It depends where you ride. I would recommend riding on roads where is not much traffic like the one in my video. Also riding very early in the morning (at sunrise) is something I would highly recommend.
Hey buddy. Thanks for the comment and the invite. My riding buddy has changing days off therefore we plan our rides on the go. Maybe this Thursday we'll make it to Lee Canyon again. I am 55 years old so we don't ride that crazy fast, therefore I don't know how appealing that would be for you. BTW. I am subscriber 61 😉
Sorry for your crash, I hope you weren't hurt badly. Found this video from your review of the sliders on Cycle Gear. It looks like you just panicked due to the on coming vehicle. Remember if you start going wide, push your bar harder in the direction you want to turn; want to turn left, push the left bar; turn right, push the right bar. Also look where you want to go and your bike will want to go there. This is also true if you look were you don't want to go, your bike will go there as well.
Thanks Steven for the sound advice. Here are two more reasons why I believe I have crashed. 1. I just returned from a trip to Europe (less than 48 hours) so I think jet lag got me and made me lose my concentration. 2. I am a pretty experienced rider (over 100k miles) but no matter the experience when your speed is just too high and the curve is tightening on exit you will run out of road. (I was in 5th gear going close to 70mph). Once again, thanks for your thoughts.
@@WutsParanormal The bike was ok except for the oil filter which got punctured probably by a rock. Replaced the filter and the sliders and got back in the saddle. I made some esthetic upgrades (replaced the cracked turning light, left mirror and some plastic bits that got damaged or scratched) when the bike was due for a valve adjustment. All is good now. 98k miles on it still running strong. Cheers.
