Title: The Zone
Post by: AfroStar on June 01, 2009, 07:03:47 AM
Saturday in New England,

I woke up late in the morning.  Going to take my Sweet Bike out for a ride to NH.  wrote my directions on paper (don't have or believe in GPS), just follow my instinct, wish Ducati built a compass into the odometer.  Started the bike, man, I love that sound. Destination BCM Motorsport, on the way up, I slabbed it in the beginning, the hit the smaller roads.  Road signs can be confusing or not very functional. I got a little lost, but Hey, I didn't mind, I beautiful day out, just me, my bike and the Road.  Rt.107, a suggestion from a member worked out great.. I ended up behind slow moving Cagers, and my concerns for Pigs  [leo] held me back, and I ended up 1 hour late.  I'm a Biker, a rebel, no rules, and outlaw who doesn't care. 
got food, rest up, and hit the road back.  For a short while, I was behind a few Cagers, but when the roads got twistie, I was the only person on the road.  I fell into "The Zone"  [moto]
I lost my concern for Pigs, no schedule to meet.  every turn was smooth, no hard acceleration, a smooth 50 MPH, that's right a Law Breaker.  As a spectator to Track Day last weekend, I felt like I was in my own track, mimicking the lean, the knee out, head shoulder position.  I felt at one. and it was great!  Then the inevitable, the Gas light came on.

Sunday came and I was cleaning out the bugs in my Radiator with a Toothbrush, oh the joy of cleaning after your mess, the Pride of a well deserved Cleaning.  After photos coming.  [thumbsup]
