Default Welcome to my back yard....where everyone is welcome...

Welcome to my back yard gentlemen. 150+ turns in less than 30 miles. BEAUTIFUL twisty roads, everything from chicanes, to knee dragging hairpins. Gorgeous surrounding scenery and only 200 ft cliffs on one side of the road the whole way.

The beginning of it all, I call it warm-upcanes


At the end of those, it starts to get into preatty nice corners...great for practicing lines before the big ones...


Just a couple more nice little turns before the


Kneedragger, beautiful 100mph corner, with a 300ft cliff on one side...


If you get distracted going around the kneedragger you'll see this little development..


Just past the first kneedragger is another insane 60mph kneedragging 190 degree hairpin (yes it actually goes past a full 180) Its hard to take a picture of, my photo taking skills are the suck...


Comming over the crest of a hill is another glorious 100+ mph kneedragger


As your going through this one you have another beautiful distraction with about 100 ft cliff on your left side


Well guys I hope you enjoyed the pics. I did not take anymore cause well...I wanted to ride the damn road as well This is one of the most reknown roads in the area for motorcycle deaths. It takes at least a handful of poor souls a year. They would put in baracades and stuff on the cliffs if more people drove down the road, right now its mostly a bike road.

And an updated picture of my bike with the stickers removed I said I was going to remove.

I don't have any shots of me riding at all, unfortunantly...I was the only one there, my buddy crapped out on me. I really find it hard to stop on that road, it takes away from the adrenaline. I was by myself so I was like. Im going to take it ez tonight which was hard...Ive got Teknics Leathers right now...

Man i can't wait to get them done, the stock gearing on this bike sucks either that or its drastically lacking in power compaired to my last 2 bikes. Ill throw a decent sprocket change on there and Im set I can ride this thing for a while (at least I hope)

Yeh man I moved away from this for a year and was making WAY more money than I am now, but i moved back because riding in straight lines for 2-4 hours before you come to corners is lame...I love it here....beautiful roads and beautiful women, what else do you need?

One word of advise... if you ever go down and your doing any kind of speed, make sure you curl up into as tight a ball/fetile position as possible after you leave the roadway... those trees will absolutely make your body fly apart if you impact them with any velocity, but that road doesn't look really to fast.

I guess that could be one of the reasons why quite a few people die there every year?? The corners I could see error on are the kneedraggers (caution of lowside) and those have 100+ ft cliffs on the other side so no worry of hitting trees there..
