August 13th Track day

These posts aren't in order, but I'm just trying to figure this out.  I hit a track day on August 13th at the New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, NJ..  it is a tremendous experience, and really lets you work on honing your riding skills without worrying about bad drivers in their 4 wheeled cages, guardrails, trees and animals and other things on the street that would spoil a ride tremendously..


Getting mentally prepared for action..



 Some warm up laps -- getting the tires warm.




And the chase is on...


He thought he would reel me in and came in with more momentum...

 


 but got pulled hitting the apex..




Doing a track day and/or mock race is something every motorcycle rider who likes to push a little should do..  it is an absolutely blast and great learning experience!

Upcoming Ride - Saddle Sore 1000 and Butt Burner 1500

With a few weeks between track racing days, I've decided to try an endurance ride.  I'm going to give the Iron Butt Association's Saddle Sore 1000 and Butt Burner 1500 a try starting on Saturday, September 17th..  I am going to try to embed a map so my progress can be followed..  If you happen to look and see me still too long, please feel free to check to call and see if I'm still upright.. ha.
