This was Mirs first road trip that us gals planned for along time. She just bought this bike a week before. Uprgrade from a 250 to a 600.
We hit the parking lot fairly early in the morning and when we first got there her U-TURN were about the size of the parking lot. It sure didnt' take long using the 3 tecniques of RIDE LIKE A PRO... Head & Eyes, Friction zone, and back brake.
We started of on the slow cone weave and u-turns, and I wouldn't let her go past that untill she was feelin comfy. It didn't take long that is for sure. I could see we had a natural on hand.
She got on all the excercises and once she figured out the butt dance, that was it!!! A lean machine. The first time she scraped a peg, she almost went flying. Then a scream came out of her mouth,,.. Was that a peg??? did I scrape??? Oh ya baby, that was scraping!!! Once she realized she was boss of the hoss as Motorman told her later... She was scraping constantly in the off set cone weave..
The smile kept growing and growing.
Ram and I were having an absolute blast watching and listening to her.
later on in the evening, Robocop came by and gave us intructions and advice. He was totally impressed with Mir.
This girl could not get enought!! I could not believe how much she accomplished in a very short time.
We took a break and a nice ride to Sayward for lunch.
In the morning before she left she decided she wanted to hit the parking lot again... Click on this.....Mir on OFFSET
Now she has gone back to Victoria to help create the RLAPING there. she is looking for her own parking lot. Motorman told her she was Rodeo Material.
How cool is that????
Not afraid to lean that machine!!
She is all happy with a job well done and sneaking in a couple extra hours before heading home. It was such a pleasure helping and watching her scrape and smile and go home feeling like she was a better rider.
