you know, now I really really want to race, I knew coming in I was the reserve rider if someone gets hurt. Still a big honor and big shoes to fill for the 3 time world champion Stephane Mertens, just very happy and just turned my whole night stint within .5 seconds of each other on the data here. 1:49.1 to a 1:49.6 (5 or 6 laps lemme look?)
This modified R1200S is just awesome! Rev's stupid quick and just very very solid feeling, the faster you go, with the new adjustements it is very stable!
Hey guys, friggin first time with knee on the deck in 6th gear! lol
Turn 1 is just awesome now that I know it is gonna stick, again due to the ride height all agreed on being increased and some compression out of the front to get the front to bite and turn!
The headlights are perfect, the track is decently lit, but the back straight is very dark and only headlights at the top of 5th gear. The brake marker is to far off the track that I do not even use it in the daytime, no one does.
After the gear box comes the brakes, they are just unreal, getting way more feel everytime I ride the bike.
I gotta say the natives are getting wild. The campfire smoke covers the bak side of the track and is actually rather thick in turn whatever it is on the backside (right hander before the last 3 turns).
There are so many flashes going off as the BMW goes through the corner it is just awesome. Some seat time tomorrow and then we will take a back seat and hope no one gets hurt.
Thank you to my BMW XPLOR.com/Atlanta/Las Vegas/Morton's/Miami BMW race team and the our San Jose MotoST team for the great bikes that allow us to run up front and the support!
Time to get out of these oily leathers! lol
N8!
