Default Bear Mountain video from Sunday..

heard the videos of all the twistie sections didn't come out. This was early in the AM before we weeded out about 20 bikes. Then we hit the twisties and the pace picked up.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hg2LqOPl3E">FYI..I'm not the camera bike</a></li></ul>

Default lol...

This was first thing when we took off and had 20+ bikes. The person leading at that point set more of a cruising pace. I personally only knew one person who I rode up there with. And not knowing the others ability and comfortability I didn't want to pass others in the corners. I spent more time on the brakes to not push people through the corners. Once we got down to a 10 bike pack and switched leader we hammered down. I got behind the leader and let everyone else fight it out behind me. Hopefully this weekend we can get a higher quality video.

I got a funny NYS police story for you.

Default there was a lot of people lacking proper form & confidence..

Saw one guy get spooked from being passed ina corner and hit the brakes which stood up the bike. He ran off the road onto the grass. Luckily, he stayed up. This weekend will be a small group of track day guys
