The NESBA track day yesterday was supposed to be a dial in session.  Instead, it was an exercise in frustration.  I missed a lot of shifts during the early session, and spent the next session trying a different shifter lever location.  It was better, but still awkward.  Then, my front brakes went away.  So, I bled them, bled them, and bled them again.  Better, but not great.  I adjusted the pegs again, but I think they need to go forward some more.  Then, during the first session after lunch, I started feeling a little better on the bike, but the radiator got holed and my day was done.  In stead of working on lines and body position, I ended up messing with the equipment for about half a day and watching for the rest of the day.  I can't wait to get back out there and finish sorting things out!


It could have been worse.  There was a guy who binned his SV650 and it burned to the ground.  Another rider was transported after something happened and he hit the airfence in a big way.  He is fine, but it sure keeps it all in perspective.
