I love Mike's KTM..never get tired of seeing it! Tod...you are SOOOO lucky I wasn't there for the second loop and the closure of the Ivy. There is NO way you would escape the razzing that would have ensued!! I'm glad you guys had a safe ride. And my shingina says thanks. I told Jinx that I fixed a big problem I was having with corner entrance speed. It was actually thanks to you....the last ride we did I think. And yeah..there was a psycological issue but I think that's been nipped. The other major factor is...the rear tire of the 08 ZX10 is one grippy SOB. I liked the 2CT's, but I feel way more confident on the 016. Eric has definitely improved from last time!! BIG BIG difference! I tried to stay in the middle...far enough back to let the warp speed guys ahead, but close enough to keep them in my sight. It didn't always work out..traffic..slower bikes..etc. Plus, I'm a little leary of having too many people behind me that I've never ridden with. It seemed to all work out well for the most part..except for a certain someone trying to pass on a curve.
