I have 3 that tie..
1. My first 86 degree summer night ride (20+yrs ago). Clear skies, lovely stars and moon and my passenger to enjoy the cruise. It was that night, I realized I would ride the rest of my life.
2. The little things that happen with friends on and off track (hard to pick just one), honestly... some of the best times I have ever had around bikes has been in the paddock after the track day is over. Good food, good friends, good laughs and good nights sleep under the stars.
3. My first time coaching, terrifying at first, but the reward at the end of the day was worth everything I kept hidden. To accept the self inflicted burden of responsibility for another's safety is not for everyone.
/close 4th - My first time winning a race. I asked myself, did that just happen?
/close 5th - Draggin a knee in the wet. I thought I was crashing, but didn't.
