Decided today to go down to the local training carpark and practice some emergency braking, slow speed u-turns and pillioning the boy on the back of my bike.
That done, headed over to the Pahatanui inlet to practice corners, sliding half a butt cheek off the seat and keeping the weight off my hands etc. Having fun, pretending to be a good girl when seeing Mr. Plod etc.
Heading home, come to the Newlands off ramp from Porirua side and decide to practice my cornering one last time on one of my favorite corners. Half way round I feel my foot being bashed about and the bike lurch slightly! "WTF!!!, Oh, I've just done my first peg scraping maneuver!!" Remembered to complete corner, merge with traffic, proceed to start cracking up and pull over to tell the other half what I just did! Got home and inspected the flat spot on my hero knob. Sweet!!! Bring on tomorrow!!![]()
(Gotta learn to go faster in order to be able to keep up when Mr Man gets his GSXR!)
