There's two types of people in this world...Those who can count and those who can't. And I did a nice 2 hour ride and only saw one sheriff patrolling and one at the scene of a minor accident.

Hey 12, completely off-topic. Anyway I stopped down by warrior racing and talked to Dave and some other kid, they were stunting. Said you stop by and stunt with them every so often... That is all.

Still see an X here.

It's so big it's missing.... I've got a X showing on my screen

He posts pictures about as well as he rides street.

Notice both have the left passenger peg out too....Those squids wheelie in that gear too...

Hmm...I like the gloves...Lemme ponder this one.

UPDATE Thursday 21, 11:24pm Cory is doing much better. He stood up today and was moved to a chair and he sat in the chair for about 2 hours. He is breathing much better but he still has alot of build up in his lungs. That is whats holding him back. He is still in the ICU. He seems happy. He smiles alot and laughed at me and the nurses. I heard him call me pretty today!! And he said Jess. He is using his lips, tongue and teeth to try and make words. they lowered his morphin to 5ml/hr. Almost there guys.

Wish it were closer... Hope it's a success guys!!

beads mean boobs...

What I quoted is what I feel you took from my post... I think you're misunderstanding my entire point. I have no problem with the track. I never said I did, I even said the track will make you a better rider. One of these days when I have enough money I will do some track days. Eventually I might race. I may buy a second bike down the road just to race...I know I can be a better rider, I'm barely a novice... Just for perspective, I have Diablo Strada's on my bike, I got 9K miles out of them. My 6R took me to Deals Gap and back in a little over 48 hours. That's my riding style. I've never ran a sport tire. I don't care to run 80-90% of my ability. I'm happy with 50% and knowing there's a whole hell of a lot more I can push. I've got my suspension set-up for street. I have a corbin seat. I have saddlebags. I can adjust my suspension to track, I can finish working on my stock seat and put it back on so I can move around in the seat, and I can take those bags off and run the track should I ever find the money. It's just not really a priority. I'm a street rider, I like to travel. My bike is more fun than my car to do that. My whole point was there are other avenues to learn. The track is not the sole answer to how to ride. It's one option. Take your own advice on this one... "The ones that can swallow their pride and want to learn..." Humble yourself. Realize other people don't ride the track day in/day out. Some of us like to ride street too.

I'm not going to, but you just left the door wide open... I do agree with you though. It's gotta be equal for both parties.

That is awesome!! Dayton has a sense of humor!

I'm guessing in the 6-8K range...I almost always end up doing at least one 1000-1500 mile trip, lost of 200-300 mile trips, and then racking up a whole bunch of local miles throughout the year. And considering I started in March this year, it could be a 10K season...

Yep, it's not our fault you had a bad day...Why should we apologize for it. If we had a bad day all we get is a whatever...

I'd be up for something, looks like it's gonna be nice again.

I haven't argued that. I'm only saying the track is not the only option. Myself, for example, I picked one road and rode it day in and day out. I gained a lot of confidence, picked up a lot of speed, and exponentially increased my riding skills by doing that. That carried onto other roads and other corners. I'm without a doubt not the fastest rider (no where close really), but I'm happy with my riding abilities and confident with my riding skill. I'm sure I could have picked up those skills "quicker" on the track, but I would have spent a lot more money and not gotten near as much riding time. I ride because that's who I am. I don't want to go fast and drag knee in every corner, I like to go 55mph sometimes. I also like to power through corners sometimes. For me it's not about how quick I can become confident/fast in a corner, it's getting out and riding around for a couple hours and slowly gaining that speed/confidence. The OP stated in his first line and I quote "so how do/did you all," well it took me a few months of riding the same road. Slowly at first and I worked myself up a point I am happy with. I scroll through the posts and you and flounder are saying the track that's it, that's the only way. You said, and I quote, "The only way to get better is to really do track days," that is simply not true. It's one way to get better, it's the quickest way to get better, but it's not the only way to get better. My point is there are other options besides the track. You push the track because you're an instructor and you race. Others push the track because they've done it. And yeah it's a great thing, but it's not the only answer to how to get better at this particular topic, or anything else motorcycle for that matter.

That vette is amazing!!

So they don't serve the buffet on the weekends?? I don't get it either...

He's a squid....Short sleeve shirt

I'll agree to disagree. I'm not arguing that the track is not the place to learn, just that it's not the universal answer to everything motorcycle. That is all.

I understand the track is a good place to learn...But it's not the answer to evolution... Be a little more open-minded with suggestions. Not everyone wants to do the track, not everyone can afford the track.
