Track Day Photos

yeah, the guy on the 600RR never gave me any trouble ... i'm just impressed (and jealous) of his skills ...

anyone know how to get a hold of him?

The lap timer I saw was showing 1.12, but the fellow said that wasn't him, he was turning likely high teens - 1.17-1.18. Damm.

All I know is the 1.5 seconds of video I have of him does not describe the speed that he came into T3, and then ripped over hill into T6 passing everyone (5-6?) parked over the race line, only to brake hard into the tightest T6 I've seen, then nail it and was gone. I was impressed. :drool:

Interestingly, he was never a concern from me as a rider. The two guys dicing around (one on a kawi zx??- green anyhow) that passed close enough to me on T9 so that I decided to dump the throttle rather than be Gibernau sand trap material.....well, if you're listening,
if you want to prove your capabilities just go out with one of two instructors and see if they think you're all that. :twofinger:

Joe is a great rider. He's very fast, but usually very mindful of other riders.

HAAAAH! I've got my eye on you, Rene.... i'm watchin you

:lol: i remember glancing up there for a split second to see if it was you or not... guess you got me just at that moment

There are about 3 or 4 other guys that glance up also. Next time I might wear camoflage. I am ready for motogp now.

My friend has one of them sweet camera jobs like Half squid was using at the track yesterday, and hes buying a lense similar to that one. He said he would come up when I do my track day and take pictures of me...yay!

The best part about the red group, the group I will be in when I do my track day, was that all the riders were holding on for dear life through each turn, and the instructors were one handed the whole course, even in the bowl.

Of course it will be a lot different when I'm in the red group shitting myself when I'm going 25 mph through the bowl.

:hellyeah: Great shots, Rene, thanks for showing up again to shoot! You've got an excellent camera and seem to catch a good angle for shots, there are a lot of me from many different angles in there and it really helps to be able to go back and critique yourself in the various turns after the trackday.

Now when are we gonna see that dashingly good looking bike of yours on the track with us? :poke: :D
