Coot...I think on THIS forum...what's gonna actually be different is...people here get 'pissed' at someone or whatever,but always come back and try to make things right.I don't see that on other forums.People get a woody for ya...they run ya off.Hell...none of it's really personal anyway...I don't know Hub or anyone else here really.Maybe some of these guys here hang out at times...IDK.I'm too far away to hang out with....ANYONE!!!!!!!

"I ride alone ooooooooooohhhhhhhh with nobody else! You know why I ride alone……. Cuz I prefer to be by myself!"
Okay...ya got me there.If I'm not alone during my ride(s)...I am in short order...only takes about three minutes of hitting those curves....seems like nobody around here intends to have some 'cheap thrills'.
Get this...the guy I used to work for...I talked him into getting a bike.He bought a really nice Harley Road King.VERY NICE.We went out for a few rides....I had my 12R then.Hey,I'm kool...no squid stuff.I was following him going through town the LAST ride we had together.He's up ahead.I'm hanging back...doing the speed limit.We both were.Everything's fine.PLENTY of room between us...I don't want him to do anything but focus on his new bike and his riding(he hadn't ridden for God knows how long).Anyway....I'm back there..so's I just crack er a bit,lift the front wheel maybe an inch or so.Never even came close to his bike.
All the sudden,he's wavin like crazy pointin over to the left.WTF?Okay,I'll follow.The only place to turn left is right there at the intersection.So we do when the light turns green.Ya...he rolls in.I roll in.He stops.I stop.Comes stompin over to me...'What the hell are you doin?" he yells.I had NO idea what he's talkin about..so I just sat there with this sheepish look on my face.He goes on..."I aint ridin with you if you're gonna ride like an idiot!"....ummmm..okay....still not gettin what he's referring to.
He goes on...and here's the topper...he yells(mind you,he's right in my face)"what if a squirrel or somethin comes runnin out and I have to stop all the sudden!"
WTF??????...I'm stunned.You know.Really.It's such a shock,I don't know WHAT to say.Or to even think....A WHAT?...a friggin squirrel?You mean to say you're gonna create a wreck scenario because you think hittin a squirrel is make ya crash somehow?With your 900 lb steel machine?WTF..yer pissed at me for what again?(this is what I'm thinkin now....along with starting to get really pissed myself.)...I collected my thoughts just then.I said.."okay..I'll see ya!'..that was that...never rode with Mr.Make The Rules again.Happily.Thankfully.If this yahoo thinks that hittin a squirrel is somehow a dangerous thing and something to avoid at any cost,even if it means crashing into or causing a rear ender on a bike...fine...Not my kind of rider to be with!Funny as shit once I got cooled down and thought about WHAT he was saying and thinking. A friggin squirrel!Against an 800+ lb bike!FUC$!!!!!LOLOLOLO!And he's piloting this brute beast out there?SHEESH!

@ Rook just from the sound of the engine I can tell you're opening too slowly, the front has time to catch up to the rear. Turtle was right.you can accelerate like u did in the vid roll it back a little and when u feel the suspension wanting to settle wack it real hard and violent probably just 1/4 of what for starters.
