2 1/2 hour drive, which turned out to be a bit longer...and REALLY messed us up when we figured out there is a time difference between the west coast, and New mexico...track is called Arroyo Seco, located east of Deming, New mexico.

The drive there wasn't bad, left early, and it was nice and cool. The drive back sucked, traffic, and tons of 18 wheelers...BUT...stopped in deming, and met a nice girl at the restaurant we ate at...pics of her to follow...


Adrian, We pitted next to him, super nice local, and was VERY quick.



Forgot his name, super nice guy from Europe like me..though he's German, and I'm not. hah!


The daytona, looking bad *** as usual.



using all of my front tire...bitches!



The mighty SV...which severly lacks straightaway speed, but BLOWS me away in the corners.....



Using that entire Pilot power...


paying 70 bucks to fill the tank.



The one pic Mike took of me..and it's upside down.

Oh yea...and the girl...Ashley, young, 19...After she gave me her myspace, I quickly found she has a boyfriend...hasn't stopped me before.



pic off her myspace...



daytona all taped up....




Left my cam at home...so I was stuck with my Iphone for all of these..which takes great pics for me!

action pics? And if you're using all of your front tire then you're not leaving yourself enough lean angle credit (Keith Code ftw). Plus I see leftover on it anyways. Glad you had fun and no accidents.

I really am not worried about going fast or using all of my tires. I just post that to stir **** up.

I couldn't take action pics with my Iphone..I was too busy riding.

Your Daytona should perform MUCH better in all aspects over that SV. I just think you may have to work on your turnin speeds a little and I think you will revise your statement.

SV650 is lighter and is capable of carrying LOTS of corner speed. Anyone who underestimates one is a fool. There's a reason almost every racer I know recommends the sv650 for a starter track bike.

I'm there to have fun, not be a squid and ride over my head like you do. Nor am I there to get into fights and go to jail like you.

I went to the track to enjoy my bike, the track, and the ability to go 125mph on the straight away, and not worry about traffic or the police. If turn in speed was something that mattered to me, I'd be on a track bike.

Glad you had fun. Using all of your front tire doesn't say too much, but kudos to you for doing it? I'd like some more info on the track itself, plus any action pics if you've got em. What organization were you with? How would you rate them? What group were you in (if A/B/C format applies)?

I'm glad you're on the track, but what's with the petty pokes at other members?

You'd deal with a lot less ridicule on here if you would learn to shut your face sometimes and do less "stirring of the pot". Just a thought.

Track is Arroyo Seco..I will find the video of Doug Chandler on the track...

No organization, No format, open track, paid for a half day, rode nearly a full day..55 bucks. I went through a tank and a half of gas.

lolz! i think i just lost what little respect i had left for you. you're a typical attention *****... run your mouth, bash on other peoples bike of choice, and riding abilities... all talk, yet has nothing to show for it, or back it up.
to you and making yourself feel better.

That's dirt cheap, but sounds fairly dangerous. Was there a riders meeting/info session for first-timers?

Also, any response to this?:

Yea, there was a meeting. They don't let first timers on the track.

I like to poke back, that's all.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to take action shots of myself, while I'm riding...LSD..let me know when you figure that one out.

it goes way beyond action shots. lol.
now that i think about it, i don't think you need action shots when making comments like "using all of my front tire... bitches" is worthy enough. you're a champ!
