xcrament

If it has 2 wheels and a motor i want to ride it. if it had 2 wheels and a motor i will race it. a good friend races flat track motorcycles on a national level. i always kid around about taking one of beasts for a ride figuring i would spin a few laps on a practice track. nope. next thing i know im entered in an amateur race class with a some simple instruction and thrown to the wolves on his race bike. he was riding in two other classes that day so i really didnt want to crash his bike. kipper came along and rode another bike of his aswell and will verify that this shit is not nearly as easy as it looks. (note: all coaching and instruction goes right out the window as soon as you are on the starting line)

coach said i had the fastest most unforgiving bike on the track. great

“there is no front brake, put it in 2nd gear and EASY on the throttle” its that simple

this is my new pal ralph. Track photographer and easily the best guy ever.

this is his business card. with his “wife” he says

how its done

spread out…here come the idiots

dark and blurry i know

me and kipper on the final turn to the checkered flag. it was a photo finish.

easily a very addictive hobby. ready to go again. the amount of improvement from our first practice laps to our last race of the night was huge. i only came close to hitting a wall once. no broken bones. no broken bikes. thanks mark. where we racing this weekend?
