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 :thumb:
Sweeeeet... I wish I had the money (and the balls) to try that...
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).
Ja, that's just what I was thinkin'...

What kind of Sidis did you wind up buying?
Nice choice of numbers :thumb:

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. :P

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.
i envy you (knee scraping) - i'm still working on hangin off... :o

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. :thumb: :thumb:
What is PR?
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. :)
