    Glad to hear you and Wayne are okay. What a scary way to start the trip! Sounds like other than that and the rain (bummer!) you had a great track day!

    I put a few more in my Photobucket album (go to the Photos link in my signature line), a few more of 88, some of 50 and 64. I only photographed for maybe a half an hour and all from the straightaway. Here's one of a friend of mine, too.

    Glad you were not hurt!! I always feared hitting deers and moose at night when I drive to or from Canada on I-91 North...middle of nowhere, nobody around...could take a while before help is on it's way. I'm just glad you guys made it to the track and we got to meet!

    Me too! After that experience there's a few things I'd do differently - one of them is have a flashlight in the car at all times and probably road flares if they are safe to carry in the vehicle. I rode my bike on backroads for a while today but was on high alert for deer and moose. Another thing to be grateful for - that we didn't encounter it on the bikes.

    We are in the Burlington area! You are welcome up anytime! We have bike night every Tuesday 6-9pm and a big end of season BBQ on 10/18.

    Maybe next season we can meet somewhere in between and ride around.

    When Wayne told me the Moose story I was in disbelief! An incident like that and you guys still make it to the track!? Awesome.

    Hope there are some pics of me in there.

    Sorry I couldn't get your guys attention to show you some stuff on the track. I got in front of both of you, looked back and tapped my tail but you never followed.

    Both your lines were good, just work on getting off the seat a little.

    Re: Lean Angle 10/2 Trip

    Thanks for your concern! It was a scary incident for sure.

    I looked through my image files but I'm not sure there are any of you, do you have snapshot of what you were riding and wearing that day and I can look again? I only shot for about half an hour for a C Group session and part of an A group session.
