Never Forgotten
After months of waiting this day finally arrived.
Juggler, Alan signed up a few months back and being the "I just need a reason to hit another track day" type of guy I am, I registered as well.
I also talked a few guys into joining us. Chris from the shop and Reid from the R1-Forum made the journey.
The day started with temp in the low 70's and forcast highs in the 80's. A great day to learn a new track.
The 1st session was a eye opener, this is a very techinal track. One tight turn right after another. Us Busa guys are gonna be in for a workout.
By the 3rd session, I was learning more and more. I was able to scrape my knee in a couple of places.
In turn 6, I was scraping the puck all the way around the corner. For 5-6 seconds, I would here a solid scrape. I know some of the guys I ride with do this all the time, but I do not think I will ever get over that sound.
I also hit in turn 10, a very high speed sweeper, probably 110 mph....man I was flying...or so I thought, until a control rider wheelied past me, lol
I spent the last sessions working on my RH turns. I still do not think I hit a correct line in a right hander 2 laps in a row. They are tough.
The rest of the crew was doing well also.
Reid and Chris were flying in the I group, maybe some day I will get to join ya....
Alan was all smiles and you could not knock the grin from his face with a 2 x 4.
See what I mean bro? You are hooked now....
Over all we had a awsome day.
The only down side for me, my tranny popped out of 2nd gear twice. The start of many more times to come I am sure, if I dont have some repair work done.
I have been looking for a reason to add a little hp, now I have a reason, lol.
