Peg pogo polo plop

No grit nor nor Gravel nor excessive speed nor power, only my learning curve not to go by ear only- scrapping sound in non flat bowl shaped turns which rose up under the peg to lift rear out of traction and spin us around. Two weeks prior I got the parking lot circles down while keeping it scratching all the way around. I broke Trixie's old axle that day, on first attempt to spin tire to get a lift up hi side.

If I had a death wish I would of pulled the trigger decades ago so I'm in surreal amazement every day I'm still here and feeling fine not crippled with brain dementia, Ok at least not so much dementia yet to prevent more of the same.

I have since put on rear sets and will go out and see what they allow in slow speed stunt work. Tires are bald in center now so prime time to finish off the sides. What kind of flash backs you want out of life till the bubble bursts. Don't forget for one instant just because you ain't pressing things, that just getting in a saddle one gives up full control of life changing events.

I must be missing something. Looks like you spun out on the foot peg? Isn't the case the faster you go the more you lean for the same curve? Has it something to do with all that stuff you have on the back? The roads around here are all like that curve and I don't even approach the pegs. When I was younger I used to go up and down Ashby Gap on I29/211 in the Blue Ridge at 50-60 and would go back and again to meet the BMW that was wallowing in my wake still coming up. Never once hit the peg. Unfortunately the crotch-rocket deaths have made the state put speed bumps in the road now, so no one can go up and down at much more than 30. Too much traffic now anyhow.

Yes Trixie pogo'd off the peg - pure and simple- nothing else as the physical cause.

BUT the real cause = I On Purpose held the scrap sound *Only to Show Off* HEY Watch This* and had nothing to do with handling my speed or the sharpness of turn. Shoot I'd done way sharper in the parking lot turns. Do note my momentum only carried one bike length and didn't toss me away from bike at all, I got right up and grabbed bars and rolled in down hill to opposite side of road to inspect it. Then did a video of normal way around it like the Harley guys can do too.

I'm working up to slow-ish stunting fun as the road race stuff is so costly in public or tracks to get my adrenalin hits. But pulling off stunts and recovering road race errors is very similar so actually its the only kind of practice I can do to get ready for what Ms Peel does in spades. I have to lean way way over in the fastest enteries on Peel so when the hi side hits it only goes as far up and over as I need it/want it/aim it too. The parking lot axle snap on throttle blip was my very first attempt to do that on an un-linked C'do and showed me its possible to do on them

In my defense of ego, Trixie pogo 'crash' was not a speeding turn error just an new condition I'd not encountered before Yet also was last bit of fear leaving me to throw Trixie down that far on hi power and just not stay that low beyond the need to do so.

In pure fact no brag on half this radius turns I've taken Peel straight up into em at 55 then trip her out by power to get rear sideways to bleed off that speed/vector, at same time twisting up frame, then cut power an instant so rear grabs, frame sling shots and flings us both back up, saving the low side but at same time pivots in air like Trixie on Center of Gravity to land on smashed down rear patch I can nail torque on to exit like 65 mph. There is no effort to do this on Ms Peel as all loads are exactly like a drag racer or hill climber, all in line with suspension or back and down thru axle into rear patch, all I do is lock down lungs and twist wrist. I have been afraid to go faster partly because its in public blinds
but mainly because if I run out of power curve at apex I'd crash into the bluff face or fly over railings. Anyone and their little sister can load a supercharged engine in bee lines, I want it for rocketry ricochet radii.

That is phase 4 but there's another faster way w/o hesitation of acceleration, I only had Combat power enough to practice on THE Gravel and wet roads -that's really dangerous stupid to do, so looking forward to Mo Power at track days and air ports.

Next week or 3 may have video of Trixie doing that in parking lot safety - slow enough she can take it and no fighter pilot breath control to keep vision bright.
