Re: [ST] Thoughts on a Track Day

["Joel Ashman" <ashmite@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Matt,

It sounds like you have a blast.  I want to try this, and the local State
College folks have one planned, but my vacation days are all planned out and
I've burned through my sick leave already this year, so it's no go for me
this year.  Next year though!

It also sounds like a great place for me as I'm one who doesn't have enough
courage (and the ST never really inspired it for me) to push hard in the
turns.  On my dirt bike, it isn't a problem, but I just can't seem to get
over the thought of loosing it on a corner.  Following someone helps, but
I've had a a$$ handed to my by my buddy on his Tiger in the turns.

As for the suspension on the ST, I think I have that solved by replacing the
suspension (and the rest of the bike bits) with a new Speed Triple.  Now
that inspired cornering confidence.  My brother is buying my ST this summer,
and I've promised the wife to wait until 07 for a new bike (hey, I made it 7
years without buying anew steet bike!).  And my dirt bike will soon be
street legal to help finish out the season.

And by the time the 07's are out, VW should have announced whether the GX3s
will be real or not.
