ive been riding on the street for less than 3 years (since i was 18 almost 19, im 21 now). i rode somewhat 'spirited' on the street my first and second year, but nothing near like on track, im not 'that rider'. all last year i rode pretty calm, and a matter fact, i didnt even really ride that much from july till current. ive had the bike for over a year now and it only has 8k miles on it. i put 18,000 on my sv650s in a year in a half.

ever been to road atlanta? id like to run out with you and do a track day sometime this season, you interested?

all the pictures that i dont have my hoodie on, those were friday, my first day there. the ones with the black hoodie were from saturday or sunday. i did 2 days at VIR, and i did those 3 days at Road Atlanta. thats all i have on the track/

man, it was 30 degrees in the morning sessions every day. it was cold as shit. i only did 4 laps on saturday morning because neither myself, nor my tires were functioning worth a shit. the morning session on sunday we were running a decent 1'45 pace which was decent. of course that dropped down the the 1'39 range by the end of the day. just need to take it easy the first couple laps to get some heat in the tires and brakes. also remember that your tires might have some heat, but the track is still cold as shit. dont focus on getting your knee down.. you focus so much on doing that, that you mess up your lines and what your doing on the track. the first time mine when down it scared the shit out of me because i wasnt expecting it... it just happened. especially in cold weather like that.. you dont want your tires sliding out on you and you cant react because your focused elsewhere. my first sessions i could feel my slicks sliding both front and rear around on the first couple laps, even with tire warmers...

the pictures.. i dont know if pics of you would have pictures from summit since they were at Atlanta. they may have more than one truck? it seemed like a small business though. im sure someone was there taking pictures though.
