[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 182892, member: 3972"] Well that didn't take long. You must have watched it to the end CJ. I got lucky there. I could have lost a lot of skin, as fast as I was going. When I hit the brake, I only hit the rear at first, the road was dropping and my bike kinda bouncing. But, I SHOULD have been able to stop. I aimed at the bank, rather than sliding across the crossroad. The bike hit the bank with both wheels, I think. I wasn't really even scared until it was over. I need to go back to practicing hitting both brakes, every time I brake...so I do it without thinking. That was my 4th time over that road and I got more reckless each time. In the first video I took, I had a few close calls going up. When I stopped at the top I said...I'm going to try to go down without skinning my elbows. lol I walked away without a mark, and barely a mark on my bike either. The leaves weren't there...not nearly as many, the first day. They made it hard to see the bumps and holes and sticks and such. Leaves are also verry slippery to ride on when they're thick. But I still continued to push my luck. This was a good lesson for me. My bike seems to run a little better each time I ride it. 117cc tb stroker kit with their regular race head, Mikuni VM20 carb, 4speed atc70 trans, ct70h manual clutch, and a MCMT Super Stealth pipe. Fun to ride for sure. But, the road is the real star of this vid...not my awesome riding skills :--) or even my bike. I wish the camera did a better job of showing how steep the road is tho. It rises and falls quick and steep. Pretty much every other road in that area is awesome too. Lots and lots to explore with a fast lilHonda. [/QUOTE]
