noone is supposed to know that
They have CURVES in Illinois, benders is what they do on Sat. night in the cornfields!
I guess I am like the rest.....I improved on my turns!!!!!
That includes the ones from a stop :biggrin: I used to make my right turns and end up in the lane next to where I was heading :lol: I'm happy to report, I can turn sharp and stay in my own lane now!!!!

Cheri, if anyone improved on their riding this year, it would be you. You went from being a passenger to riding TWO new bikes! And you take pics while driving. You have my vote.

Awww...thank you Tina!!!! I don't even think of myself as doing anything that great...:redface: Thank you!!!!!

Oh, and Tina....you have my vote for having the MOST GUTS!!!!!
I am still in awe of you....a serious accident that you can't even remember, yet you are SO excited about getting your bike put back together so you just RIDE, RIDE, RIDE again!!!!!!! :cool:
I live by my tag line, Cheri. Actually, I'm just too stubborn to quit. I want to some days, just ask Darrell.

Thank you!!! I would be honored to ride with you too...that is if I could keep up with you!!!! :lol:
I am impressed with all of you. Cheri, you just started and are taking looooong rides. Ang, you are pretty new to this, too and you are picking up speed and taking fairly long jaunts. Tina, my goodness, you were in an accident and are jumping back on. Deamon is learing to race. Me, I'm just an old man, riding slow, enjoying the scenery.
i wouldn't say "race"....unless someone wants to buy me a track bike:lol: :cool:

Its great reading how everyone has improved this year. Congratulations to everyone!

I havn't been riding that long so I would have to say I think I improved on my turns. I use to have to really think them through and now they seem to just come naturally. This season compared to last I seem to be much more relaxed and things are coming more natural instead of having to think about it. If that makes sense.

That's so great to hear! And yes, your words make sense. ;)

That is what I need to practice on the most. My turns are getting better with time though. I don't always stop too gracefully either. But I still remember being nervous going out. One time I wanted to quit and sell my bike. Glad hubby talked me out of it.

the more you ride the better it will feel that is for sure and if you have some really great riders that know how to ride and give you pointers that helps for sure i have a bunch of friends that have tought me a ton i hope to be out on the track maybe next year told hubby he could do it first so if i do not go out this year will the following ;) ..

one of the many great things i have learned is allways relax and if you feel your self tensing up sounds corney but flap your arms like a chicken to losen your self up :)
