breakfast, a bunny, and a bit more range

I woke up at five, considered showering, eschewed cleanliness, and headed down the road to Denny's for a big breakfast to start the day. Afterwards, I chatted with Russ for a while and, while doing so, was visited by someone's stray pet bunny. As you can see from the picture, I still didn't know how to park a motorcycle properly.

Having allowed morning traffic to muster while talking overly long on the telephone, I took neighborhood streets back to my parking lot and rushed through the remaining low speed off-road exercises, impatient for practice involving more than my makeshift soda bottle cones.

• 8. Countersteering


• 9. Putting It All Together


• 10. Basic Skills Review

From here forward, I'm paring down the partially filled plastic bottles to just their brightly colored caps so that I can have cones to set up range exercise reviews wherever I find a suitable parking lot.
