good **** on the 0's vetter............ my riding is still in recession, so i'm gonna take a break for a few days, for some reason, i am more consistant with ss 0's than FIB 0's, which is odd in my eyes...........

Re: I know its cold but is anyone riding this weekend?
i like it. it got blasted 6 times yesterday. working perfect. and only gonna get better. sorry i worked in a metal fab shop for 2 years...so its not like its some half assed ****. only reason its not done is because the guys shop im doing it at is backed up with orders so its put on hold.
SS 0's are coming along good. how are you coming on them paul? i counter steer when i come into them and can get one full one around 2/5 of the time. i try and put my body weight "outside" the circle and keep my weight on the inside foot at all times. working good i just gotta get used to it i think. i think i start to high side cause i lean into the circle.

usualy when i highside its because i shift my weight to my outside foot.

Re: I know its cold but is anyone riding this weekend?
when i 1st learned merk steps i would just scrape a seat stander and then jump off the back and use my HB to get it off the bar...after u get used to that, u should be able to just get the tail close and jump off. maybe turn your idle down to about 3000 or less...you'll have to play w/ the idle to see what u like the best though.

i can do them no problem... from sitdown or fron SS (no idle so i have more EB and everything).... just getting back on my HB sucks, and most the time i end up back on the bar (the HB wont get me off the bar)

i know im not too short (im 6') but i feel like im too short almost or something... the HB working better would help i think, but as long as i dont get it wayyy back past 12 i can get it VERRY RARELY, but have gotten it once or 2xs

ya, i use my clutch to get them off the bar....just feather the clutch a little as you are working the brake and they come down easily.
key for me was learning to clutch on index finger and brake with middle finger, at the same time. if you can get that down it makes **** 10x easier.
