Looks good Josh. They let you on the track in jeans? I was under the impression that to do a track day you had to have a minimum of a one-piece roadcrafter or better (leather). I'm jonesing to do a track day but didn't think I had the gear.

Phone pic from quick solo trip earlier this week to Skyline Drive in Shenandoah region of VA. Rode up in low 60's on Sunday, got up Monday morning to 33 degree temps and sleet. Came down out of the mountains and rode home in low 40 degree temps and rain. Excellent trip despite the weather - crooked roads and mountain views cancel out cold and wet any day.

I like this one because it brings back great memories of a long ride on my Roadster, wearing the dirt from 13 states with pride.
There's no way I can just post
one favorite....

They are kevlar jeans, w/armore and I was riding class C, class A&B do require full suit.
What a bike, I rode 200 + comfortable mile in, took off my side cases, had an amazing track day and rode home. I love my R!
By the way it was with RedShift

They rock, I'm going to Laguna Seca for their day there.

Thanks for posting the link Josh. Sounds like it'll be a great time riding Laguna. I'm going to have to sign up for one of their events.

This was right at the end of my break in mileage (almost). Strangely enough the engine has never used oil, a lot to be said for breaking them in hard.
Don,
You forgot to obscure the license plate on the picture you posted -- now we all know.
