Lightning write up - long

[jtaylor719]

Fast & smooth.

I rode there yesterday with NYC Ducati, thought it was coordinated with NESBA but we were all alone. Only about 30 people there, clear track all day.

Smoking fast track compared to NHMS (which is the only track I've ridden). Kind of intimidating at first, but I was getting more brave by the end of the day.

I need to ride other tracks more often. It took me far too long to get my shit together.

Yea was looking for you at thundebolt but I guess you were at lightning! I thought you were instructing with NESBA????

Nope, I'm a BCM and Fishtail instructor. This was arranged through NYC Ducati and I assumed they ran it with NESBA. You can see where that got me.

I heard you had about 45 riders in the advanced group yesterday. We'd be lucky if we had that for a total.

I felt much more comfortable on the tight, twisty stuff on that track. The mongo speed and liter bikes blowing by me didn't sit well. I kinda hung with them on the twisty stuff, but the big sweepers and straights were something else.

Ooh god, I'm fucked. And you're an instructor?? I'm bringing my trainingwheels!

And you're an instructor??

Yeah, this whole 'self-preservation' thing kicked in when I was in 5th gear tapped out on the front straight. I clicked it into 6th and ran out of track. Never had the old girl going that fast for that long. I'd need another day there to get my head into it.

My cornerspeed sucks too. Maybe I should just race flat track.....

I will say Kyle at BCM did a bang up job on the new map. Damn it ran nice, and pulled like a friggin tractor all the way up the tach.
