PPIR has a left-right chicane. When I went to transition from the left to the right, I picked my body up before the bike and pushed the bike lower than it would go, tucking the front. Had no idea what happened until Rybo showed up and said what I'd been trying to say all along. Bike is banged up; I'm fine. $80 worth of parts on the way to make it right again... WOOT WOOT!!

I had a blast and will be back!

Quite a few guys went down but nothing major.

Definitely addicted... I was up against a bunch of much faster bikes, 600s and 1000s, and got the adrenaline pumping trying to catch them in the corners. Passed one guy on the outside and then said fuck it... let's go! Do what it takes to catch them and then crashed out. Oh well! I bought the damn thing to learn how to ride and tear it up in the process.

Got tons of support from the veteran racers. MRA support for new racers is incredible. The camaraderie is unreal.

LOVE IT!

No wife thank God, but this sport is worse on my wallet than a bloody crack habit.

I just picked up some new-to-me leathers. I'd be screwed if I didn't get all of my crap used and cheap.
