Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have

Jim. S, I was AMA but that was a few moons ago and many many crashes. I still try and do a track day at Laguna Seca now and then. I am not be very fast anymore but I look good in my Doohan replica ARAI helmet...

The YSR is awesome. I used to scream around my block on one. It is so fun just getting the knee down and pretending I am actually fast...

Tboooe,

That's so cool. Laguna is classic. I'm in the Midwest, and while I've been to Laguna, I didn't get to ride. We were before your time. I quit in 94.

I'm with you on rides, I liked the FZR400 the best. No, I loved that bike.

Thanks to a suggestion by my wife, who used to show horses professionally, I "steered away" from counter-steering. Steering by rotating the hips and tensing the inner thigh allows for much better control--especially at higher speeds--than does counter-steering. We used to run a motorcycle dealership, FWIW.

My wife's favorite T-Shirt says "Does this motorcycle make my butt look fast?"

No honey, your butt looks perfect! Repeat after me, No you look good in/on everything/anything.

Jim S., Yes LAguna Seca is an incredible course! I got to rige on it right after they re-paved it and it was an amazing experience. Going down the corkscrew is something that has to be experiencsd. I have no idea how the racers' bikes do not bottom out the suspension. On the opposite end of the spectrum was my expeirence at Brainerd in Minnesota. That really is a "road" course. The uneveness of the surface made riding fast a scary proposition, not to mention the different surfaces on the track. Those AMA racers have bigger you-know-whats than me!

BTW, i used to the the FZR600. Rock solid chasis. The 400 was defnitely a classic for us wanna be racers.
