Our little get together must have been (for most of you) like the night you finally "get" the woman or man of your dreams.

The time between then and now...

A combination of "hey, can you make me a sandwich?" and ...

The "Walk of Shame."

Come on Everyone!!!

terry and I did level 3 of cali superbike school on tues at NJMP, then worked the next day...  so we're still a bit exhausted.

here's a video dylan code did of me:  yeah I'm slow I know...I stayed in one gear (4th) as I had recently switched my monster to GP/reverse and didn't want to screw myself up on their bike.
I had to stop and think about which way to downshift when I would pit in... this session's goal was practicing the "hip flick" to quickly move from one side of the bike to the other for switchbacks. (this track isn't the best for this...)

Nice work. A hell of a lot better than I can do. I`m stil thinking about going in October, there are a few sportbike days. I think tony`s is one of them. Just have to get some cash for tires, Chain, sprocket, SERVICE, new car,old one is done.

BTW how many miles can you go there w/ on your tires. or should you go w/ new ones. My front has about 3k on it and I definately need a back one from the long slab ride the other day its totally flat in the middle now.

couldn't have been better.  It was the first track day I've done where I wasn't sweating in my leathers. 

isn't fun for us women when we have to go to the bathroom between every session.  You guys are lucky!

FYI,  because of the fear of dehydration you are encouraged to drink a bottle of water between every session, and should be peeing every time you pit in.   Peeling off and on sweaty leathers every 30 minutes isn't fun.   :-\
