Anyhow, Kerri, I think next time I'm gonna try 1st gear on those u turns. I stayed in 2nd because I couldn't believe that I would need to go down to first on the street! Damn that road is tight! I think I'm gonna hit it again later this week, lol. |
The first few times I had it 2nd and there was not enough power/ torque coming out of the turn. I know I have to throw it into 1st and keep it at the high end of the RMPs to keep the torque up and accelerate through the corner. This last time, when I come out the 1st curve and stepped on, just before I shifted to 2nd, I had the tires churp. That what I think made the deer left his head from gracing. I can't believe Rachel did not feel sick. Now that I think about it, I do not know she held on. With a bigger group it is hard to run through it like we did. I usually drive it when I am alone faster, 100% of my focus is on the road and car, and I do not have to worry about others in the group.
What makes this road a good road to drive is that is was paved about 1 year ago, so it is smooth and does not have the oils coming up like a freshly paved road.
Is it a fun technical road to drive, for which on Sunday I rode the bike down it. Thank goodness the MDR was not driving up it at the same we descending it. There were about 10 of us on bikes.
