Very cool. Good for her! [thumbsup] [Dolph]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that

Has she ever tested a full on 1000cc sbk yet? Just wondering if she has some big bike (as in fast as shit!) experience yet. All I have ever read about her has been related to 600cc bikes.

I agree. It's great for publicity and it'll be a great experience for her. Remember, even Ben Bostrom was somewhat humbled by the Honda at Laguna Seca. Apparently it's a whole different ball game.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

This is very bad.

The last thing this sport needs are Paddock Boys.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

You're a legal adult at 17 in Texas. ;D

Nope.  Age of Consent in TX is 17 and they have a "Romeo & Juliet" law which allows a partner to be 3 years older.  So a 17 yo could be involved with a 20 yo. 

Legal adult in TX is 18, just like everywhere else.
