stupid dualsport kids.   [laugh]

they were not a part of our group, and the first kid I rode up on, never checked his mirrors and didnt move over till his buddy in front of him slowed him down. The Monster does not have the same, quick-pass power that the 1098 does, so it took awhile to find the right place to pass the kid. The kid in front of me towards the end picked up the pace as soon as I got behind him. (he had street tires on) you can see him wheelie away from the stop sign. As we pulled into the parking lot, you see a Goldwing and a Harley off to the right. Apparently the Harley guy was a bit of a douchebag. After getting off his bike, he walked over the one of the groups that were there prior to us arriving, and said something about people dying and nobody having a brain, then walked away.  ;D

I dunno. From the way the guy told the story, it sounded like he just didnt like sportbikes.

The Harley and Goldwing guys had come from up on the hill... the guys he confronted had come from Porterville, so it's not like the SBK guys had passed them doing something stupid.

It just was a lil funny having a guy with a t-shirt and half helmet telling a group of guys wear'n full gear, that they are stupid.  [laugh]

Was the 1st video shot in slow motion ?   [laugh]  It sure is wierd looking w/ no trees. Where I ride it is completly tree lined from 10 '
off the road , kind of like riding through a tree alley.

You could go off the road and back on. I go off the road and I'm pasted against a tree  !  Dolph

Thanks for the Vids bp.
