MOAR ..

Hey Ock1 let me know when you'd like to go back to IMI. You were looking good out there for your first day, unlike those who were all over the place. Would suggest pacing the course and working on corner entry points - both are things that are good to work on for any bike and any rider.

@matty, I had the red/black ninja 250r. I passed the orange R6 guy with long red hair a few times, I usually outbraked him, and he kept braking inside the last chicane too.

Winston, right? If so, nice meeting ya.

[Vellos]

Thanks for the pictures Jeff, they look sweet. New avatar I'm thinkin'!

Matty on the two fiddy.

A fun first day at the track. Glad to have met everybody and have had the chance to watch everybody's lines. Thanks for making me feel welcome.

Nice pics I'm diggin them!

[pauliep]

I'm getting angry bird angry that I didn't take leave to come out today. aw shucks

[Vellos]

What would you call them? And you on Ann's two-fiddy.

[Matty]

What would you call them?

3 guys on their bikes. They had their lids and jackets on. They weren't pushing their limits, they just didn't know how to hold their lines.


I was just wondering why you called them Squids?

[Bueller]

I wouldn't call them squid even though they pulled up with no gear on at all (it was in the chase car), but since I don't care how you dress to ride I can only hope they don't learn the lesson the hard way.
The one on the yellow R6 was actually getting around pretty good after the 250 caught and passed him, he passed me back up the back straight and then did a decent job of keeping me behind him. He is going to lay that bike down if he pushes it much harder with his poor body position. He had that thing layed over too far from being crossed up.

The other 2 were learning track riding and I didn't notice any problems with their lines except they weren't always a good line, but they were easy to get around.

They were at a track wearing possibly the best gear they own, working on riding in a controlled environment. Doesn't sound too squiddy to me. George you should have liaisoned for us, they coulda been the coolest newest noobs of the CSC.

It's not like I started shit with them or anything. Just stating my opinion about their character. I'm sure some sportbike riders find me squiddy, despite the full leathers, just because of the speeds I carry on the street.

[Vellos]

I was mainly annoyed with the orange guy. I'm not too comfortable yet passing people in the corner, especially since his lines were f---ed so it was sketch to pass while exiting the corners too. Then every time it straightened out he'd pin it and grab serious brake before the next turn.

[Zach929rr]

I blame my leathers for making me look fat

Also, it would appear I got some peg down today.

Nice pics Man the weather was chilly in the lab today.. wish I could have been outside with you guys.

I seem to recall ~1 year ago...A guy on a blue ZX6 waaring jeans at IMI

Lambeau had a friend there in jeans too, but she (like I) was there working with someone and was focused on learning - not trying to push it to shave milliseconds. The guys in question seemed like they were competing with everyone else on the track, checking their mirrors frantically when you'd get behind them, and not focusing on their own lines/abilities.

And the street speed things applies to must of us canyoneers.

Anyway, it was a lovely day and we all had a good time!

Friend...try wife

And this was a trial of sorts to see if she wanted to pursue this hobby. The verdict was yes, and I'm pretty sure that comes with the bonus of an increased allowance for me to spend on goodies

Looked on the site for IMI, only thing I could find are prices. Is the road track open everyday? What are the gear requirement, looks pretty lax from the photos? What are the bike requirement?

Thanks

Ryan
