I want to thank Ed and the instructors at this past weekends Bargy school for all the help and instruction, and I especially want to thank Todd Clarke for letting me borrow his bike after the starter clutch flaked out in my SV. In spite of not having my race bike I believe I learned some new things and polished up on some other things. As an added bonus I got a ton of seat time on the ninjette, so if these other clowns step up and race these things I've got a head start.

Good job on the Race School.:beer: I had a chance to meet Ed two weeks ago @ Tally, SUPER nice guy. I wanted to attend that weekend school, unfortunately it is too close to Christmas $$$$$$ :down: When is the next one? February?

no problem Kurt, glad to do it. I was just hoping you were having fun on it, and NOT worrying about crashing the damn thing. Its just a race bike, and i really wouldnt have cared. :up:

Tray, i believe the next school is in Jan. at Tally (2 day), and if you already have your race license, you can do it as a "refresher" course for half the price. :up:

I appreciate that, Todd, but I just can't "ride it like I stole it" on somebody else's machine. It was a lot of fun, especially given it was my first time ever on a 600, first time with GP shift and first time with a quickshifter. Thanks again :up:

Good meeting you, and glad you didn't set anything on fire. :D

The weather really was perfect.

The weather was great. I'm glad I came out. I even got to ride a little.

Todd, I'll get that info for you tonight.

Had a great time myself. Didn't reach my goal time but gave up my lap timer 2 sec's short of it for the last two sessions. THEN I actually got some clear track. Oh well. Who was the control rider on #182? I enjoyed chasing him and realizing there were faster ways to go around the track. He followed me and gave me some good advice.

Had a blast ourselves. Was the second time riding since my back surgery in April and it FELT GREAT. Thanks so much to Todd,Randy,Suff, and Mr Lee Fields for playing with the kid. He had as much fun as I did. Thanks to Tony and Ed for letting me ride even knowing I probably shouldnt have but I needed it and what can I say. HELL YES it was fun. Will see you guys soon more than likely Jennings.
