10/2 track day

Did anybody else go? It was fun, if a little cold in the morning. I've been Triumph-curious for a while now, so I rented one to see if I would like it. I liked it

Unfortunately, I managed to get sunburned, even though it's October. At least I didn't run out of gas (thanks for reminding me to fill up, Celeste).

Glad you had a good time. I was wondering if you rented a bike or not. So far weather is good although it is supposed to rain tomorrow after 12.

Glad you had fun out there though I would have preferred that you ran out of gas for consistency.

Hope the weather holds for the races! Stubby, you'll have to share your tips for keeping warm on the track.

LazyJ was right about the MMP track days--sometimes it felt like I had the track all to myself (see the pictures below). Oh, and it's fun running the straight in the 150s (indicated) instead of struggling to reach 115

I thought somebody dropped a quarter on the track and I was going to pick it up.
