When we was outside after eating,You made a comment about how people think you would be on a cruizer.I thought you was one of them Harley guys up there.I didnt know I was standing next to yoru biike (the R1) it was funny.

My first North Run I had some issues with that area as well though, so I feel your scare on that one. : )
Was the kid from TR?"
When I came up to that same spot,I slowed down.

I saw 2 tire marks in the grass.Looks like someone took a short cut,any one want to claim them?

I'd leave a little room coming into the turns, my favorite part of a corner is braking into it/downshifting and throwin her down into the turn,
You and Matt gave me a crazy look when I was at the Hess/before Shamrocks,when I said I wanted to ride with the first group..
Im glad I didnt..

I need to learn the roads first,before I can take them faster.
A few hills,I was scared to take fast,cause I wasnt sure if I was coming up on a 4 way stop or what.

I have no problem staying with the slower croud for a few runs.

2250cc with 3 cylinders. That's 750cc per cylinder I like acceleration more than top-end speed, ~140 lb/ft of torque goes a long way towards keeping me happy

The kid that went down on the path were ken says he had some issues was from no where - his epic hospitalization was put in a thread on TSB though....he came to one of the TSB meets a couple of weeks ago at the Winghouse on hills, looked pretty effed up still......

It gets more and more comfortable every time I hit it though, kinda like girls... ; )
