first track day at pocono east!!

I think the track officials heard me screaming in my helmet " THIS IS F@#$% awesome" .. most fun i have ever had. Bike held up well but I think my leathers were too snug since they dont have fabric through the inner thigh ( its leather) couldnt really get my knee out there.. I use metzeler M3's and they were like glue it was awesome. Going to Summit Main on the 27th and to JenningsGP in Nov hopefully.
Im hooked i can surely say that!!

Do you know if there are any classes running at Pocono? That's the closest track I know of and would like to take a full-day class or two.

Don't worry about getting your knee "out." When your body positioning is correct, and the amount of lean angle is right, you will touch your knee down easily.

Congrats on poppin' your track cherry!!

superhawk22 is an unknown quantity at this point
Ahh another track addict, nothing like it!! Get yourself some under armor type stuff and the leather won't bother you and it keeps your temp in check too. Like I said in the pm I think I'll be at Jennings on the weekend of the 23rd, would love to meet up with you or anyone else that wants to go.

I was really surprised how well my Superhawk did on the track. Granted, my suspension has been redone, but still- not bad for a bike that's nearly ten years old! It was also fun blasting around the track without worrying about pissing people off with my super loud Two Bros. exhaust. Sounded great at full song, and I noticed other riders could hear me coming upon them, big time. It's making it hard to let go!

Check with nesba or pro motion for classes at pocono. They have a schedule of when they come to town but I dont think there is a set school there. I was looking to attend one there next year with pro motion or go down to VIR for a class
