This one shows it a little better, but still not the full incline:lol:The approach from the left, all the weight shifting to the top outside, locking the front, brakes locked on the rear,with a blip of the throttle to get it pointed north and south again. Seeing nothing but sky, and your cheeks sucked to the seat

Good memories, nothing like drinking beer around the campfire and hanging out with motorheads. Can't deny the white knuckles, tough when you have no control of the situation:lol:
