Quit the job. They have openings right now so they will happily take you back tomorrow and probably renegotiate for more money. I will ride the gs500 and you can take the 919. :idea:

One of the 3 sisters, the older one I think, gave him something and the bike died after he got off her.

Should have bought a Triumph. Or a Honda. Or a Kawasaki. Or, well, anything but a GSXR.

The older sister bit the Triumph also though and one of the sisters friends tried to throw the triumph to the ground.

I went back and forth over and over on 407 trying to do like 'Ol Leathernuts says and visualize the corners from end to beginning. On the way back avoided an instrument case that came out of the back of a work truck which was very similar to a situation outlined in Leathernuts' Twist of the Wrist vol 2 DVD. Identified a constant radius corner with increasing camber and figured out why I can ride that corner faster in one direction than the other. Over thought a whole bunch of other crap too. Gawd I can not wait for track day. So nervously excited. Now I am drinking a glass of Coke Zero and Windsor Canadian blended whiskey, a connoisseurs whiskey (says so on the label) so the panzer is put away for the day.
