I'd have been more worried about those driveways. "Oh look, a miniv..."(GSXcite @ Sep. 18 2006,17:34) You went airborne on that hill at 100 mph approaching a 30 mph corner. Did you check the chicken strips in your shorts after that? LOL
Nonetheless, I've done stupid shid too, so I can't talk...
No the picture is looking back on the hill. I came out of the 30 mph corner and the road straightens out and then you hit the hill. I am guessing that you have 100 yards of straight road before the hill. If I had been in that picture, I would have been coming towards the camera. Make sense?(GSXcite @ Sep. 18 2006,17:34) You went airborne on that hill at 100 mph approaching a 30 mph corner. Did you check the chicken strips in your shorts after that? LOL
Shanling, I also enjoyed your post.
There's a place on route 926 in PA that has a quick rise but a far steeper drop and the road towards the bottom is carved by the bottoming of many cagers going too fast. At a steady 60 MPH, you become completely weightless as you come over the peak and it's really a hoot!
However, the one day, I didn't realize I was doing about 70ish MPH and that gives both tires air time, and while I use to enjoy that as a fearless invincible of my youth, I now kind of cringe when both wheels are off the ground, especially on something as heavy as my Hayabusa. Doing it on my old 350 Enduro was one thing; doing on this heavy street bike is another story.
It wasn't exactly major airtime, but it's one of those hills that exponentially yields airtime due to its sharp drop. I landed closer to the bottom, but was fortunately still on the very last portion of the down slope, which cushioned the landing. Whew!!!
Note to self: No faster than 60 MPH for this hill or change of underwear may need deployment.
