Lives for MotoX
Rode at Laguna yesterday with KATT and it was just an amazing day. Left the triple digit temps of Sacramento to enjoy the 70-80 degrees of Laguna Seca. There was a slight breeze during the middle of the day but I would never call it "windy". Despite a few crashers, my run group didn't lose a minute of track time. The track conditions were perfect as usual, Laguna is just a world class track. Blake Young was there testing the CRT bike that they hope to race in upcoming motogp races here in the states. He was fun to watch for the couple of seconds I could keep him in sight. E-boz was also there testing Brammo's e-racebike. Wow those electric bikes have gotten so much faster. I remember a few years ago the e-bikes were slower than a ninja 250... not anymore. I was having trouble hanging on to his rear wheel as he rocketed out of every turn. My 1k was a little faster at the end of the straights but the Brammo was a little faster out of the corners. Had a chance to talk to both Blake and Eric. Both were friendly, nice guys. Lastly, sorry to any riders out there that I may have startled with an aggressive pass. I was determined to finally break into the 32's and my fancy Qstarz GPS lap timer was telling me that it was possible if I could just combine my best splits into 1 clean lap. The Qstarz was also telling me that I was occasionally breaking Laguna's 140 mph speed limit through T1. Not bad but I still don't have the huevos to hold it WFO though there. I think the bike could handle it, not sure if I could. What a great day. Thanks Lance, Linda, and all the Keigwins crew.
