    First day on the track w/ 'new to me' bike!

    Well it was my first time on a track and the first ride on my 'new-to-me' bike. Looking forward to getting out there again next year & participating in the MRA season!!

    It was awesome day. Here are some pics.

    They didn't have the lap timers set up for my transponder, but my housemates took some times on their Iphone. There are definitely some areas I need to improve on. I'm anxious to get out there again & bring the times down!

    I would say not waving at the camera through turns would probably help get your lap times down . Looks like a blast, and after only riding with you once I can tell your skills definitely remind me Im still a newb.

    2:02s on your first day on a new bike??? Thats excellent. You must have a lot of natural abilty, and I'm sure you will do very well next year.

    It will be great to see that bike on the grid next year. Ryan rode it well this season.

    Yeah I wanted to buy that bike from Ryan but my explorer shit all over my savings about three days before I was ready to purchase. I remember you flying by me and thinking I wish I was on that bike..

    Glad you had fun on your first track day. Be careful there more addicting than any drug. You'll be selling the CBR just to fund your new track addiction...
