Great pics Charlie; that nice cool motor home saved my arse on Sunday it was SOOO hot! Thank your wife again for her generous hospitality!
I've got video to post of me following Charlie and Jay (Tiller) to post just need to edit it a little; looking forward to using vimeo link this time instead of youtube.
Let me tell you what:
1. I hate to overinflate his ego, but Jay (Tiller) has a boatload of natural talent; on his FIRST TRACKDAY, to my ever-loving total chagrin since I'm STILL not, he is dragging puck around most all the turns! Even the Novice lead instructor rode up to the camper to find him and tell him that (and to caution him to slow down just a little). On Saturday's video, I manage to pass him; he didn't like the "eat me" sticker very much, so on Sunday late I went out and followed him again, and could NOT pass him. That guy's got some TALENT. Jay you need to move up to I.
2. Charlie can ride the pants off his Busa. After I video'd Jay a while, I started tailing Charlie. Anyone that says a Busa can't turn should watch this video. We are turning under 2 minutes most of the video, best lap was 1:56:08 (my best time ever). I could not pass him either; I could catch him in the turns, and even had the setup on him about 3x, but the moment we both went to WOT he would step away from my Gixxer 1K and I could not pass him. Both of them are more aggressive riders than I; both are willing to go deeper into the turn at a faster speed before braking than I. I ran faster time following them in Novice than I did riding by myself in Intermediate. VERY IMPRESSIVE RIDING GUYS.
I'm not even that sore today; those isometric exercises that Tufbusa told me about really helped! Randyman, you missed me talking Mark into letting me go out and video in N last session both days; managed to get an additional sesson BOTH days
WE ARE GONNA HAVE A BLAST IN OCTOBER
