Welcome and congrats on the new bike.
There's a few S4 owners around, you should be able to get advice as needed.
I'm sure you will have fun once you get those tires. [moto]
Thanks for the welcomes! And I DID have fun with it on new tires!
We took it to the track today!
Rick Salmon (SBMotorsports) set us up with some new skins, Jim (my hubby) scrubbed them in during
the Advanced session, then I got to play for the rest of the day
(between registration tasks) in <cough>beginner<ahem>.
I couldn't believe how comfortable I was with the bike almost
immediately after entering the track! The only BIG thing to get used
to is the massive TORQUE! Holy f*ck, I need to learn the new meaning
of sssssssssssmmmmmmmmmmmmoooooooooooooooooth on the throttle -
especially out of the bus stop and out of T4 at Pacific Raceways.
Its WAY cool shooting down the front straight with the throttle pinned
and feel the engine STILL pulling. Wee!
I only wish I had more time on it, but there were a few sessions I had
to miss due to riders being transported - one broke his collar bone in
T4, the other didn't pump up his brakes after changing tires, and
LAUNCHED his bike OVER the wall in T2. The bike ended up over the
burm(sp?) almost striking a guy putting up fencing on the other side.
The rider bailed and looked to have broken a couple of ribs. Being the
registrar, I had to make sure emergency contacts were called, they had
the ID/wallet/etc they needed at the ER, and their stuff got loaded
and accounted for. Made me miss two sessions dammit.
More soon!
Thanks All!
