Default Lock & Lean Training & Competition this week

The Lock & Lean event is being held this weekend in Loves Park, IL (basically Rockford).

Is anyone else from HDForums going to be there? As either a competitor or a spectator?

Hey Stro,


Not as a competitor, but I'll do some watching.


Not sure, but I think Ben is planning on bringing some of the competitors over to the Rivets baseball game on Sat night also, it benefits the Greg Lindmark Foundation. I'll be there with some friends.

He is. I'm trying to talk my wife into going to the game but she's being stubborn. Come say hi when you see me! I'll be on the white "Master Your Motorcycle" Electraglide!

I like how you leave the blind up so the 'horse' can see out. LOL! Post videos if you get a chance. I'm trying to get my schedule in line with the one at Master Your Motorcycle so I can get some education.

Have Fun!
Mike

Proper form is eyes up and looking at back at the horizon where you will be turning..and no gloves?

That's Ben Wolfe. He's the owner and lead instructor of Lock & Lean, and he's REALLY good. Like...top tier good. My guess is that he didn't go down
