This one shows it a little better, but still not the full incline

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

Chevyman63 · 12-21-2008, 10:58 AM

Awesome pics!

I'll be there...someday.

I appreciate that Jim, but I'm hoping to bring my own seat, if you know what I mean.

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
