What I do when im not enjoying my HT : )

[TheFactor]

Did my first 8 hour track day and cant wait to go back, nailed a top speed of 162mph on the straight could of done 180 but ran out of courage

It's better to run out of courage than to run out of talent. It hurts a lot less.

That looks like hella fun. My wife has squashed every overture I've made toward getting a bike for myself. I can't complain too much because her only real reason is that she wants me to live. How can I argue with that?

Very good point Dave lol Whats funny is I feel safer on the track doing over 100 MPH then I do 55mph on the streets and yes its a lot of fun for sure I truly love being on the track with my bike. At the end of the straight on the track a semi pro rider can reach one 180 but you have to be on the brakes hard because at the end is turn 1 a sharp ride hand turn that can be taken around 60 mph "at my experience level" that I would consider relaxed compared to some lol but anyway had the bike wiggle a few times by not enough brakes and shifting down one to many gears but I hung on to it a managed to throw it into the turn instead of wanting to lock it up and stand the bike up and head off into the grass and tires which wouldnt of been good. Ive been riding the streets for many years but the track is a whole different animal ; )

That looks like a lot of fun but I have to think that you are missing out on some of the thrill not having the cops chasing you knowing full well that they won't hesitate to ram a bike that doesn't pull over.

Ride through an airport at 100mph ... you'll see what I mean.

Stand there with as hurt puppy look and quietly ask, "Do you need all of those shoes?"

That oughtta get her attention.

Beats wondering why she suddenly thinks it's a great idea.

Getting the Vette was her idea. I think I'll be able to survive without a bike.
