Track Day at VIR with Cornerspeed

By -






I finally got out and took the cornerspeed school at Virginia International Raceway. I passed the written and now I can get my WERA racing license. I plan to do it, but no way do I expect to race; these guys are FAST. I also got to ride on the back of Scott Harwell's bike. He's a retired Pro AMA racer and it was fantastic. Wheeling down the straights, hitting 150 mph, braking forces like you can't believe, accelerating in the corners and leaning over to the grass was really amazing. I'll never be that good.

ABioBikers West - 1st Ride to Alice's Restaurant

Well, the first ABioBikers West Ride to Alice's didn't go exactly as planned. We ended up at Alice's, but unfortunately our ride was a rental Camry. Don't ask. Scott, myself and Meredith (a totally awesome chic and forensic customer) drove up on Thursday, Jan. 29th and hung out with the bikers. It was a gorgeous day. The place was packed with the leather and tattoos folks eating some pretty bad food. But that's not why you go. It was quite nice in spite of the 4-wheels up and back. Thanks, Scott! Better luck with the next planned ride.

My New Bike BMW F800

By -

FINALLY! We went and got me a new bike today. We bought it in Charleston. Oddly enough, it was between this and the new Honda Phantom 750 (which I still like!). Of course Tuni kept going on and on about this one, and a man at the dealership (not an employee) looked at me and said "cruisers suck!" I hit him in the arm, but still ended up with this baby. Now I just have to go get my motorcycle license so I can drive it! So next year, I'll be riding the Smokies, too!! Whoohoo!
