\r\n \r\n doin good for only 3 sessions in man. Try not to chase them out so much...pop it right up to bp from the get go or if ur a lil under, blip the throttle a tad to get it there. Ur lookin good tho. The ones at the end of ur second vid on the go pro were lookin better. That last one on that first vid coulda been horrible...lol...almost had sum nasty wobbles\r\n

\r\n \r\n You need a friend man... not only would it help with the video part but having someone to pick you bike up off of you and call the amberlamps is priceless at times.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Why are u covering the front brakes when wheeling?\r\n

[zprt00]

\r\n \r\n I don\'t know Most likely a habit from riding the streets - I always have two fingers covering the lever when I cruise around town. I\'ve caught myself actually pulling the front brake as I come up to balance point, but that was mostly when I was still struggling with the foot brake.\r\n

\r\n \r\n You need to braek that habit fast, you\'ll mousetrap and break your wrists flying over the bars!\r\n

\r\nEnd of 1st vid was fucken danger! Lucky that didn\'t go wrong.
\r\nLookin good though man, keen to see the progress. I also caught myself covering the front brake a couple times yesterday, but i think i\'ve stopped that shit now\r\n

[zprt00]

\r\n \r\n Yea I\'ll stop doing that from now on. I highly doubt it\'s going to be hard. I\'ve almost mousetrapped a few times when first learning fb. I would go somewhat fast and bring it up higher and then smack the crap out of the brake . My wrists and shoulders were killing me after so many of those, but thankfully I\'m past that stage and now can use the brake in a rather controlled manner.
\n
\nDidn\'t get to ride yesterday. I need to cut my exhaust/take it off and I\'ll be trying to 12 that bitch next time out when riding with other guys.
\n
\nAlso need to shell out some $$$ for a hitch and a trailer. It really sucks riding over 20 miles back home through the city on a 66t when you\'re exhausted and soaked with sweat after a long sessions. Not to mention when you brake shit - hasn\'t happened yet luckily.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Not bad\r\n

[zprt00]

\r\n \r\n Update. Put some work in yesterday despite it being friggen hot all day. It\'s been exactly a week since I first rode the bike and this was the 4th day at the lot. Let me know what you think.

[zprt00]

\r\n \r\n Day 5 was rather uneventful, so no vid.
\r\n
\r\nDay 6 is a complete game changer. I only recorded so much, but a few hours down the road I was actually clutching right into idle and kept it going for a short distance. Here goes nothing.
