[QUOTE="OrangevaleFJR, post: 321858, member: 548"] Talking about getting back safe, I am proof that you can blow a turn, end up in the dirt, and not drop the FJR. I made it back onto the tar with not having time for the butt pucker moment to stop my heart. Something about heading into a 25 mph turn without noticing the turn coming with an entry speed of 75mph makes for an exciting event. Ride the bike people...it's pretty amazing what the FJR can do. I literally carried this much speed into a tight turn that I simply didn't see coming. My thoughts were elsewhere. In many miles of riding, this was the first time I can say I simply wasn't even thinking about the road. I entered the turn that fast and realized it so late that my turn started after it normally would. The thing that save me on this one was that I was close to center line when I noticed the turn so I had the width of the lane to get the bike leaned over. I really didn't have time to be scared. I just rode the bike as Dcarver has made that my mantra and I thank goodness he did! The reason I didn't crash is that I had not previously requested to become a member of the FJR crash club as required. [/QUOTE]
