Welcome to the site

Have a great birthday!

You guys might be a little out of control.....

Hi Nikki, welcome to the board

Welcome to the board!

I can't believe i just read that whole story. I REALLY can't believe someone would dry fire a gun directly toward their own leg. Wonder if there was something else going on there......

Sorry to hear about your friend. There is no need to apologize for getting this off your chest.....

Which Schmuck?

Damn, I can't look through them until lunch..... Schmuck, maybe since there are so few pics of us he will cut us a deal and just put ours onto a disk. Surely he realizes that $50 for 3 or 4 pictures is a bit steep

Mr Impatient! Here they are... http://www.flickr.com/photos/12055258@N08/sets/72157620830632878/ I've never used Flickr before, I was just trying something new. The last 6 got out of order so I tried to rearrange the set by alphabetical. Anyway, hopefully this works.

oops, I did too earlier today!

I thought they were going to raise the limit for cars as well.....

Oh and yes. Turn 1 is a FAST corner. I had to start peeking at my speedo and was averaging about 97 - 100 until I got too tired....

Yeah, I didn't want to steal your thunder, buddy. All I know is that I was taking pictures of you guys in turns 6 and 7 and then turned the camera off to get a different angle on turn 7. Heard the awfullest screaching noise and started running til I could see you sliding down the pavement plus a little spin flip. I thought the RC was never going to stop sliding...I still can't really believe it went all the way down into the outside of turn 8. Just glad you are ok and the damage to the bike is minimal. You getting sore yet?? I know I was also nervous of Mike being in Novice group 2 the first day and Novice group 1 the second day but when I was up in the turns watching you guys, I could see that he was holding his own just fine!

Yeah, didn't really think of shifting up a gear. I pretty much rode the whole track in 3rd, except for the straights.....probably shoulda tried 4th a little more. I think you'll like -1 in the front. You have enough experience that you'll notice it but it won't be a whole different bike. I honestly had no idea what was coming for me when I signed up for two days. No one really mentioned how dead beat tired and rubbery-legged one can be after a full day of hard riding at the track. Ah well, a lesson learned. Your picture looks good. The keyhole and carousel owned me most of the time but I got a few passes that I was more pleased with.....hope the dude took pics of me....

Too funny, you brought up last year's thread.

you look so mad!

That's exactly it. Needs to become second nature.

Happy Birthday to you......

Oh and I am here to humbly say, that I have ALOT to learn, I need ALOT more experience and seat time and I have ALOT more respect for people who are truly fast on a racetrack. There is so much that goes through your mind and so much trust in your body and your machine. Someone compared it to golfing, in that alot of the competency is in your head and I totally agree. I really hope that I can get through some mental barriers and become more fluid and quick out there..... I LOVE OUR HOBBY!!!

Had such a great time.... and man I am BEAT. I guess the consensus from both track coaches yesterday and today was that I have good form and just need to work on speed and smoothness. I think I'm going to put my bike back almost to stock gearing or just -1 in the front. Being -1, +2 was really fucking up my world for the last two days. Every time I roll on and off the throttle it was jerking the bike and disrupt the chassis. Anyway, had a blast, learned alot and can't wait to try Grattan or Putnam. I won't do 2 days back to back again though. I was so exhausted by the middle of this afternoon that my legs were shaking. My instructor followed me and said I wasn't getting off the bike as much but it was because I couldn't lift myself from side to side! The website for the photog is jasonjosephphotography.net

My friend Missy just bought it and has started the program. I'll be interested to see how she does with it cause she's so small to begin with that she'll probably get pretty toned relatively fast

I discovered a new class called Muscle Madness at UA and it's awesome! I'm so glad. I hate it when the trainer is more concerned with getting their own workout, rather than ensuring that you are using correct form and doing the exercise the right way.
