Fun practice tonight Glad I made a bit of progress before the longarm of the law stepped in. I was getting pretty frustrated for awhile there but then Brian just told me to really gas it off the clutch and after that I was getting it up higher than ever (probably not where I need to be but closer). I was getting to that next step up in the Balance point, as Jessie put it, right away instead of having to double gas it to get it up there. When I was up there I could see how I was close to where the rear brake will really come into play. Wish I would of had a little more time but oh well, there is always next practice.

And, Jessie and Brian, good job on getting closer to rocking O's while Op was working on his Z's.

I also just wanted to thank you guys for letting me roll with you . I learn a lot everytime I hit up a spot and it beats riding alone. Hopefully what I'm learning will transfer over to my F4i when I get it :YEAH

P.S. That cop was super cool, it was weird how he seemed to feel bad that he was booting us and how he suggested other spots we should try. Guess not all cops are d i c k s.

What were you working on???
Sounds like things are coming along good.

Are you going to stunt out a F4 now??

Miltown

I think you'll like an f4i better, maybe this weekend il bring the video camera and that will help you to progress a lot.

your getting it pretty quick and I dont cringe when i see you wheelie like i would other people that are learning

Joker

I think I will probably like it a lot more on an F4i too. But, I am determined to get brake control on the DRZ. Just need a couple more practices.

Joker

Was just working on wheelies.

And yes, as soon as I sell the TLR I am going to get an F4i.

Joker

Definite thanks for that comment, I don't want to be one of those people.

babyJOKER

yeah mike u getting higher and higher. id notice that even though i was sleeping on the sideline half of the time last nite lol...
no brewers game tonite we should go to the lot and bring ur fiddy

Joker

I was thinking of going to the South Mke lot right after work and practice until it gets dark. I have to put street tires back on the fiddy unfortunately.

babyJOKER

ok call me when u done working

Miltown

I might be game for a couple of hours

Joker

I'm not suprised . I was going to try to get down there around seven or earlier if possible and then ride until I can't see anymore.

Joker

Another good practice tonight for me! Started out with a barrage of crappy wheelies right off the bat while getting used to not wearing boots and thought oh boy, here we go again. But then I turned up my idle, went out again and by accident I figured out one of the things I was doing wrong. I was starting off with my right leg straight and when I brought it up I was keeping it straight and it was fighting the bike, not allowing it to come up anymore. While I was riding a wheelie I brought my knee towards my chest for no particular reason and wham it came up right to sweet spot. Op was there to back me up that I was rolling them just off idle without the engine working at all. They weren't going too far but I definitely took a huge step in the right direction. This s h i t is sweet, can't wait to go out again.

babyJOKER

yep and it wasnt just once that u hit the BP u were hit it couple times
i was awake for the whole seesion today lol

Joker

That must mean I have it on lock... Yeah right

Joker

but, after I do have standups on lock I only need to learn sitdowns, spreaders, can cans, flamingo's, special k's, podiums, seat standers, circles, high chairs, nac nac's and frogs, then I will be set.

Miltown

good shiit, might go out tonight, and then sunday

Joker

Cool, let me know. Hopefully weather.com is wrong about tonights weather.

babyJOKER

ATown1K

Sucks I'm not down there to ride anymore.

Joker
