    Rode I-337 today with Chaotic. Although the hills slowed me down quite a bit again, I figured out that my riding position wasn't correct starting off and made adjustments (mainly leaning over the tank more and ducking behind the shield, plus riding with the balls of my feet on the pegs). Toward the end of the ride, I was making better time (Chaotic didn't need to wait for me as long).

    I also started to remember Sam's tips regarding leaning and positioning on the bike and it help me take the corners better. I must have forgotten a lot the few months I was wrenching and wasn't riding.

    You just need to know where the road goes after the jump on that road......... Its fun ass hell but you can get ahead of yourself very easily.......

    To keep your butt planted though, I squeeze with my knees... I am a big guy too, and I have almost launched myself over my bars because of the bike staying fairly planted but me not...

    Best thing, slow down before the hill, otherwise get used to it and speed up, get both wheels off the ground... (really don't do this, jumping hills is dangerous )

    that stretch of 337 was what did my front fork seals in awhile back.

    I LOVE using those hills to get airborne.....such a damn thrill!

    If you really love your motorcycle, let it go. If it comes back, you've highsided.
