With special guest, Mosmak, moderator of Honda Sportbike Network, there was a meeting of the minds with gntbldr and myself........and we went for a ride!

The ride was awesome, Jim is faster than shit on that KLR650, I will let him tell about the bug that hit my shoulder/his point blank wheelie skills.

slow motion vid of the crash.

Talked to Mark (Mosmak) today, he is doing fine both physically and mentally about it.

Cool pics bro. My stupid video player shit isn't working on my home computer. I'll go into work a bit early to check out the vid. Can't wait to see how the damage went down. Hope your bud feels better.



Glad you cheese-heads finally got to ride together :lol:

We had a blast. There will be many more rides in the future. I will be putting together a much larger video in a few days with many more highlights too.

We were laughing so hard at the chinese restaurant that I thought all of us were gonna pass rice through our noses. It was just a riot!

Hey gnt! Post up your pics!

i saw the video, but you cant really tell what made him go down except for him either scraping peg or he rolled the tire, am i correct or did he hit gravel or somethin'

ok, my first post was pre slo mo, this one is post slo mo, you see the front tire give, but also when he enters the curve he squeezes the brakes and then in the curve he rolls off the throttle and then back on, you can tell by the way his headlights moved, that is not good. sorry to see him go down, hope he is better, one mo thing, did he not have frame sliders on it for a reason? i dont have none on mines, so i guess i better start ordering huh?

watch it again, the braking and such was all after he was already spinning it up. He spun up, then dragged peg, then the bike was levered up and spun.

I took my sliders off. Too many people with broken water joints from them. I will take my chances without. (The no cut style)

HAHAHA. I didn't even see this thread until After I posted mine up! hahaha. I'll fix that though.

ok, now here's my post but put it into context please, because I don't feel like retyping or editing the thing since I'm at work right now.

Excellent ride. I met up with resus and his friend at 1 at the local Honda shop.
My new Shoei was in so I picked that up and shoved my ol beatup Arai in the crate on the back of my bike and then we went Riding!
I was pretty much near redline allll day long.
I didn't get many pictures but resus did and he also got some video too.
Time to give out props.
Resus is a Great guy and also a Great rider. Type of guy you can ride all out with.

here's some pics of our bikes at our first pit stop:

I have some other pics but they didn't turn out too good.

We rode for about 5 or 6 hrs. even stopped for china buffet which Jim treated Mark and I too.
Thanks again J! :wink:

here's a shitty pic at our last stop of the day. (or should I say second to last)
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid183/p2a4e610ff775a778356673b487cab4a8/f2b6b3f1.jpg

I have to say the second to last because after we left there we were headed to resus' place but during a banked left hander Mark adjusted his line mid apex and lowsided. it was "just one of those things" type of lowsides that has happened to the best of us.
(y'all remember when the giant boulder got taken down by an 1/8" pebble? yup, been there done that)

hopefully Jim gets them vids up. I know I'd Love to have them on my hard drive at home, and at work, and on my protable creative jukebox HD, and and... hahaha

He has a lot of great rodes on vid and some funny stuff too.

After we got Mark back on the road (broken left peg, clutch lever, bent shifter, fractured tail section and rashed plastics, oh! Mark, hehe, He got a rasberry on the left knee and a not so harsh lesson learned . :) )
we went to Jim's and watched the crash on the vid over and over so Mark could figure out what he did and could have done better. I'll say one thing, it was a lowside, yeah but Mark handled the let down friggen beautifully. You'll all see in the vid that I had front row seat to it. (watch my save I make when the vid comes out)

So after the vid session Mark headed home and Jim and I shot the shit for a couple hours and then I boogied.
Quite the most Excellent ride Jim! Thanks for the invite bro, the decal, the food, the fun, and your hospitality. We definately have to get another stroll in before this season's end.
Next ride I'll take you through Holy Hill area and through the North Kettle Moraines. You'll be tickled pink brother. for sure.

I will let him tell about the bug that hit my shoulder/his point blank wheelie skills.

HAHAHA,
ok, We come out of this stop signed right hander and I felt the urge.
so I pulled in the clutch, gave a good twist of ye ol throttle and took her up and into second right past resus's right side and was in an 11 o'clocker at only a few inches away from him as I passed and drifted to infront of him. As I was right beside him he was going frantic like to get the cam going to get that wheelie on vid. I fuckin laughed my ass off. Just playing around, not fucking around, and after I moved back into position and resus passed me he did a shoo fly shoo wipe on his right shoulder with his left had like he was brushing something off his jacket. Funny Shit! :lol: :lol: :lol:

man, in the highlight vid when it comes out you'll see us going through some twisties doing about 50-60ish on the way there. All the while I was shadowing Jim. Just as I did on the way back up that rode but this time doing speeds in the mid 70's over tar strips in caution 25's. outstanding riding.

DUDE! the first vid isn't working here at work. darnit all.!
guess I'll have to wait till I get home.

resus? is it possible to get the entire vid from you too? so I can play around with that editing software in my free time at my place.

You bet. I will give you both raw and edited video.

Try right click and save on the video, my host does not stream very well. Especially if more than a few are looking at it at the same time.
