What could possibly go wrong ?

We're going counterclockwise a week from Friday.. It's like going to a new track !

.. Who's coming? Brian? Kuss? Depo? There's still room, according to the site.trackoholics trackday schedule

You didn't just say that did you? That like Calista Flockhart saying she needs to loose weight. It's a slap in the face to us fat and slow people!

Damn - I was hoping you were going to post a turn-by-turn analysis. So far the only thing I've heard is that the clockwise 'hump' morphs into the counterclockwise 'ramp to the stars'..

I can't make it on the 13th, but am planning on the 30th with Trackoholics. I gotta ride soon...haven't been on my bike since the Fireblades event.

Have a great time next week...and remember to roll off the gas "before" the hump!

Nope, even he admited that if he were in my shoes he would have bought the gixxer. He bought the honda when he worked at a honda dealer.
