I'm sure I don't have any idea what you're talking about. You led most of that day, didn't you?Thanks for the tips Wayne. I sure hope you can make...it would be fun following the trail of rubber shards behind your bike over hill after hill.
Yep Wayne...it was me leading you.I'm sure I don't have any idea what you're talking about. You led most of that day, didn't you?
"closed course, professional rider" - that image is just some random shot I found on the neenernets...Look at his avitar...then look at mine. You be the judge.
Do you guys have MS S&T? or a gps? If so, I can send the S&T file?Mark,
I'm not sure why my "OLDER BROTHER" had such a good time last year with you guy's but he's bugging me to really try to make it this year. When you get the definite route's picked if your sending out maps please PM me a set.
Thanks in Advanced

I don't think that's Wayne. I think it's jwilly.Mark,
I've ridden a lot of closed courses and have yet to see one with a guard rail. Wayne is fast yet humble...
Hope you can make it geekster. :clapping:Hmm....
We'll see when the time gets closer. I'll probably be a game-time decision.
He had a good time because he rode with MY group not his! We all kept the road under us and went REALLY fast!Mark,

It's not the back to back curves that are the problem. It's all the blind ones at the tops of rises! A friggin boat load of then in SE Ohio. what a rush!My wife is actually considering wanting to do this on her FZ6R. Is there anyone attending that plans to ride at less than Wayne-speed? This would be her first experience with twisty roads, and my second, so we would be taking it easy. Not Harley parade slow, though. She does like to go through corners fast, but she'll need to slow it down a bit to get used to back-to-back curves (we only get our curves one at a time in Michigan, and very rarely).
Those roads were a blast. The real trip is that there are no references like trees or power poles or anything at a lot of them. 555 was just one of many that put the adrenal glands in overdrive!Yeah; I learned really quick to slow down every time I'm about to crest a hill. OH-555 was my introduction to curvy/hilly roads.
If I crest a hill, then can see that the next 2 hills are in a straight line, then I like to roll on the throttle and let the front wheel float up off the road over the next hill. It really surprised me the first time my front wheel floated up in 3rd gear over a hill (not even full throttle).
Come on down, bring the wife...you'll have a blast. In my opinion, there a better roads on Marks route than 555My wife is actually considering wanting to do this on her FZ6R.

I think everybody has their own favorites...and for different reasons. Me, I like 78...I also like 26, 260 and 556. For me, 555 puts me on edge...I feel like I've fought a battle by the time I've gotten though 555. There's no flow...just as you get comfy...it GETS ya.Come on down, bring the wife...you'll have a blast.

I have some wierd twisted affection for 555. It is definitely one of my top 5 favorite roads at this point. Roads like the Cherohala or NC28 let you get into a rhythm. 555 will bite you, and bite hard the instant you think you've got it figured out. I think it's the true randomness the I like.I think everybody has their own favorites...and for different reasons. Me, I like 78...I also like 26, 260 and 556.
