Gixxer down at Mud Corner


See how it all started at Tail of the Dragon.com
A little too much speed, and the pegs/pipe started dragging, lifting the front tire. Take it easy on the guy, he agreed to let us show his photos, and knows he needs better riding pants. ;)

Darryl, You were pretty easy on the guy. Are you mellowing in your middle years?

Ah we let a lot more slide than most realize. Nearly everyone hugs the yellow at the exit of Mud Corner and Picnic Tables going southbound, two of our favorite shooting spots. It's the ones that dive into the wrong lane right from the corner entrance that drive us crazy.

At least when a person owns up to their screw up, like this guy did, they're on the right track for recovery. I've got a little more sympathy for those folks.

It's ridiculous how some will search for excuses or even blame others for their own mistakes.
