Went over to the Honda trailer, and struck up a conversation with a few of the mechanics. Cool guys.

Pretty interesting...guess Honda gives King Kenny RC212 engines, and he makes them swingarms..

Unbelievable how beautiful those bikes are.

Here's my friend Dave on his 06 R6. Only his second trackday, and he's ready for the 'B' group.

Here was a local fast guy, name on the back of his leathers was Corey. In a few pics I saw of him in the photo kiosk, he was dragging his ELBOWS around this corner...

Lastly, a Ducati 1098. Motor Cyclist was out testing 2007 model bikes, and passing people at will. Don't think for a second that those guys don't put the new bikes thru the ringer...cause they were MOVING out there!

Lastly........

If you're reading this....and you ride an RC-51 with a Ducati helmet....you need to move to the C GROUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guy was causing parking lots ALL DAY. Slow in the corners, fast in the straits, and riding all over the track. This was a common sight behind him most of the day. What a tard.

Great pics Mark!!!!! I had a blast riding with you. As soon as I get the R6 up and running again, we'll do another trackday. I'll try not to crash this time!!! BTW, I'm sending the helmet to Arai to get x-rayed and see how bad the damage is.

Glad to see and hear that you guys had a great time. I can't wait to get out there with all of y'all!

Matty - Sorry about our get-off, glad to hear that you're okay. Time to rebuild the R6 and make it even better!
