HPR North trackday Saturday October 20th

[pdfruth]

I got passed a ton too, only my 2nd time at the track ever. Rybo, dude with the red CBR1000 and that dude with the red R1 passed me pretty close giving me a good scare but sure good to get exposed to that just to learn to expect it and not panic. Been racing long?

dude with the red CBR1000 = probably me = apologies.

I don't recall any scary moments that day, perse. But, I do remember my first few times on the track, and all the bikes with number plates passing me like I was standing still. It was an unnerving experience for sure. So, I shall try to keep that in mind and be more conscious of this the next time we're out there together.

Why don't you race? Your times with stock suspension put you top 3 of both novice and amateur open classes.

Like said no hard feelings at all man, just sharing my experience from the seat being only my 2nd time at the track (1 superstreet and this half day session) so it was good that the noob got scared out of me, preparing me better for next time haha. It was a very good day of riding, no major incidents thankfully.

Oooo [heavy sigh]... if only I were younger.
Sadly, it's just not in the cards for me, for many reasons.
Chief among them - age, and my day job. It sucks getting old. Don't do it.

Never too late man, by all means enjoy now

Agreed. I raced novice this year at 40....was still able to do well against the young'ins.

I wouldn't let age stop you. Most of the fast MRA folk are "advanced" in age.

[madvlad]

Fogs=MRA lol... Hell if I had the chance to race even at 80 I'd still do it.

Come on Pat!! Come race with me!

BTW, you need to make a sticker for the gear indicators, I want to throw one on the race bodywork.

The part-out has begun.
The bike has gone up for sale... if you know someone interested.

Sticker.... sticker... you're going to need more than a sticker to get you a checker flag... j/k :-)
