  1. Started racing 5 years ago with the MRA (Colorado). First year as a Novice got 6th on an F3. This was my favorite bike, did not matter what I did it would bite back. Got an R1 and won the Amateur Championship. Moved to expert and built the R1 into a FX Bike and started racing the Open Class (5th overall) as well as FX in the AMA (finished top 15 in the FX races) I will be racing in the MRA in all races, 5 AMA Superbike races and 1 Canadian Superbike race. Should be fun. I am still not as fast as Will unless he is riding my scooter and I am riding my 1000. TRAV
  2. I was racing at Pikes Peak in AMA Superbike. Coming out of turn 2, I look back and see Nicky. I drift to the wall and feel the bike move - "Oh no I just hit Nicky into the wall" is what I thought. Nicky goes by, backs it into 3 (tire smoking of course)and takes off. I am in the pits and he comes up. I am ready to get an ear full and he smiles at me and say's " Did you feel that?" Me - "Yes. I am so sorry I thought you would go under me" Nicky - " No Man. I grabbed your boot and gave it a shake on the way by" Nicky did that while we are going about 120mph, full tuck, leaned slightly over and wishing to not hit the wall (well at least I am). It is cool when the best guys in the world still screw around.
  3. I think the answer is what is steering to you. If arcing a bike around a football field is steering then you can steer a two wheeled machine with your body. If steering is slamming it into a corner faster than you can imagine then the only way is to CS. If you think the first way then let the wind take you in the direction you are looking for because it will be just as effective. When racing it takes a tremendous amount of physical effort, why work harder than you need to when all it takes is a push.
