21689, Did another track day on the busa...
Posted by cougar694u, Mar-05-07 07:10 AM
Man, it's a blast. The only guy taking pics was outside the tire wall at T17, so there all pretty much the same angle:

My brother is behind me on his 04 750:




Lookin at the camera, leaving T16 about to enter T17 (basically becomes one long turn):


That thing was nuts this time around. I couldn't ever got WOT because it just wanted to launch. I'd roll on and it'd start to lift, so I'd just shift and keep going. When my brother was behind me, he said an R1 passed him and stayed on my ass in the corners and try to pass on the straight. I never noticed, but my brother said he sped up, got close to passing, then I just walked away like nothing, LOL!

I had a blast, and still need to get my pics off my camera...

It's hard on a 520 pound bike with a 190/50 on the rear that's been raised 1". It is possible, but this was only my second time on a track.

Duh, I'm in San Antonio, and that was MSRH, LOL!

I'm not sure when I'll be able to go again. I probably shouldn't have spent the money for it now anyway, I just wanted to.

Have you ever been on a track? MSRH is nice, but fairly technical. TWS is more open and flowing (never been, but cannot fuckin wait!).

I think the next track day I'll hit will be TWS in College Station.

That's the medium sized pic. It took at pretty high resolution:
