                Hey thanks everybody!!!!
                I did not crash!!! Whew
                3 guys crashed, nobody hurt You could crash from just balk in a corner, so you have to be cool and tweak your way out of a mistake, and I had few every period.
                The big engine was so easy to manage, I was in 3rd the whole track!!! Nobody passed me, (well except when the coaches let people through and even then I was right on their as for the rest of the period.
                Lot of olde guys and a few foxy old gals too!!!!
                I bought the photo package from the track camera bug, so I'll post those later when available.

                    That is very normal. Once you touch a knee down you get a much better idea of how far over you are, but until you do it feels like a cliff you are dangling over the edge of. How did the bike work for you? With that big engine you probably had to make about 4 shifts a lap...

                        I only had to put it in 3rd! It's got the tallest gears on a bike I've ever ridden (92 GSXR1100 engine).
                        Riding with the others in a novice group, I can't be charging up on somebody's as.
                        When they let us go free for a couple sessions, I was using 3 gears, experimenting with 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

                            They said it was newly paved, I think they meant last year, and I remember that day (7-3-15) they said we were the 1st to ride on it.
