Here at the midway point of summer I have been looking at the progress I have made over last summer and this spring and thought I would love to hear how all of you have made progress in your riding
Here are some of the things that have changed for me:

I feel comfortable at higher RPMs
learning to read the road better to prepare for the blind corner exit and up coming corners (please note I am just getting better at this...no expert here)
cornering smoother , keeping the bike where I want on the road more often than not
in general just feeling more comfortable on my bike ....it disappears under me, that oneness

[Speedy]

I've been trying to keep weight off my hands when my form gets lazy.

Also trying to use the rear of the bike to steer more- especially in slippery conditions.

[Travisty]

I've been trying not to case down every squid and small penis driving a Mustang GT for my own personal enjoyment.....ok what I meant was I was going to work on that next season. 

[Mk_III]

I am more confident when I ride, knowing that what I tell the bike what to do is correct and that the bike can handle way more than what I can tell it. Starting to get more comfortable body steering.

Will report back after going out to 133 & 171 hopefully in near future.

The worst part is your not even entertaining.

And now for something completely different, and actual post.

I was out yesterday hitting a few letters and especially a couple of numbers. The first letter road I hit wasn't that great, but it got me to the first number, and all I can say is holy crap that was alot of turns! Then I rode through a mountain that still had the morning fog. My second letter was my second favorite of the day, aside for having grass covering the white line, it was much fun. Finally my last/second number was better than I could image. I held a pace that was far beyond what I have done. The best part was I was relaxed the whole time. I had two uh-oh moments, but I got through them.

Hopefully I can carry that skill onto other roads. Can't wait to ride out there again.

Do I smell a weekend ride?

[Mk_III]

Taken from the HD forum "My point is that anyone can go fast on bike that forgives your inability to ride and lets you keep going"

I couldn't disagree more. Yeah, I can take an R1, CBR1K, or even my bike and do 140 plus, but that bike aint going to just ride itself.

[Meatpopsicle32]

i like to ride my bike at the speed of smell

[Mk_III]

I did a pretty fun ride from Janesville up to Reedsburg. 78 out of sauk was incredible! I damn near got a knee down on 136 out of rock springs on a very nice 180 and kept a very nice pace, and was able to double up some corners. this is getting fun.
