Afraid I'm going to miss you. Family thing, dang it. Would rather be at the track, frankly.

Have fun! Will you be on the 1000?

Aw that stinks, i should be able to make a couple more next year. We consolidated a lot of debt and we both have an allowance now so play money was a bit light this year.

Ya ill be on the N1000, its my only bike now! Well, i got my dads Honda 305 (CL77 or whatever its know as), but that'll never see the track.

I am planning on riding up to Thompson on Sunday the 23rd with as many biker friends as possible. Hope to see you both there. I may have to see if Razee has one more spot available!

Yeah I might be hanging out on the 23rd. I think as of the weekend Razees had a few spots left. Give Gil or Sue at Razees a call.

Great day yesterday at Penguin - Kawi day. Awesome weather. Didn’t get to test a prepped ninja 400 as I was rusty and didn’t want to throw any variables at myself later in the day as I was getting tired. Well run day and some really fast guys out there.

Well - guess I finally got in my usual 4-5 days per year. 3 of which in the last week. Was a cold or at least cool day but a fun day none the less with TTD/Razees yesterday.

You need to ride more. I want the opportunity to hold you up in blue group.

Hey @Bigballsofpaint, did you make it out? How did it go?

Yes that's true. My buddy John gave me workout on the track. He's improved quite a bit this season and I've slowed (or aged quicker). Don't think you'd hold me up!

Sunday went well. Typical day that nothing "clicked" until my last session. I mean i felt good all day, got use to the N1000 and it performed well so i dont think ill go the dedicated track bike route. I dont go enough to justify it. Louden is back ont he table next year so i plan to do that at least.

I need to work on pushing my bar, i take most turns to the point where the bike comfortably falls in. I think this is why im never dragging knee, im not really pushing the bar to initiate the turn more. Oh well, progress at least, Lets see if i remember it now. I got the helite vest too. I felt wierd not having the back protector in, and i still have to get use to unclipping it when i get off the bike.

All in all, no incidents from me or todd so it was a good day. He made a lot of progress because i asked an instructor to follow him (his pride wouldnt allow him to ask for help even though he knew he issue) He did well after that and had a blast.
