May RideSmart Half off Give Away

Post by DarcShadow » Mon Apr 18, 2011 7:48 am

Answer these three questions for a chance to win half off a track day/school with Ride Smart.

This is non transferable so if you win and find out you can't make it let us know asap so that a second winner can be drawn. Drawing will be held 9:00am Wednesday, April. 27th. Ride Smart has four events in May, 2 at MSRC, 1 at TWS and 1 at MSRH.

1) What are you least comfortable with in your riding ability?
2) What do you consider you strongest riding skill?
3) Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

1) What are you least comfortable with in your riding ability?
Vision. Between my short glasses and my helmet, I have a hard time seeing what's ahead of me on my Ninja. I'm probably going to get new glasses for riding. I figured out at ECR that my biggest fears when riding fast have to do with not being able to see and know what's coming up.

2) What do you consider you strongest riding skill?
Idiot avoidance.

3) Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
He and the woodchuck went in on a storage unit. They've got wood, some pickled peppers, and a 3-rail motorcycle trailer in there. :SideSplittingLaughter:

1.) Following birdshooter on the road with cold tires.

2.) Starting the bike. I think I've got that one down pretty good.

3.) His wife got them in the divorce, and has them at their beach house where she sells sea shells down by the sea shore.

That's the beauty of the weighting algorithm, the more often you win, the lower your chances for winning again.

Wait, there's an algorithm? How does that work, do you shrink Kevan's spot on the dart board? :SideSplittingLaughter:

If this drawing was done by throwing a dart at the dart board. Being a dart player, I'd volunteer to throw the dart, and I'd win every time. :-x

Yes, but you're throwing a dart for 50ft away and you're upside down.
