PR track day

[Roadstergal]

My 2nd bike day at PR. It was a hoot, and I really feel like I rode 10x better than I did the first time I was out. I finally got the left knee scraping.  Unfortunately, I had to leave early due to the heat; I didn't have other clothes to wear between sessions, and I discovered the drawback of a one-piece; no ability to take off just the jacket. Despite drinking loads of water, I overheated. I left after 4 sessions, when I felt like my mind was no longer focused sufficiently on the task of riding.

I can't wait for September, and I'll bring some clothes to wear between sessions so I can stay for longer. I also need to get new tires; the stockers on the SV are getting a little shredded.

NESBA, as before, put on a well-organized and fun day.

Short me.  Slammed bike.  A friend of mine took these two.






I've never seen a Bimota up close before.  It parked next to me in the paddock.  FZR-1000 engine.




This SV was ridiculously fast.  It's not the bike, it's the rider...

Looks like you had fun  

[RVertigo]

Sweeeeet...  I wish I had the money (and the balls) to try that...

[Roadstergal]

It costs nothing to try.  See the guy behind me in the jeans?  You can run two sessions as a Novice for free (led at a very moderate pace).

[Roadstergal]

Ja, that's just what I was thinkin'...

What kind of Sidis did you wind up buying?

[dgyver]

Nice choice of numbers

Nice choice of numbers  

 :mrgreen:   I was thinking the same thing when looking through the pictures.

I try to amuse...

I got the Sidi Vertebra 2.  I dunno why, but the local place had a pair left over in 36... even the online places don't carry 36.

Them's nice boots boss, but they's 'spensive  I couldn't convince myself to buy a pair, since I only ride street.  I'll pick up some race boots when/if I ride track days, meanwhile I'm waiting on my A*'s touring boots to show up.

It helps that the SV is paid off.

Those are some sweet pics.  I like the ones from above and the couple where you knee is about an inch or two off the ground.

What is PR?

[Roadstergal]

Pacific Raceways.  It's a teeny little track in Kent, WA.  But it has elevation changes and not much in the way of straights, so it's good as a technical track where HP doesn't gain you as much as it does at bigger tracks.
