Was hauling butt around some twisties up in the Ozark Mountains a couple weeks ago. I had cruised this route at least 5 or 6 times over the last couple years.
Anyway, I had always heard about how slick that center stripe is, and on this one particular turn, almost 180deg, I entered too fast and went wide. I scooted to the side to hang almost all of my 200 lbs body mass off the seat, to try and stay in my lane, I unintentiallly crossed the line. As I crossed it, the ass end almost got away from me.
I was thinking at 200mph, while the bike was nearing 80mph on a 25mph turn. Didn't want to brake and high side, all I could do at the time was hang my ass off the seat and stay on the throttle. Got my first scrapes on my Daytona boots. Also shit in my pants for first time since I was about 3yrs old. Oooooweee! Scary.
I did have to pull over and take a break after that scare. The guys I was riding with told me they thought they were going to have to call an abulance. When they asked my how I managed to hang on to it, I said cooly, it's a Ducati man!
Then I bowed to the gods
for not putting a truck in the other lane.

This old man is going to slow down a bit. Anyway, just thought I'd share that with you meat heads!
