Wednesday morning, I got to the parking lot for another half hour before work. The parking lot is always empty, and cool in the morning. Feeling refreshed, I always seem to do better.
I went again, after work at 5:15, things are feeling better each time. My body feels like I am getting a darn good work out that is for sure. Whipping around in the intersection you can really feel it.
Ram, good ol faithful who can't even ride yet because his ankle still hurts came out to egg me on and give me support.
He told me, I am about 1/2 inch from scrapping my floor boards.. That i am cutting my figure 8 down at least a good foot and 1/2. I am feeling it, like I am almost smiling doing it.. Doing the dip dance, I call it!! Once you get the throttle in the right position with the friction zone, smooth sailing. That road queen knows where she is going.
Later a couple showed up, that I knew at the other end of the parking lot. He was teaching his wife how to ride. I thought at first they were coming over to say hello, but didin't so I continued on to the slow cone weave. I am always nervous when I have an audience of any kind, and I wasn't feeling really comfortable. So, what happens.....yup, Drop it!! The only good thing is I picked it up in 3 seconds not 4...lol I don't even say those nasty words any more, just pick it up, get on, and git er done!
Ram got a chuckle out of that, says you dont even flinch when the bike goes down any more.. Hey, it is all a part of the learning. One day... one day....it will stop happening.
I practised for a couple hours, too pooped to pop and went home to bed. Crashed before dark!!
