    You people missed out!! My friend and I have the whole track to ourselves during the bike session. Only two cars here too.

    Yep we did it was very nice and a bit surreal to he the only bikes on track. The only car was a GT3 doing some laps. So a total of three people on track today.

    O.k. well I'm just about done uploading a video of the track day. Be forewarned it's not great footage, mainly just of the cockpit of the bike and my shifting and throttle usage. That being said, it was a great day, got some good pics, some footage and better yet. After 7 years of being away from the track got to get back to the track!!

    Also our lap times were horrendous but we did managed to shave our times down from the beginning. We did four sessions, with session two being our quickest. Which is what I'll be uploading. I can't believe how much speed I've lost over these years but it was starting to come back as the day went on. Our slowest lap time a 2:07.4 with our quickest being a 1:57.6 and I'm sure the next lap after the 1:57 would have been a little quicker but that's when Eli ran off the track and I slowed down as I saw a dust cloud as I was coming out of turn 7. He didn't go down and managed to ride it out.

    The 1:57.6 is a far cry from our best of 1:41 but we haven't been on track in 7 years, had less than stellar tires and we're older(HAHA!!) I'm sure we'll be getting the lap times to drop next go around. We lucked out in being the only bikes at Pueblo yesterday. Which was excellent as it gave us the chance to get adjusted to riding the track again, burn up what was left of our tires, learn the new turn 10 as well. No pressure from other riders and it was just myself and him to push each other along as the day went by. All in all I was pleased to scrub off 10 seconds from our initial hot laps. Progress was made..

    Here's some pics.. Only one car ran, thought the BMW was going to run. Just the Porsche went out..
