Not many pics. Just a few from when we stopped at Uvas Reservior – all group pics… Sorry, no action pics…

The route we did was Uvas Rd. to 152 and back down. Fun twistie road with a few nice switchbacks.

Riders:

Ray: Red Suzuki SV1000S – Riding lead.
Jay: Blue 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
Bob: Yellow Honda CBR
Me: Blue Suzuki 2007 SV650S.
Ben: Green 2001 Kawasaki ZX6R – Riding sweeper.

From left to right:

Ben, Ray, Jay, and Bob

The little Ninja looks great hanging with the big boys. Beautiful bikes, it’s cool that you all live close in the same area, Great pics thanks for sharing.

Too bad someone’s ZX-6R has some kind of coffin attached to the back that hides the other bikes…

i wish i coulda seen Ben take some twisties with that thing on the back

From what I could tell from my rear views, Bob and Ben took the twisties fine. Bob was behind me and Ben behind Bob. I wonder if Bob left early because I was scaring the shite out of him…

haha what were you doing to scare him? pushing the pace?

[megaspaz]

Not really. I was keeping the pace. Staying about 1 sec behind Jay. But Bob’s been to THill, so I don’t think pace would spook him. It was actually a brisk mellow pace (above the speed limit, but not a lot above it). Possibly, it could be that I late apex, late brake (engine braking only) before turns, and trail brake a bit into the corners. I don’t go over DYs or foglines and no one’s taken me to the side or anything and discussed my riding style, so either I’m doing fine or people are just being too nice and only care about not binning (them or me). Mebbe I am doing fine and just a bit self conscious… BIIK…
