Featured Lesson Learned

Yesterday, we finally got a break from the heat and rain, so I headed up to Suches, Georgia, up in the mountains. There is a facility there called TWO, (Two Wheels Only) a full service resort for motorcyclists. After a Coke, and some in-depth BSing with other riders, a most important facet of the experience, I headed home. I was thinking about the so-called "Lean Indicators " Triumph puts on their bikes, which I scraped several times that day, and thinking what a stupid thing they were. After all, I've been riding for 60 years, and I know how to handle the twisties. As I came into a really tight right hand sweep, I was going too fast, and began to feel the pull. A truck was coming from the opposite direction, close to the center line, and I almost panicked! Thank GOD, I was able to brake, gear down, and almost s--- myself!!!!!

There is a reason they put lean indicators on Triumphs........Lesson learned, or reminded thereof. 60 years experience doesn't mean squat when riding beyond one's skill level.......The Mad Mongoose.....OUT!

 

Armando, I think you'd agree that it's a scary feeling when you realize you've ridden beyond your ability. I got off easy this time....The Mad Mongoose.....OUT!

 

It's possible to do the same thing wrong for 60 years.....I rode beyond my ability, and was reminded of the laws of nature. I will be getting training wheels next year! The Mad Mongoose.....OUT!

 

I've never been to that grocery. What is the draw?
