That was superb! It almost made me cry that I have to get through another crappy winter until we can get back there again.

Here's video of CBRVFR railing on the TZ250, dicing it up a bit with CBR929RE. Right-click and save, as the high-res file is over 200 MB:

And here is the low-res version on YouTube:

I want to thank everyone for the help offered.
I wanted to ride many of the bikes you guys offered me but my right hand thumb was a bit messed up. I tried to ride cbrvfr's SV and had to get out of the track cause of the pain. NorthernRR's motard seemed to agree with my thumb much better.
Again, thanks to all.
Crash and all, I still had a great time.

And here is the low-res version on YouTube:

yeah "dicing" that's what I'd call it. It was more like "oh man I passed Dave, sweet" followed later in the lap by "when's he gonna pass me back and check out?" turns out he said he was just warming up the tires, I think that was just to make me feel better.

yeah that was a good one. Except coming into the bus stop when I couldn't help but think "where's Seamus going?"

HG2 and myself kinda almost exchanged paint, it doesnt look bad on camera but sure seemed closer from my POV, I think Seamus went wide to avoid us both?

J, how in the hell did you crash there?

Cell phone, texting, sleeping ?

Just never seen a bike there before.

That's really what he told me! I'm looking forward to see his answer. I went down 2 or 3 laps before him. He saw me and thought he should probably stop since he was tired. Then, well, we all know what happened

I am not doubting you, but I had to look at that pic a while to figure out where he crashed. Just never seen or heard of a bike ending up there. If he was fatigued, that would make since though.



He still needs a sticker.

does this mean he will have a turn and a gravel pit named after him?
