The sun finally poked out this afternoon. I was able to find time to fire up the Beast and take a ride. It was nice. Went to the middle school and practiced my turns, stops, starts, u turns, hard over turns, etc. Each time I ride and do the little practice sessions I feel better. I am starting to believe in the Beast. We are beginning to understand each other. I know I am still at it's mercy if something should go wrong.

But I ride, I keep riding. Every minute counts, each turn, stop and start is another lesson in the power in the throttle. Doing what you feel is unnatural and pushing out when you turn, pushing against the direction you are turning is so very abnormal. The more I do it though, the more natural it is. The trick is to not think or look into the turn, just to feel. Be natural, power and inertia in a turn. Such an amazing process, each and every time.
