Posted on the main Intro section but probably better to repeat in Local area!

Great meeting you as well. Glad I decided to try and squeeze in to that spot next to your truck!

You're already progressing faster than me on the track!  Took me 6 track days to just kiss the pavement with my left knee slider...and was only yesterday until I can get it down consistently in some turns.    

Now I have to work on the ultra-clean, untouched right knee slider...

Welcome to the DFWM!  I don't know if I got to talk to you at trackday but I'll make a point to meet you at the next one.

Welcome!

Nice meeting you Saturday   Yes, I think I have video of you screaming by me on the track.  Youtube completely takes all the quality away from the video when you upload it.  

Thanks. I'd love to have a clip of the original one of these days.  My only track video so far has been my first day when I thought I was really leaning the bike and was disappointed to see that I probably put in a whopping 15 degrees (and crossed-up at that!). I'll remember that track day since I also found out that the rental leathers leave a certain aroma with you...and I promptly bought a new set the following week.

Bryant8 - I think you were the one wearing the same leathers I had on (black Dainese Laguna Seca) on an 848, right?  I'll try to be more sociable next time  

Actually, I ended up getting myself a bit dehydrated in the late afternoon so I was taking advantage of the entire 30 min break  to rest. I'm also not used to having bikes too close to me the whole session so I still need to train my vision to look further down the track more...Of course, riding a 748, I'd better get used to it since I couldn't believe how fast the other bikes go when the throttles are opened up.  I was telling people I felt like someone was doing that Startrek 'warp speed' thing at the exit of the turns.  There was also a Monster of some sort that had to be on steroids because him and this 1098R were just running away on every exit/straight.  If the guy is in this group, I'd like to apologize for almost passing him in a corner (Little Bend) because I couldn't quite catch up  enough after Ricochet to make a clean pass. I backed off just before the apex and he went on his merry way (and I just followed him around the rest of the session).

I'm really looking forward to next time!

[bryant8]

Yes indeed, that's me!

I think the guy you are referencing was riding a Chrome Monster?  I recall seeing him zoom past me at full throttle on every lap.  If that's the Monster you're thinking of, I don't think he's part of this crowd.

The Cromo Monster owner is a good guy!  I've talked to him multiple times at AMS, but his name escapes me.

That's an 2v 900 too

He was running intermediate.  I try not to look at bikes on the track since I got caught admiring the MV Agusta as I was going through Rattlesnake and then we were in Wagonwheel! I just know the bike had a lot more grunt than my 748 since I would be on the throttle a lot earlier and not gain on him after he accelerated.  Probably could've passed  but no use doing something silly on a track day which is for fun and not a race....
