Canyon cruise with a 2005 GSXR1000!! **VIDEO**

jbsblownc5 · 07-12-2005, 01:24 AM

I went out this past weekend for a nice easy run in the canyons...

I came accross this dude on a new GSXR1000. He was a very good rider, and we shot a bunch of video! Here is a teaser of some of the less radical stuff. Take my word for it, it's a lot faster then it looks! I was winding out forth and hitting fifth on some spots.

Nice video, I always enjoy when you post them. Saw the guy shoulder check a couple of times to see if you were still with him. Good stuff .

BTW , what kind of tires are you running on with your setup ?

Looks like the guy decided to pick up the pace towards the middle. He is riding smoother and getting his knee closer to the ground....maybe he thought you were going to pass him...lol. Nice video.

Awesome video! Being a sportbike rider and a Corvette lover, I was in heaven...

Try Starved Rock… oops I didn’t say that.

JB, cool vid as always. It looked the biker wasn’t expecting you to still be there. I liked the advertising at the end.

Looking for some Nitto's also, but am being told they are back ordered to the factory !

Looking for 305's , but now I have to wait a couple of months .

I have seen comments about R1 and R2's whats the diff ?

Awesome video buddy!! So - what do you think about that bike now? She's pretty strong, eh? That rider looked like he knew his stuff - pretty ballsy putting the knee down for the corners when you really don't know the conditions of the road ahead. Nice driving as usual from you!

I may be moving to Cali in the next year or two - I've gotta check out some of these sweet roads - is this in the southern end of the state?

IBCAMN · 07-12-2005, 05:43 PM

JB, great video as always. Car sounds great!!! Looks like a lot of fun, wish we had some roads like that around St. Louis. Again, great vid.

Ok who else wants to see a nice little highway pull between Vetterdstr and JB? Just go from a 70 rol or something up to top speed... I bet people woould pay to see that

At some point that may be something JB and I can do.

Thanks for the cool comments guy!!!

I run the 305 Nitto R2s in the back, 285s up front. They are an R compound tire. Maybe I should put my order in now, before I get to low.
