Somehow feel much safer onto a bike where I can quickly let go things and comfortably slide off in the run-out in the even of....! Very familiar with the wide open arms & legs sliding technique lolllll Low-sided min 10 times and sadly destroyed 3 bikes (high sides) during my last 20 years. Can I borrow your CBR instead?! 
Helen (wife) and I have a wed & newly born celeb to go too in summer of 2016 (CA). Date tbc. I'll drop by your home town for a weekend man. If not only to have a beer or two with you and I certainly want (need) to go visit that track Would be 2x cool if the track would be open for sessions at the time, fingers crossed man |
Definitely let me know when you are coming out here. I am sure there would be others that would want to grab a beer as well.
Not as many track events in the summer as some of the tracks are in the desert and , well it just get too friggin hot.
Our PCA club does have some driving events in the summer, AX and back road tours

Had it towed to an indy repair for healing. Hopefully this repair won't break the bank.

Changed the battery a few days ago, oil, and witnessed my indy stabbing my front tire to fix a slow leak (he found the 2cm miniature screw on the inner lip). Murder stuff...
Need to get the car annual inspection done before 1st Feb so I went and refueled it up today. Central heating system seems defect, or it doesn't heat up like before that's for sure

Yes, I'd like to jump in on that too and meet the both of you.
I'm hoping to get out to more Auto-X again in SD soon.

Just had a new windshield put in - done in the driveway. Luckily insurance paid most of it and I made sure it is an OEM windscreen.
A rock whacked last Saturday, left a big star that quickly cracked all the way to the edge - was on the way home from a fun drive around Malibu and Mulholland 'Snake'.

New windshield is very clear - didn't realize how scratched up my old one was!

Definitely come on down. We just had a great AX event Feb 6
Our next AX is Mar 26
And Charles, that really sucks!
I had a tire shop scratch all 4 of my wheels. At least they paid to have them refinished
