I am.

I don’t know why. The last time I took an advanced rider’s course, a big girl scared me and I fell down.

My husband (RC51) and his BFF (some super KTM) are doing a track day, intermediate level. I was going to do a quick track orientation session for fifty bucks, but no. I’m taking the full day class. Luckily a friend is teaching and another friend is attending. I really need to get over fixating and staying on the throttle coming into turns. I’ll be on the 91 Hawk instead of the Duc, which really makes no sense since the Duc is already battered enough, but I can’t seem to muscle the steering as easily as I can on the Hawk. Plus, people might feel sorry for me and not pass me if I only have 50 HP. Hmmm, maybe I’ll bring the Duc for backup.

Hopefully we’ll have a whole new front end by Sunday: brand new CBR forks (thank you, DA!), clip-ons, new rim and brake and just waiting for a master cyclinder and some Water Wetter, Whatever that is.

See you there!

I really would love to see BIN become a bigger national draw, especially if the new owners could construct a dark cloud over the track. Or a retractable, perforated roof with MotoGP races projected on it.

And just a hint of a screed yet to come: When are they going to feature half-time shows with the bauble-head candy cane umbrella stands during the line-up at MotoGP races ? I’m not talking about pole dancing or cheering, I’m talking about 40 laps in Joe Rocket pink chap and faux carbon fiber thongs. They have to wear whatever they wore for their last Kustom Kruiser photo shoot. It wouldn’t be hard to get them to do it: just explain how much weight they’d lose.

Hrmph.
