Howard and J6 did pretty nicely too. I had a fun time following both of them. Sorry if I made you guys feel uncomfortable at anytime by following to closely. Was just having a nice time watching your lines. Howard you've really come a long way since I first met you on that 250. For not having ridden pally in a couple of months you had some really nice lines and were very smooth out there.

That was only my 3rd time up to pally. We'll definitely have to go again some time. I think my suspension issues may be more rider error than anything. When things are going well the bike is amazing. But when things aren't they get sketchy in a hurry. So I think I just need to go to pally more often, or just not push as much and learn the road better. The only thing is pally is just so far from where I live. I can almost be done with a trip to the twisties that i frequent by the time it takes me to even get to pally. Pally is a nice change of pace though. Some of decreasing radius' really get me though. It's hard to find a good gear for them on the sumo, and really there isn't. On a couple of them you just have to choose to high or to low.

But anyways, it was fun. I'd definitely like to do it again!

Some spots were a little dirty. They could get you into trouble if you weren't paying attention. But fortunately they aren't really in lean areas.

Yea, good ride Jim and Zack... Frankly, i lost all confidence in my riding and was riding scared which made it hella scary... Hopefully, the next time i go there, it'll be on better terms and i'll be more prepared in abetter state of mind...
also, i hate going slow... i'd rather crash and die... j/k
