No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Super Duked a squirrel today...
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Is that some sort of east coast euphemism?  ;D

No, not at all.  Just a suicidal squirrel darted out, and straight into my line, while out riding today.  The guy behind me had his camera going and captured the twirling aftermath...

It was about the 1:34 mark.  Kind of hard to see it with the level of compression that was applied to the video file.  But if you listen really closely you can hear Ted start laughing.   ;D

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Bit more of last Sunday's ride:

CAM Ride 4/3/11 - Squirrelicide

Strange.  In the video it looks like I am leaning away from the turn in a lot of spots, but it feels like I am leaning into it when on that road...

At around the 5 minute mark I notice you leaning away to the right in left turns. Right turns more body lean to the right. Before that mark your lower body would lean into the turns, left or right, but your head and sometimes shoulders would go back to straight up.

This is something I still play with. Do I just lean over with everything and try to make sense out of an extremely tilted "video" or do I get over and then try to get my visual back to a more normal vertical viewpoint?  I haven't figured out which is better and seem to be able to do both equally well or equally bad, depending....  [laugh]

Maybe due to the fact that the SD is more like a SM than a standard bike? Dunno, it happened to me when I took a demo ride on a 200cc SM type bike ...

just got back from kentucky and Ohio... i never wanted to have my bikes with me more that for the last 2 weeks. even though it was 40+ degrees
it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.
