I took a Jason Pridmore school at Chuckwalla in Desert Center, CA this Sat and he gave rides 2-up for 2 laps (he has a special tank with handles on it). I took his same class 4 years ago and the did the same thing at Streets of Willow. Until you've ridden with a AMA pro racer (who knows how to ride with 2 people) you haven't lived. It seriously felt like we were sliding in every corner. I told him I took his class 4 years ago, so he wasn't holding back. Told me he was running aboiut 50% of his potential. Some other dude came back and said he was shaking...LOL..and Pridmore said he was only riding at 20%...hahaha. We were passing people in the Advanced group like they were standing still. It's amazing how smooth and controlled every downshift, upshift, tip in and throttle control was in comparison. It was also amazing how fast we got to each corner and how much brake was using well into the corner. I'm sure this pic wasn't the best lean angle. There were some corners I was like...don't think were gonna make it here, but pulled it off. He said the suspension was just working in a different range and he didn't drift, though the rear end got loose a bunch of times. I was hella impressed to say the least.
Oh yeah we were riding on STREET TIRES...DQs IIRC.
