Riding gods blessed Ohio this weekend, wish I could ride. Working plus sick. Finally that shitty virus caught UpTo me. Pauly remember that recent atrocious days, I am going through that now lol

Working 😭 as usual I will try to track back and meet you some where skinny man. As lo as I get a run back on 164 with you I be satisfied compared to no run at all.

Yea I was just kidding when I said I was waiting for it, just not sleeping lol

I went and asked Marty with big wide eyes, Will it be uploaded tonight ? He said “ okaaaay Timmmm”

I prolly should go to bed, looks like Marty is not uploading today. 😂 The refresh button is all scuffed up more than the knee pucks

Both of those three are bad at math

The day after track day at work

After my amazing experience yesterday I would say I would go back to track at least hand full of times a year. Just like doing a gap trip etc. it’s just an experience. Don’t have to be 100% involved in it. To me the best possible combination seems like thousands of street miles for the endorphins and few hundred track miles for the adrenaline load a year. Lots of good and bad in both sides. Lucky are the few who get to do either one and blessed are the few who get to be involved with both. 😇

Haha 🤙🏽 That was a great. I was not even trying and never expected to start dragging by second session. Once you get hooked to that sensation of gentle vibration and scrap sound it’s pretty addicting. I can’t lie, pretty vain i know , but have to admit that was a really really good feeling of achievement lol but my aim for the day was to improve my left handlers, Problem is mainly hard left handlers. I don’t think much changed in that aspect with only few left handlers we got. Need to work on it streets itself I guess.

Naaaaaaah, no way guys. If I wanted to be full on track junkie I would have become one long ago when Ryan and jester both were deep into it and Ryan always telling me how much fun it is and pulling me to try it non stop. I like going fast in streets only in certain scenarios and only certain moods, most time when I am out by myself am just enjoying the travel. I believe one of my best asset as a rider is my ability to have a photo memory of maps. I never used gps for any street rides in the last 10 years, except once we reach a city area. And I love exploring the roads that way, just look up map and go out and enjoy, stop take tons of pics and videos. And most importantly meet new people. For example in the last few days I been out riding have met some other new riders who is just like us “ full gear full long day twisty riders” already have their contacts and stuff and most likely building up a network of like minded network like this. now regarding track, I am 100% certain I enjoyed this way more than last time was because of the people around. The one time I tried in nearly a decade ago, I was new new to every thing. New to OR, new to America, new to track. Only person I knew was @jbot he went above and beyond to help me get there and try track and feel included. But I was just too reserved shy and hiding social anxiety and track anxiety lol But this time literally everyone I knew for years, felt like coming back home, these guys were giving me tow around makes you feel privileged compared to other novice guys. 10/10 would recommended any street riders to give a track day one try just for experience. Pretty sure @Skinny guy will contact you next year Tim. at the track I was just enjoying them corners, in the straight I was not even opening up. Literally riding like street style with attack corner and cruise straight 😂 I like the acceleration part, shooting out of corner but don’t feel good about the velocity part like full on high speed. Don’t have a competitive urge or that kind of personality which I think you need a bit to get absorbed into track days. If not you can be pleasantly involved just running intermediate group and enjoy for ever. As for me, all I see in future is just trying novice days once in a while just to come explore the limit of bike and train myself a bit more to trust the bike in a controlled environment. 👍

This was an awesome day and a great experience. @TimTheAzn @Jester_ Can’t thank you guys enough for making a very memorable day out for me. Without you guys around it would have been stressful and Impossible to get done as riding in and riding back etc. . Esp Need to thank Tim who set the ball rolling and my mind cranking to get this done. It’s been almost 8-9 yrs since the last time I tried a track day. This was esp better since got to spend with friends who I haven’t seen for such a long time. Plus got to meet @F4iguy as well few remaining OR folks I need to meet face to face. I don’t think I will be out right track junkie, but this was really enjoyable to the point I will be coming back to do this at least 4-5 times a year.

Wish I could have made it, but I had already committed myself to doing a track day. Invested into getting full face helmet and a suit etc. There was no way I was letting the golden straw from Tim go wasted hope you guys had a good ride. The day was beautiful at the end. Catch you all next time. @Shoop thanks again for doing this, hopefully next spring it’s even better.

where is everybody?

Unfortunately I did not

Aweeeesome, was looking at one and infatuated with it for the longest time. Then Pauly closed shop, that means Ducati got scratched off my future bike list forever 😆

Guess the bike thread 🤙🏽

Access to good school system and competitive education environment will be a high priority as well. Does being around big university/ college town areas influence these outcome any ways? Want to be in suburb of a bigger city if possible, mainly for varied cultures cuisines and stuff will these criteria be satisfied by any zones in Tennessee NC upper GA area.

I am trying to add trail braking to the tool bag these days, it’s messing up my rhythm now, but trying to keep at it until it becomes second nature. Old dog and new tricks is a reality for sure and not just a saying.

If this thing comes under 480 wet pounds with the same electronic package as the big h2 brothers it will be a real hit with the new hot market of super naked bikes.

Sheeeet, should have waited few months 😂 Key word is cornering abs/ lean angle IMU thingy enabled

Wish I could join, but enjoy guys. Friday really looks like an outstanding day.

Wish I could

Is any one planning to get out for a bit this coming Tuesday, seems like great weather. Last few days. I might be able to get off and if I do will be going out for a ride.

Was in because of traffic? Heard it’s real bad in Atlanta these days.

Thank for coming out guys, Ed as always nice to meet you. Wish you could have finished the ride, it was getting warmer and way more nicer. Hope you had a good ride back home. @Skinny guy as always out standing run, esp return leg. That’s the best part of the day for me. 🤙🏽
