Az Superbike training

Get em' geared up, didn't realized until I saw the pics that the leathers matched the bike.


Let's get this party started.


Whoopee, I'm leading.


It's on biotch, catch me if you can.


Out the way...I'm coming thru...


Corner's done time for the gas.


Right turn.


In the lead yet again.


Time for the slalom. After Hwy 125 this was child's play.



Braking practice.


Sorry no pic to the high speed stoppie, was a blast and I didn't even come close to flippin' it.

Had a great time, learned a lot.
Was so sore I could hardly walk the next day.

Strongly recommend professional training, especially at a closed course.

Gregg

Awesome Gregg -- great to see someone out there getting it done in Winter. That Buell is a sexy beast!! I bet it is a blast on the track, that torque has got to be so addicting coming out of a full-lean corner into a straight

Also, when out in the real world and not on the Buell website or other abstract location, the air ducts that everyone complained about being too big and obnoxious looking don't look bad at all, I actually kind of like them. That bike would look great in dark silver with red wheels, a la senna

Glad you had a great time, it's a real shame we don't have something like that close to us.

You love them and you couldn't live without them anyway.

Besides, they probably don't want to clean my house and wash my dirty undies.
