Nope can't get it to download at all, maybe you've got to be a member? Anyway I couldn't stop laughing when I saw your post, (Iknow that sounds cruel but there's a reason) and almost busted a gut when I read what he had to say. You don't have to spread this around but; I didn't see the crash but as I said I know the guy that was running the newbie day there, he's one of the regulars at the track and there are always 2 sides to everything. The guys post said he was doing really good and the bike felt great right? Well according to Russ from the very first session he went up to him and said, "you need to calm it down a bit, your riding a bit over your head." "Ok sure I'll slow down." was his response. Second session new instructor tells Russ, "that guy's riding like a maniac and is going to crash." Russ tells the instructor go talk to him try to slow him down, same thing. Next session different inst. again, "That guy on the 636 is going to hurt someone, he's riding out of control." Russ tells inst. 3 to talk to him yada yada. Session # 4 another inst. same comments and another talking to. Session 5 CRASH! That's why I had to laugh a little bit when you posted this, SMALL WORLD eh?
HI, im the Guy with the 636 and Your buddy "Russ" never said one word to me and I have no idea whom he is? The only Instructor I talked with about my riding was "Skip" and not only is he very fast but he is also a Nice guy. "Skip" and I talked only after my Session two about me trying to be more smooth and about my shifting problem (I had to adjust my new rearsets) Please dont spread Mis-Information if you have no idea what your talking about!
Maybe he is talking about someone else?

No problems here Eric, I'm fairly new to the track myself and know about foot problems, (not like yours but tendon issues). I can't believe no one told you about turn 8 it's a bitch man. That's why you see all those gouges from foot pegs and tire marks. I'll be easy to find I'm usually the only red Superhawk out there. I'm no expert but I do know the track fairly well if you've got any questions I can answer I'd be more than happy to.

LUCKY!!!
Haven't gotten to play on a track for over a year now, and even longer if you don't count drag racing
This year for sure! Finally got the necessary parts so I can tow behind my MR2. Just need the weather to clear up...
