Thanks all for a fun, rainy, soggy, wet Monday practice. I got to know Brian better & somehow managed to wound my ttr on the last session of the day. Hopefully, we'll be back in shape for this weekend. Dunno how, but we managed to intertwine my throttle cable with Brian's foot peg.

Yes, that's the ass end of my ttr hanging in the wind.

Sweet pics and am glad you came out free of injury....must have happened after I left :p

Which brings me to this.......am I such a wuss for not staying around and riding it out.....literly?!

I just didn't want to crash and risk injury. Secondly, I didn't want to saturate my leathers......I'm sure it would be a bugger to get into by the weekend for Race 1........assuming I went regardless of weather/track conditions. And lets face it, my YSR wouldn't take a crash as well as a tard would.....in regards being built/mfgr'd for that type of abuse.

Now thinking about it, I'm mentally beating myself for not staying around..........only if I had something to cover my leathers (garbage bags). I should have stuck around and attempted to build my confidence in the rainy conditions. But then, most likely I would have eventually gone down........confidence = faster riding = crashing.........as Brian had demonstraded :p Tho' I give him props for keeping up a good pace in these conditions on the XR100 :thumbup

Which then brings me to this question, If I were to race in these conditions, would we be allowed to wear such garments (garbage bags) to shield us from the wet conditions?
I ask cause I don't own a rain suit, nor have the spare money to afford one at this time and am sure that I am not the only one in this boat.

and for all the smart arse comments, I reply you with this :twofinger 100X....................:p

Hope you feel fine this morning. (you didn't have to throw yourself in front of him, I'm sure he would have talked to you in the pits) :p

Ah, the ugliness of getting one's throttle cable stuck in another's shifter. Compromising positions...

Luckily, my bum just skimmed the track so I didn't feel a thing, but my bike ..... :cry

Daren, check out REI's winter clearance sale going on right now. I racked up on UA, neckups, & climbing shoes.

The where (got a link), the what?.......lol Not familiar with store or the apperral you spoke of = clueless :cry and wonder if the shoe's would be eligable to wear during a race day?

And I thank you for the suggestion. I'll have to check the place out.......assuming I have one in my local area :p

Is the Brian you refer to #43 Brian Edginton?

Yup. Having a AFM racer stalking you to practice passing in the rain is rather flattering. :laughing

Sorry for the mis-spelling, Bryan.

Yesterday was fun. We only crashed once each.:loco
Forcast looks like the same for this weekend.
Jordan and I are ready!

AS far as the flip crash... I was part of the effect, not the cause.:twofinger

Kenan: Come out and Play. We need more AFMers.:teeth
