And that's why I made a lot of passes there, It takes balls of steel to go into that weird transition hot.

I got some of you buells coming out of 10 on the long sweeper to the front straight though.

I don't think I made a single pass in a corner all night come to think of it. I either outbraked or had more top end.

I was able to make a couple passes coming into turn one and I made a couple between three and four.

I did make a shameful pass of an RC51 in turn 10 coming into the long straight.

I think the rider just wanted to check out my ass.

He had the number 4 and What What on his back.

It's definately gotten back on the road more. I had very little interest in riding the Zuk. Not that it was a bad bike, because it wasn't...I just lost interest in it.

This bike is the exact opposite. I love every minute on the Buell. It's so much fun. I just pop it into 2nd or 3rd gear (doesn't matter which) and hammer it.

I have to take mine off for trackdays, it's in the rules... but I always leave them on for trailering, that's where I attach the rear tiedowns.

I'm going to have to figure something else out now that I have the track plastics unless I want to take the tail off...
I use canyon dancers and that's it. But the roads in New England are shit compared to out here. S-H-I-T!

You mean you only strap down the front of the bike into a chock?

If I did that I think the rear wheel would be hopping all over the damn place.

I'm not sure if the eyehooks I sunk into the bed of the trailer are at a good angle to do it that way... hmmm.

What I'd really like is to grab an enclosed dealie and get a couple of those pitbull trailer restraints in there

An enclosed trailer would be cash money.
