Spyders on the Dragon (Killboy pics)

[spyderbirds]

Friday the 14th they got us going both up and down between 3:30 and 5PM

I often bank a turn, BUT only if I can clearly see the oncoming traffic. If someone looked at a single picture they could not make a determination of how safe i ride.

Just sayin....

Wife and I were there around 9:30ish... Candy blue GS/white jacket and the Magnesium STS/black jacket. Both with the Cueball helmets :thumbup:

I love looking at the suspensions in some of the photos... all the 2013's you can see the wheels stay upright, the older models the tires lean outward, reducing contact patch significantly... except those with BajaRon's swaybar (and possibly other suspension modifications) which corner much more flat.

That said, I noticed my STS struggling with my ... top heavy load pps:

There were other photographers there too...

I think us129 and 129slayer had more corners covered than killboy did, at least on Friday.

Here is my 2013 RT with Elka Shocks and Baharons Bar installed. It is planted to the asphalt hard. Go back and forth with the pictures and you can see it is flat against the road. And you can see the suspension doing its job very well. I made the next post with the pictures...

And like I said in a previous post... I cross over the centerline whenever I can see its safe. Sometimes If the road is clear and I have good vision of the road ill run the center to give me even camber and also to give me a extra millisecond to react to something jumping out like a deer. Here is a couple of picture where I cut through a turn and the next pic im back in my lane.

Sent from my Galaxy S3. I may have made a spelling error or may have some grammer issues. My fingers are way to big to type on this tiny screen!

I was there Friday also. Moonshine photo has my best photos. I also noticed how the tires seem to hug the road more on 2013's. My bike performed like a champ. I couldn't have asked for a smoother, easier handling machine.
