    Good times...
    Thanks to Marc for the help, Scott for the advice, Elden for the heckling, and everybody else for not running over my ass. (...maybe if I just had a bigger bike...)

    The day was well organized, the Track was incredible and everybody was very friendly.
    The Boulder Ducati pit even provided some nice eye-candy, and Dave's dog was pretty cute too.

    I am pretty sure that a good time was had by all. I still can't believe I went to the track and did not take my camera . . . what a surreal experience!

    That was awesome! Way better than any session I've ever had at IMI. I finally got to test the limits of my red ninja. I was getting quicker throughout the day as I learned the track, but man those racers are on another level. And when I say another level, I mean like 4 or 5 levels above where I am. Super impressive.

    You were looking good out there. You had good form when I was behind you for a little bit.

    Re: HPR "Winter" lapping program starts EARLY!

    On a similar note, this is the second trackday that I put on the Q2's. Needless to say, I am very impressed with them. Once set to the right pressures, they where able to do everything that I asked of them without even a single issue. They even handled me ripping out of a corner on the Gixxer One Billion!

    Seriously though, I would definitely recommend them as a excellent choice for a rider who both commutes and is fairly aggressive during the occasional trackday. Big ups for Oscar in making sure that I was running the right pressures.

    Thanks for the meat and buns Brad. (In a non-sexual way pervs!) Sometime I forget to eat when I go to the track so you and Julie (Aarons fiance) made it easy for me. Thanks again!!

    Glad I can help out Mark. Thanks for the review!! It's always good to know what the tires are doing out there and how we (Dunlop) can improve on it.
    I didn't recognize you without the camera for a second either. Did you get some good video tho??

    yesterday was more of a 32 front and 28 rear day.

    For the track you can go from 32-34 front and 28-32 rear depending on the outside variables.
    35R for canyon
    38R for street

    LOL... I'm with you 100%. My thanks are to Mike for the body position help (WAY different... and oh am I feeling it today!), Scott and Elden for the pit help, advice and support. I learned a LOT, the day was well worth it. Kendra and Erika had fun too.

    Thumbs up Re: HPR "Winter" lapping program starts EARLY!

    It WAS a good day. Big thanks to Mike (hcr25) for showing my slowwww self around the track in the morning Also a huge thanks to Bill and Bill (#425) from Yuma, CO for the pit help. Wish I had met and got to talk with more folks but I was too busy trying to figure out what I was doing most of the time

    So, who's going back out this Saturday? Looks to be close to 70 and sunny!
