Since April, there has been something I desperately needed to do.
Since June, there was another thing I desperately needed to do.
Today I did both. One four times, the other for miles and miles. I made it around that curve(while staying in the road)that I missed in April and did it on the XB9 that has been taunting me since June and today was my first ride on it.
I think I like the XB(a lot!!)
I still don't like that curve(much)
Rotzaruck!!!

Fantastic! I had to do the same thing.

There is this road. The state of TN calls it HWY 116. Everyone else calls it "Devil's Elbow". It bit me one day.

I NEEDED to run that road. Vern got to do it with me.






He knows why it is spooky! It was cool to have my friends cheering me as I rounded the last corner. : D

Good to exercise those Linda Blairs!

Thanks folks!!
I knew everybody would understand.

American, Yeah I wrecked there, it wasn't the curve, it wasn't the bike, the car or even the train; it was all me!!

Good for you! Slay those demons one at a time. I've done similar for myself.Its a hard ting to fess up that you were the cause of a crash. Learn from it and try again. Glad to hear it. Hold you head up and be proud.

In my best Butthead impersonation...

Huh-huh...you said, "beat off your demons" Huh-huh...

Just kidding around. Congrats. I still havent been back to the curve where I made my M2 double as a stumpgrinder. Ill have to sneak off to conquer it, as the wife STILL gives me sh!t about it.

It must be a great feeling. Congratulations.
