I have to say that the 2 day Keigwin Novice school was a blast for me. And thanks to Adrian, Steve, Blue and many of the other instructors, I was able to trim my 3:15 lap times down to around 2:30 and the end of the school. The Bike was set up great by Dave Moss and rode like a Cadillac  around the track. The only thing wrong with the old CBR600 That I rode, was that it wasn't a twin.  :'( Well nothing perfect.. [laugh] So now I'm on the trackday hook and I'm going to have to buy more stuff now. So what can I say, it's fun!

where's my Bacon eating smiley?

TCK!

July 12-13th come join us in Reno :D

of 20th at Thunderhill (I'm waitlisted)

or 26-27th in Buttonwillow

Good going Dave!

Don, just get your butt out to a Keigwins day.  Why go all the way to Reno on the 12-13 when we're at THill on the 13-14?  Much better track and much closer.

TCK!

I can't get the time off man :( I'm a weekend warrior :D I've already bought some VIP tickets for Sept in Reno and November I think at T-Hill, it'll be good times and I look forward some personal instruction time!

I thought you and Vinny kept that sort of stuff private? [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

I didn't buy any pics. He took Lots of pics of me going slow but there are a few of me on the second day going much faster.  Maybe next track day I ll get some pics. Ill probably have the bike painted by then too.
