Return to an old stomping ground....





Rvl’s Pick:

The Wind Blows (Steve Aoki Hurricane Remix) – All American Rejects



A kind invitation sometime last week ended up with me going back down memory lane to a past lifetime. The fellows from the local shop were throwing a track day for customers and Ducatistas before things slow down for the Fasting month.


I have to say although I am familiar with all the nooks and crannies of this track, this would be my 1st attempt going through these asphalt on 2 wheels. Cornering speeds and lines didn’t alter much, but what got me were the braking points, undulations, and body positions coming in and out of turns. Needless to say I was getting everything very wrong.


Since nobody kept track of laptimes, I wouldn't have a clue on what I did nor was I interested in finding out. Next time I’m applying “race mode”, providing the tires are still up to the job. Kudos and thanks to Steve TT and the White Devil for awesome pointers.
