Best part of the timer is that it doesn't care how cool you think you are! haha

I've been sending weekly notes to the painter who's doing mine. At least it's just vanity for mine, don't really need bodywork for trackday. Racing, you gotta have it! Good day at MidO yesterday. Perfect weather, really open track. Felt good to be back on the Daytona, and yes, all the pistons left in nearly the same condition they arrived. Nice to meet @jhughes and share a pit. Can't wait till next time.

Little rain over the weekend. Short 998 mile ride into the mountains of WVA and VA.

Data is huge in making improvements.

Meh, best was a 1:49. Seemed like I was 1:50 most of the day. Top speed at the limiter before the kink was 137. Data tells me I'm a weenie through turn 1 and headed into madness for sure. That's where I'm going to focus next time, lots of ground to make up elsewhere obviously, but had a blast on the first day of the year.

Fuck that place, it sucks.

Nuts to butts while holding the timer.

Kevin got some pretty baller metrics from his AIM for you, Jacob Sector times, good/bad spots where you are gaining/losing time each lap, etc. I kind of want one now.

I'd guess mid 60s to start? Immediately felt great.

This is what they look like leaving my machine. Just stacks and stacks of corrugated board. They goto another machine to be cut, folded and printed.

Some Dunlop crap, many folks been switching it outright. I am gonna run it as much as possible before gap trip and possible change right before.

Put down 425 miles in a little over 8hrs. Pretty good day for my first real ride this year. 800S from 22 to 26 pretty much sucks. 26S was good all the way to 260N. 260 was in good shape heading north to 145. If you run 260S watch out for a dip just before getting to 26. Random photo on 260 or 145 It was great to run into @NinjaDoc He’ll tell you he doesn’t remember how to ride, but if you get him on 164 he pretty much goes back to his old self.

Yeah, she is a piece of shit, too.

At least you have a nice machine sitting there ready for your escape if even around the block. I sometimes come home, hop on the bike and ride a 5 mile loop, hop off and get busy on chores. Just get out when you can. What tires came on it stock?

Harbor Freight. I think it was about $179. I keep my trailer and a bunch of other stuff in there. I think they have a smaller one for a little less that might work well for a bike.

I keep my trailer in the garage too. Mainly because its a harbor fright trailer and the elements would not be kind to it all. I engineered a winch and a couple of pulleys to lean mine against the wall out of the way and keep space clear for other stuff.
