hahah man thats awesome, the little bike makes the track look huge. LUCKY. I'll bet you had a long time to yourself on the front straight though...

Even when I tracked my s13 there it felt like a giant track. Also I love how loaded up the rear suspension is at the bottom of the corkscrew

You Sir! Are you calling me fat?


Fact: I am actually shifting gears there....honest

And in the last pic, that is my testament of how good the new Pirelli 140 is! If you look at the 3rd pic top row, you can kinda see how nicely the tire is wearing

going on April 8th. Never rode a 250 there. Had great fun on my R6 last year.

Need to sort out recent discovered suspension with the 250 and some jetting fine tuning.

Yes, those Pirelli tires rock ...

Did you get any cool videos, Eric?

I got to ride there for two days in November. It was fun being the only 250 on track and mixing it up with B group.

I've seen this before. Shows that it's all about the rider, not the machine. He knows the track and his bike more than anyone else that he's riding with. It's funny seeing the faster bikes get overtaken every corner.

I can say from experience that some 600 riders at the track get PISSED when you blow em off in the corners. Fortunately they are not in the majority, cause passing at over 100MPH on the straight with less than 6 inches of rooom is not safe.

I don't have too many videos of me mixing it up with other bikes on a 250 like Logie's at Laguna, but I have my NRS video which was my first time back on the track after getting hit by a car and my first time on one of the Feel Like a Pro bikes which does have me mixing it up with some other bikes like BMW1000rr's and Ducati 1098's, etc. a year ago Not too bad for a 49 year old who didnt ride a motorcycle for 21 years
