Yeah, if you're not used to it, you have to be careful. I spent 20 of my 28 years on motors. My Camel Bak was the key factor. I was the only one that never came down with kidney stones.

'Awesome' is the roar of 20 ft breakers from the southern ocean...not when the store clerk hands you your change.

Were people really taught to cover their brake with four fingers? One finger I get, and always do....but four? CW once told me I would not like the MSF instructor class because they discourage covering the brake. I couldn't imagine riding without my index finger on the front brake, so I suspect he's right about what I would think of the class.
How do you wheelie with four fingers off the right hand grip? I'd need a much more powerful bike.

Happened to come across this.... James Dean and his girlfriend. This was about one year before his crash. I didn't know this until recently, he only owned his 550 spider for one week before his death.
