Update from jlnance: Pete does NOT have a broken shoulder. He does have some cracked ribs and a contusion on his head. The hospital is being safe and running more tests.

Both U4euh and jlnance love the 1125R. Nance said "it's fast . . . REALLY fast." Rubberdown is having a good time as well.

Yall say Hi to Shred out there at VIR!

He is one of the coaches/moderators out there on the track. He called and said he rode the 1125R in the parking lot last night and was giddy like a school girl!!

Final update from The Boy. No more mishaps with our gang. Rubberdown, U4euh and jlnance are tired, but I suspect they are also sporting giant grins from racing. Might have to give each of those boys a Badass button.

We suffer from the same disease Carlos and I think it's called something really bad. We should've been there.

1 - Because someone has to get paid around here!
2 - Not to mention what you'd walk back into when you returned.
3 - Other KNC employees post here!

Reality sucks doesn't it honey?

After the 2nd run. I switched to the 1125r after this and used Buell's tires.

My hardcore friend Bumblebuell.








She was the only person who had a question after the orientation: "Can I pass after turn 6?" She actually did pass people. She was the only Blast.

I'll eventually sit down and write about yesterday, but the first thing I want to say is Thank You Mike Warren. I didn't know I was going to be doing a track day when I rode up there, and ended up signing up as they were beginning a mandatory Novice riders meeting. Mike did all the track prep for my bike while I was in the meeting. I really appreciate that.

Luddy looks very tired in that pic. It had to be a rush. I am sorry I backed out.

Mike, I think he had just woken up, that was taken in the morning before I knew I was riding. After I signed up, I didn't have time to take pictures.

I'm sorry you couldn't make it. I was looking forward to talking with you. Thanks for the mail you sent me the other day btw.

I spent the most of the day at the hospital with Pete. Rachel gave up her track day as well to assist. It sucked! He's a good friend and needed help and will be o.k. in spite of some 5 broken ribs and soft tissue damage. He's going back to the hospital today for some further work.

Rubberdown, sorry to hear about Pete's accident. I know Pete is one tough dude, but broken ribs take a very long time to heal. I speak from experience. Tell him to hang in there, the first three weeks are the worst. Take care...

Jim called me about an hour ago. Pete is good. He is walking around and ready to do another track day.

I think this is Spike. I'm going by the fact that it's a Red Firebolt.

"Why did I not call in sick? Why? Why?"

I still have no answer for you or for myself. My wife's been questioning my intelligence for years and I can now, after 25 years, see her point.

I guess all I can do is buy one and show her how smart I really am.

Kristi,

No buzz-kills with that whole work thing

Hi guys,

Haven't checked in here in a while. Jim- great photos!

Mike- dang sorry to hear about Pete. I imagine he's a hurtin' dog about now.

So, Mike, the $40 question is whether you're ready to drop a deposit on an 1125R now that you've ridden one?

It is about time for Mike to get a new bike isn't it? Think he'll have one by March Badness?

Hey Track Day Nance, it was great that you rode! Jim Rainey also helped prep your bike. We were glad to help out.

That pic is Pete on the Yellow bike. I'm pretty sure that's Spike on the red Bolt. Spike was a real star! Great to see everybody. Next time I want enough sessions to learn the track. It's a great facility. The 1125R was great. The first one really buzzed the pegs at high rpms but they are pre-production bikes. The second one I rode was great and I was just starting to get comfortable on a sport bike again and was learning the track. Although it was my last session of the day before leaving for the hospital, it was a fun one. Spun the tire at hard lean going uphill to the right out of turn seven, pulled a wheelie through the corkscrew, got my knee down a couple of times. Coming through the kink on the front straight under hard acceleration is amazing. Thrilling!
