Welcome!

Hi Yermo,Thoroughly enjoyig what I've read so far, so keep up the great work. 

Happy to be here!

And hello to Colin Wells, who just joined.

 

Found the blog/forum after reading this amazing article that was reposted by Revzilla on Facebook.

Thank you so much! We all had an incredible time at the Gap and can't wait to go back. What do you ride?

That was the article I first saw as well - I thought it was a truly amazing piece, especially where it started dealing with the man-machine interface and the psychology of riding.  Really, really good. 

I really enjoyed your Deal's Gap article, and it gave me a lot to think about regarding my own riding, and what holds me back from improving.

I'm riding my first bike, a vintage cruiser. 1985 vt750c Just got my full motorcycle licence, (we have a 5 year graduated licence program in Ontario for riding). So love the sport, doing lots of reading to make myself a better rider, and yours is really outstanding.

Thank you all so much for the kind words.
I love Canada for so many reasons. I wish we had a similar graduated system here in the States. I suspect if we did our injury/fatality rates would be much lower. 

I know quite a few people who are just getting into riding. I try to be helpful so I put together my thoughts on what riders should think about. Have you heard about Total Control or the Twist of the Wrist books?

 
I should do an editing pass through that article again.

Yeah, we have a bit of a graduated system here in Victoria (Australia) as well, and while it isn't perfect it isn't too bad.  :)I'm in the relatively new to riding camp as well (14 months) and riding a Kawasaki Ninja 650L (the power restricted version that learners can legally ride here).I'll take a look through the resources, and yes, I'd also recommend both Total Control and Twist of the Wrist II.  Plenty I still need to be working on...  :)

I will definitely check out the books. found the video for Twist of the wrist II already. wow!

Very cool. Welcome to our little site. Soon I'll have the new features ready for release that I've been working on and things should get more interesting around here.

And a warm welcome to Dan Grove,  

Thanks!  I was down at the Dragon for the National SV Rally last week.  Your ride report really resonated with a lot of us.  I know my own riding was improved as a result.

oh wow. That's fantastic. Thank you for letting me know!

I'm guessing SV650, right? I've been toying with the idea more and more of picking one up as a trainer/loaner/track bike ... 

I'm heading back down to the Gap on Thursday.

Yup - 07 SVS.  Fantastic bike - especially for that area.  The 500+ miles each way not so much.

Enjoy your trip down - very jealous.
