2nd time taking the ttr out

Still getting used to a bigger bike and brakes that actually work

Bonus: convinced the woman to clean spokes

By the title the riding spot is in an old mine ?

Looks like a good place to poke around on the ttr 

Good tracks and a few  steep bits

It's the only place you'll find hill climbs in florida 

It was a phosphate mine in the early 1900 then later turned into an offroad park 

The go pro I used doesn't show how steep some of the drops are

Some of them drop 30+ft 

This is also where ricky carmichael  trained

I would of posted videos of my first ride but there were a lot of embarrassing stalls and false neutrals no

My old bike was a 30 year old xr80r which engine breaking slowed it down more than its actual brakes it also only weighed 150lbs so I did quite the upgrade 

I'm still getting used to things like holding in clutch when using back brake (drums never locked the tire)

A clutch you actually have to let off slowly 

Not falling when turning slow

And overall just moving the weight of the bike
