1st Trackday
Finished 1st day at Gateway in St Louis. Wow.
I rode with novice of course. The 300 was a lot of fun. Had a few moments that were less than stellar. Over road the instinct to grab brake and chop throttle when I thought I couldn't make the corner.
Just told myself more lean!
3rd session one of our group failed that and crashed pretty hard. That red flagged us.
The really nice guy next to us in garage crashed at about 100 on the goat path.
Bike is trashed. He was ok but wife took him to hospital for leg X-ray.
I could keep up in the twisters but really fell behind on straights.
I'm hooked. Sad to consider not taking the bike on road but definitely see advantage of race plastics.
