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!

Which might be a good reason to avoid the women’s only class.

I went back to do a story about Steve Bauman, the dreamy instructor. Took lots of pictures, especially of Scott, who did really well.

I know I’ll go again. I just need to schedule it in accordance with the moon or my horoscope or something. I need a hysterectomy if I want to continue riding.
