Never Forgotten
Well all, it was a great weekend to be at the Gap as Powers and Burns will attest too. It was great seeing you all.
This past weekend was the Yamaha FZ1 rally and I was over for a little mingling with friends.
Saturday morning brought beautiful skies and I was ready for a bit o fun on the hill. I made a few early morning spirited passes really getting into the feeling of time well spent on the bike.
I met a couple of Busa owners from IL, hope you guys had a great time and make it home safe.
We made a few runs together and then went down to 129 Motorcycle Pitstop for some grub. After more lie telling, it was back t the Hill for me and on to the Skyway for them.
Once back at CROT, I ran inot a couple of friends already there for the R1 Rally that starts today. Ned and Eddie are good friends I met many years ago....
We went to Wheelers to get Eddie some grips for his CBR and then back up to the CROT. Eddie is a WERA racer and an Advanced NESBA rider and we decided to make a very spirited run up the Hill late in the afternoon.
Eddie turned on his camera and fell in behind me for the trip up. We were making a great run, very little traffic and perfect conditions.
About 7 miles in on a sweeping up hill left, I entered as I would normally, hung off, knee on the ground, next thing I knew the front wheel was light as it was off the ground.
I pushed down with my knee to keep the bike up-right and plant the front tire. Some how by the grace of God I was able to save a NASTY situation.
After pulling the seat cover out of my rear on the way to the overlook, I spent some time trying to figuer out what had happened. Once atthe overlook, I checked my front peg and no scuffs, so I chalked it up to something in the road causing me to loose the front end, giving the feeling it was in the air.
Back at Fontana Village, I loaded my bike with some help and Chris noticed that I have slide a bit on my Woodcraft cover and lower cowl.
Ahhhhhh!!!! The culprit had been found. I was on stator cover and rear tire for just a millisecond in that corner.
Max lean angle for a Fatt Kidd on a Busa has been found lol.....
