Default Back from my first track weekend 56K warning!!!!

What's up everyone, just finished up my weekend up at Jennings GP. It was a great time. Time Attack put on a great event and raised a lot of money for the Red Flag Foundation. This had to be one of the funnest weekends i have ever had on a bike. I guess now i am hooked and can't wait to go back. Other than a few people that crashed it was a pretty clean weekend. One girl did get rushed to the hospital and ended up cracking 2 vertibra in her neck, but they said she is going to be all right. Here are some pic's from the trip.

When i bought the bike it was all messed up so i just got race fairings. I got a pretty go deal at e-racings.com. The fit was spot on. I didn't have to shave anything just drill holes for the screws and it was good to go.

Yeah, you definitely HAVE to try trackdays. It's a whole different type of riding and enjoyment. You can go much faster safely! You are the limit instead of cops, dog, deer, gravel, semi in your lane etc. You get thepicture. Get on track.
