Hello my fellow CanyonChasers.
Welcome back, once again, to my helmet.
You guys seemed to really enjoy this video last time, so... uh, we're going to do this
again.
Only we're on the 848 this time.
We're just going to turn some laps, with B. Alright we stay wide through the first turn,
in case anyone is coming up behind us.
Then we can kinda' pick up the pace again.
A warmer day than last time.
I think last time it was... well, it was cloudy and cold.
Today it's close to 35-degrees celsius.
That would be 100-degress farenheit.
Blackrock bend!
Increasing radius turn.
I like to tip in a little early.
Come outside....
then take away lean angle and add throttle.
WFO!
Upshift.
A little wheelie.
Back down again.
We're going to head way out here, this is where I want to get the bike turned.
Then accelerate past the apex.
WFO.
A little wheelie.
Now this turn you're on the side of the tire a long time, here.
That's not really the line I wanted to take.
But we want to pass politely.
Since I am an official representative.
Alright, turn ten.
This is turn you don't really want to mess up with because there is a big concrete wall
there.
Wow!
Alright!
Corner exit.
Knee over the rumbles...
Upshift.
Fastest turn on the track.
We kinda' want to drive this out into one big turn.
A little sloppy there, Dave...
Upshift.
Back to Blackrock.
I probably should enter that a little wider, dontcha think?
Knee down.
Increasing radius turn so we actually use a fair bit of maintenence throttle there.
Head way out here to get the bike turned.
We ride by direction.
Here we go!
WFO!
You see that cone over there they set up for us, nicely.
That's my slowest point in my turning.
Knee down.
Accelerate.
And we're always thinking about our 100-points of grip, right?
I'm always wanting to ease into the brakes, as I'm doing now.
Braking, braking, braking.
Maintenance.
Accelerate.
Through the bump.
WFO!
But things are happening slowly and progressively.
Maintenance.
You can hear it.
Over the rumble.
I apexed a little early there which, as you can see, it cost me getting on the throttle.
I had to wait longer before I could get to WFO, because I was greedy getting on the gas.
So, we're going fast but it's all about patience.
Trying to do everything in very linear and progressive way.
Full throttle.
Trail brake to settle the front.
Over the rumble.
I should've grabbed and upshift there.
But I didn't.
There it is.
I'll go in wider this time.
This is not usually the way I do this, but we'll try it.
I feel like i'm on the side of the tire for a long there.
I think that cost me on my exit.
Alright.
Ride by direction.
Get the bike pointed.
Lets go!
There it is!
Adding throttle.
WFO!
Into the Triple-D's.
A little wide there.
Get to my slow point.
Head down.
And out.
This is kind of a throw-away corner.
This corner is way more important than that one.
Get the bike pointed.
Head over the rumbles.
Accelerate out.
Coming up onto some traffic.
I got kinda' sucked tight following him.
My fault.
A better drive out.
See some more slower traffic coming up here.
I did one too many downshifts.
Good exit considering I was in the wrong gear.
That looks like a Hawk GT!
Ride on!
One of my favorite motorcycles of all time.
Wow she's picked up a lot of speed!
Coming up the inside.
Be nice!
The kid on that is really quick on that bike, actually.
Get the bike turned.
Over the rumble...
Adding throttle, WFO and an upshift.
I'll head on over to my slow point.
I want to minimize how l much time I spend on the side of the tire.
Argh.
I kinda' missed it.
Talking makes me make a few more mistakes.
So, don't judge me too harshly.
There we go!
Aww I got greedy with the gas!
Wen't a little wider there than I wanted to.
The camera doesn't let me go full tuck.
Alright, around the bumps.
Head down.
Knee down.
Now this is all, like, yes I'm going way faster but these are the exact same things I'm doing
on the street.
Just at a lower level.
I'm not pushing as close to every apex.
I'm not going WFO out of every corner.
But I still ride by direction.
Getting the motorcycle turned.
Get the motorcycle pointed.
Waiting until I get the bike upright before I go WFO.
Well, as I just said don't go WFO on the street.
Get the bike pointed.
Much better!
Really smooth.
Get the bike turned.
Lets get a tighter apex this time.
Argh.
Still sloppy.
Awww.
Checkered flag.
I was about to see if I could overtake those guys.
Alright.
Hope you enjoyed that.
Probably not my finest session as I was trying to describe everything I was doing.
But I hope you get some ideas there, right?
It's not about rote sequences.
I can't say this enough.
We ride the motorcycle based on direction.
So, thanks for joining me today.
If you liked this video, let me know.
I'll keep making them.
They're kinda' fun for me.
We might even turn around and do some street videos.
Hey!
Guess what!?
C-Group is heading out.
I'm going to go back out again.
