Sunday...sunday...sunday!  Race fans.....hot rodders!  We have to sell you the whole seat but you'll only use the edge!

Seriously gonna put a hurtin' on the Steamer on Sunday and hopefully get closer to wearing out these horrid Conti Trail Attack tires.   :roll:

I'm sure there will be pictures and video.  And lies, lies, lies! :lol:

Taking the Shiver out there also, gotta have a little fun, right?

Wish me luck! :D

What a kick in the ass!  Had no idea what El Bastardo Verde is capable of.

It's amazing.  The old 885 some how comes to life after 6000 rpm.  And you can fly past some sports bikes.  Which tends to annoy them somewhat. :D
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

I flew by a couple of 600's poorly ridden, but basically no one else.  I just hope the pig surprised a few folks out there. :lol:

It's amazing how far you can push before scaring yourself silly on the track.  I'll hold some back in reserve for the road, though.

Reached the edge of the front tire, but still lacking a milimeter or two on the rear. :wink:

The draggers on my boots now have real scratches on them and I don't need to get out the belt sander. :D

The photos were taken during the morning session when I was still scared of the track (23 turns, two elevation changes and three miles).  It took untill afternoon just to memorize my lines around the turns and I still got them wrong. :roll:

I felt really good last trip out, but alas..... :lol:

And I was hanging off the last go-round. :wink:   Just no pucks to drag-knee on, so I kept the knees up high.

My buddy Josh even showed up to kick my ass around the track just in case my other pal Mitch failed to do the same on the Shiver during the morning sessions:
