I had a blast.  Weather was awesome  and I had a lot of fun riding with everyone.  Big thanks to Jerome for putting together the track day.  Thanks Alan,Beth and all the others that worked all day so we could have fun.  See everyone at the next one.

Well...I'm up in Portland at the moment (riding the bike to Tacoma and back)...and Karin is back home keeping all the animals fed. We wanted to be there. She won a free trackday at the last bike night so I'm sure she'll be chomping at the bit at the next one! :)

Peter, you're welcome!  I have a bunch of people to thank, too.  CBR Dave past me and then slowed down after sniping me for a while (unbeknownst to me)  and i said "holy crap, he's showing me some stuff!"  It was really cool to pick up, in a few minutes, what would otherwise take me multiple track days.  Thanks.   Also, Greg, aka "oneup" made me ELEVEN SECONDS FASTER per lap.  To watch someone who flows like water made something click.  Greg wasted countless laps so I could poach his lap timer.  Thanks bro... on to thunderhill and beyond

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. I've been picking up about four or five seconds per weekend on the 250, until this  weekend with the 600 when I picked up only two seconds. (Probably reached diminishing returns.)

Tires are wearing more, brakes are fading, headshake is appearing, and suspension is protesting.
