            Enjoyed 7 sessions @ the Ridge Motorsports Park on 5/1. Completely dry, thou, first session was 46 degrees.
            Coldest track day I've ever been to.

            Could've done 5/2, but weather was questionable @ $209 american & a stiff leg was giving me the business.

            Had a friend, who missed last year due to shoulder surgery, who signed up for both days well in advance & reaped the rewards on 5/2...
            Only 18 people total for 3 groups on Monday. What?

            I hung around on 5/2 for a bit to support my friend with his new bike, (known since 4th grade) who just picked up a 675 Triumph track prepped, after battling with an 01 TL 1000S I sold to him, many years ago.

            Rain overnight stopped @ 8:15 am, right during the morning riders meeting. Track was completely dry by around 11:00 am, with only 18 people total riding it.

            First session (wet), was a singular gal (control rider) on I think a GSXR 1000, riding all by her lonesome for 30 minutes. No one else bothered to go out.

            Had the whole track to herself.

            It's pretty cool feeling to rail around a track with no else around. Indescribable really.
            GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

              Are you using tire warmers in those temps or just taking it easy for a couple laps?
              Having the track basically to yourself must have been a blast.

                No tire warmers, just Dunlop Q3+'s.

                My friend gambled on weather & it payed off big time for him, being a weekday with rain in forecast, very few people stayed.

                I did the day before...more people, but relatively light.

                Seems many folks use warmers & all the stuff needed to run them & their pace may reward them, but I rather chill in the pits after a session then fussing with them.

                    Had some things going on today, but managed to get out for an hour or so.

                    65degF, so saw a few other bikes.






                    Well, of the hour, okay, yah, was a couple roadside picture stops, and a 15 minute quick pier walk



                    I hope to get out for an all afternoon ride tommorow.

                              Ahh that's right the GSX-S1000GT should have been here already... I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of that!

                              It's a great feeling to roll a bike over into the 6 figure mark on the odometer! I just did the 100K mile service on the T120 the other day and went for a nice 200 mile ride with it afterward. No more big tourers for it, the Yamaha is far better equipped and more comfortable for the big miles, it's just a baby though still under 19K miles on the odometer.




                              Ride safe and enjoy that west cost ride!

                                Had a short morning ride, 50 degF, out for a pier walk and then out for coffee and then more of a short ride.


                                THen this afternoon, mid 70s, got out for a 3 hour ride north and back along the lakeshore.

                                THis just north of Muskegon, Mr. Greg78 area.


                                THis clser to Whitehall.




                                Maybe longest ride since getting it back together in November.
                                Good to get in some miles and seat time before BC in four weeks.
