    Although those are good guide lines not all are "required" for HPR

     Motorcycles must have rear view mirrors either removed or covered with tape. HPR recognized instructors are exempted from this requirement.
     Full face helmets are required. Hinged full face helmets are not allowed.
     Motorcycle riders must wear full 1 piece or 2 piece leathers. 2 piece suits must zip all the way around at the waist. Textile suits are not allowed.

    I got the trailer and wheel chock thing figured out, so I am there if the weather is good!

    Do you guys usually do the entire day or just half days?

    I really only do 1/2 days. In the spring I usually do afternoon to get the warmth, and in the summer verse-visa to avoid said such.

    I can bring the box-o-parts if you are there.

    I was thinking just a half day for the first time out. I did Chicane last year and went out for every session except the last one. I was getting tired and made a few mistakes were I got lucky.

    Ah, yes I almost forgot about the extra parts, thanks! I need to send some pics of what the 250 looks like now, but will probably just wait so you can see it in person on the 15th.

    Was hoping weather was going to look better as we got further in the week, but from what I saw, it went from rain to 40% chance of snow.....

    My body positioning was completely different by the end of the day I felt a lot more comfortable and was able to handle the bike a lot smoother and faster, I have much to learn but i had a blast learning. Picking up my parts tomorrow if the weather doesn't ruin it ill be at HPR on Sunday to learn some more. .

    Forecast just gets worse every day. Close to 70 Saturday, close to 60 Monday and in the 40's with snow Sunday; go figure. I know a lot can change, but it's not looking good.

    Just constructive criticism, and to help keep you and others safe.... May want to keep your hand up for a longer period of time so the people behind you see it.

    Also will want to get out of the line if you are planning on getting off the track maybe through the last couple of turns.

    Looked like you had a blast out there!!! I need to get mine out there soon to shake some dust off me and the bike.

    Lol yea we had one of those "I thought you told him" moments. The convo afterward was quite specific.
    You did improve a good bit towards the end until the fail part. Watching that showes me you are still more comfortable turning left and you need to get those flippers up on the pegs.
