For some reason I'm hesitant to keep my throttle loaded. It just the way Harley motor sounds, I'm always afraid that it may blow up or something. LOL Also a reason I do not ride past 3k RPM.

But I need to figure out if I'm comfortable bliping a throttle like Jerry Palladino (Ride like a pro guy) recommends or keep the throttle loaded constantly.
Nice work. I need to get back into practicing in parking lots. I'm a blipper. It helps me know when the clutch is in the sweet spot.

I don't have a tach and I didn't realize how often I was lugging the engine. I've been riding with the power vision connected after swapping cams a couple of weeks ago. I'm trying to retrain my ears and downshift when I fall below 3000.

About 70, took the Sportster out to warm it up for an oil & filter change along with the transmission/primary.

I did 35 miles today. Most of which was slow speed practice. Today I set up a measurement and found my U-Turns are at about 20ft. It would be nice to be at 18ft consistently. We will see...

The Carolina girl did the mowing today as I worked from home. We rolled out a little before 5pm and went to Little Richards BBQ in Yadkinville for dinner. Then we rode a few miles more and really enjoyed the evening.

It was 83 degree in NC today and we did a total of 56 miles!
