Holy crap you guys have those bikes rediculously far over! I knew John could get the bike leaned like that, but I'm really REALLY impressed you got the GSXR that far over on the first day you road it. That is a true testiment to your skills David. Amazing.:cheer:

Hey Louis, I did not know you had done WS already! When did you go?
I loved 3 and 4a, but I never got 4b down perfectly... that double apex deal on 4 was just too much for me! I finally understood the proper line at the end of the day...
My favorite was turn 1 and 3...

Thanks Rob! I was surprised myself when I looked at the pics, my form ain't that bad!
The bike makes a HUGE difference though... it was made for that very application and felt VERY stable and compliant no matter what I would throw at it... the FZ or Buell obviously don't have these "race" ergos and make it harder to look good and achieve proper form... :rockon:

wow, here is a reminder that track or streets, our sport is dangerous and should not be taken lightly!
Turn 8 is the turn I was talking about earlier, i.e. I was going around it at 125mph when ppl were passing me at 140-150mph... crazy that this happened 2 days after we were blasting through that track.........
RIP "Pancho Spain"...

I still have not figured out what is more dangerous, the track or the street. They are both very dangerous...that's for sure.

Yeah...the weekend I did Big Willow, they told us that the week before, an expert level rider target fixated, went straight off turn 8, through the fence, off one aquaduct ledge & head first into the other. Very sad.

I feel safer on the track.

I personaly have always felt safer at the track with corner workers, other track workers , medical people at the ready . At the same time its a trade off with the speeds and other bikes on track that could take you out

LOL yeah, that's a good title for it... there were a few ppl in group B who were blowing by me in turn 2 and 8 (Loooooooooooong sweepers) early in the day... There were less and less of them as the day went by :rockon:
