:) Some of you may know of this great way to get a thrill & ya lean on, some never done it. Find you a 4 leaf, hell, an 8 leaf Clover exit/on ramp if you can and own that sh!t.

My fave back road is about 30 mins away so when I found this 2 miles from my house, I've suited up and spend hrs out there dragging knees lol. Watch this vid, like and share it too. GoPro or go home !!

Lol. :D

I remember about 20 yrs ago I took an engineering consulting contract in Newport News, VA and did a temp move from Atlanta (rented apt).
Had been there a few weeks and met some local riders. And one day one of them called me and invited me out to go cloverleafin'. After they explained it to me I was like WTF? Are you people serious???,
Spent a couple hours with them running the cloverleaf at Oyster Point/I-64. Was the most bizarre afternoon I think I've ever spent on a motorcycle, lol

There just aren't any twisties around in tidewater area, VA and it's a couple hundred miles to the mountains. So I guess the local guys had to improvise.
 
I recently found a awesome area where you can really practice without a traffic. Invited few friends to come out and to help out/work on their leaning.

Its a school Bus parking lot (3 lanes). School is out so no one is there. Clean, big and safe.

Exactly, and this is close to my place so...I just go out there and give ppl a show lol. Sunday I spent 2.5 hrs out there, yesterday I did and hr, almost 30 miles racked up doing it haha.

Now I need to find something for the left side of my tire.

Funny thing is, im more comfy on my lefts, so this is a great way for me to work on my right 'hang off" and smooth throttle technique ;-).

This is near my home in GA and I never knew! I was working in Louisiana and was wishing for something like this...:rolleyes:

I see you are in Charleston SC. What a great city. I went to school there.

Its aight, lol...I love being be the water so..yeah.

Coming from the mid west where I had amazing back roads, its tough getting my thrills on out here.

I often scan the map for new roads and just go ride em tho ;-)...now I need to find an empty school bus parking lot haha...or an abandoned airport OMG, how amazing would that be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
On-ramp surfing is what I call it. Here in flat-as-pancake FL that is almost the only type of cornering you can get. As you said, the only problem is trying to find some good lefts to get even wear on your knee sliders and tires.

Here's one on my old 1125R at night with sparky knee pucks - fun!

Kneedragging at night with Buell 1125R - YouTube
 
met some peeps from FL up in the mountains (dragon). they sid they alredy have withdrawl syptoms when they see the flat lands, leaving the mountains.

their word is: "use every ramp"

lol

How did you get a cam under the bike? :confused:
 
Up near Buford.

Only bad thing is that its on high traffic area so LEOs drives by. One LEO stopped and looked at us but left. I dont think I will be that lucky next time?
 
i am always roaming google maps for empty parking lots.jsut for some evening fun... found nothing as adequate as yours yet.

@ DUCENZO, next time we head down to Charleston, i hit you up!
 
I live in Summerville/Charleston. What other roads do you ride around here?

Phil I need to make a trip north to the mountains, but yeah if you ever this way hit me up.

Glogan, we definitely need to link up man. Not too many nice lengthy roads around here but Guerins Bridge rd is the best I've found...ever been there?
 
Not sure don't get in mt p much. There are some good roads about 20-30 min from summerville. We will have to get up. 100+ mile sweepers some tight 60-80 and really tight 20-45 mile corners.Used to have to drive all over the place in my last job so I tried to remember all the good roads.
