Tire Question

This one is more recent (Barber in Feb, 6 track days later).. I'm doing better on the shoulders being opened to the corner, what else can I work on?

Getting your torso down to the tank. You'll be surprised how much of a difference it makes.

blackhawk is a fun fun track. it is sorta short, easy to learn, pretty smooth, not too fast and not very flowing (unlike putnam), more of a point and shoot track. BHF by far has the best paddock atmosphere of any track and reminds me of visiting a state park, easily the most fun stop on the schedule for me

I beg to differ. Get up to speed and the corners link up prety well. Find Ron Hix on youtube and watch.

Have you talked her into letting you come out and play yet?

Since the bike isn't selling it should get used or else it will go bad.
I can't really blame the wife, it is more of a finance thing. I have the money to ride as long as everything goes well... however Big hospital bills / Transport would hurt. In addition too much time away from work to recover from an injury would be really bad in my current position as an IT contractor. As the sole provider of my family I don’t feel it is responsible for me to take additional chances until I’m in a better position.

I did... though looking at that stupid bike keeps making me want to come back. She sure does look sexy with those brand new slicks on her. As far as an event, I planned on being at the Bash, however that didn't turn out. I WILL be at RA in late April.

I have been hiding in Green Bay trying to figure out what the hell to do for fun this summer.

Understandable, It is the responsible thing to do.

Of course I have never been very good at that.
