My first track day at Miller....

So yesterday didn't start out so hot...it was raining cats and dogs and I was a little worried that the track day I had planned was not going to turn out so well. I ended up going into work for a couple of hours....hung out in my wet leathers..then I headed out for the track. By the time I got to the track the rain stopped and the sun started to shine..then by the time lunch was done and over with..it was a beautiful day!! I asked my friend Mike to come to the track day..normally he doesn't pay for track days cause he is an A.R.T. instructor...but he gladly said he would come and show me how to be smooth on the track. It was BRILLANT!! He showed me how to hit the apexes, where my body should be, when and were I should speed up and slow down, and finally...how to properly put my knee down. All of it was so amazing! He told me that I did a great job...and I said thanks but I still have a lot to learn. Because I do. Just cause I went out to the track..doesn't make me an expert...I still have and I still want to learn so much. I want to learn as much as they will let me. I also got to ride two up with Shorty from the Yamaha racing school..that was mind blowing as well...and super crazy fast. He also took the time to show me a trick or two about the track as well. :) Thanks guys for all of your help.

It has been a while but I am back....

Sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while...but in case you didn't know there is a lot going on in my life right now. I got a new car cause I have been seperated from my husband and I wanted a lower car payment. So I got the car I wanted in the first place...a Ford Fusion. It is fun.. I love my car. :) Also Ant and I have decided that we are going to get divorced cause we want to make sure we end this not mad or hating at each other....and end this as adults. We are moving forward so that we can move on. So that means we are putting our house up for sale if anyone is interested. Also...I have put in my two weeks notice at my job and now I will be working up at BWM/Triumph motorcycles of Salt Lake as of Sept 4th. I will be the Events and Marketing person. It will be hard and busy but I will enjoy it cause I get to talk and be around motorcycles all day. :) I will be working Tuesday-Saturday. It will be nice to have Mondays off work.

So with all of the sudden changes in my life...I am doing my best to stay positive and keep my head above water. It was nice yesterday morning....cause I had the best calming feeling..and ever since then I feel good about things. :)

675....

So ever since I have been out on the track...I have been ruined. That is all I want to do now...just ride on the track. On the 28th I am going to be out at Miller doing a track day. I am so excited for it. It is going to be the West track, which in my opinion I think the East would have been more fun...but at this point I will take anything that I can get. :) Thank you Triumph for having a track day. :) wahooooo

Weekend of Motorcycle racing...

So I pretty much spent the whole weekend at Miller. It was fun to see some of my friends race, including the two GREAT races Mike (Daytona 675) vs. Aaron (SV 650). That was pure entertainment if you ask me. They both put up a big fight, but I have reason to believe that Mike is a lot like the UFC fighter Silva.

Silva would like you to think he is loosing but then at the last min (or lap at this case) he comes in and distroys. So that makes me think Mike like to play the field a little bit...starts towards the back...then a couple of laps before the end..he starts to crawl up on the compettion. Then right at the last sec...BAM he takes out compettion...and at this point the compettion was Aaron....and at the last turn Mike got him!!! It was such a good race. We all just had a great laugh at it. Way to go Aaron for being able to retire the pink shirt and Mike for a great finish.

Name dropping...

Hello MANGO!!!

Did you hear..it is Friday!!

Friday starts the weekend, and this weekend should be so much. I am going to go to Miller on Sat and Sun to watch Aaron race, then Sunday night is the roast of The Hoff. I am not having people over for it anymore btw. But I am very much looking forward to watching it. ha ha

Last night I saw The Lion King broadway play and WOW it was the most amazing thing I have EVER seen visually. The puppets were remarkable! It was so fun and funny. I would love to go see it again. :) If get the chance to go and see it, you should!! I think I loved it more than I love Wicked. Yes I said it...I liked it better than Wicked! ha ha So go and see it. :)

Riding in the clouds...

Last Sunday I got to take an ART class...Advance Rider Training Course at Miller Motorsports Park. It was so much fun...we were only scheduled to ride the go kart track but right before lunch..they made an announcement that they were going to let us go on the big track. Not only did we ride the big track we rode the FULL track. Normally they only let you ride the west or east side of the track...but nope...it was the course that the World Superbikes race on. It was the highlight of my day...week....maybe even the whole month....or even longer. It was so fun.

The class was fun...it was nice and easy and like Mike says....smooth. No pressure to go fast and you learn at your own pace. Mike, Warren, Mango, and I forget the other instructor, were great teachers. I would reccommend anyone to take this class. THANK YOU MIKE!!! Thank you for letting me be your guest and giving me the chance to learn something new on my bike. :)

Say a word...any word....

I am completely speechless right now.....

Great weekend...

This last weekend I didn't think it was going to be as good as it was going to be....only because I wanted to ride but my bike was in the shop. But Casey wanted to go on a ride (bad week for him), so I woke up early Sat. morning and met him to go on a ride....I just rode the loaner bike which was a Street Triple R (still Triumph). It was fun...we just took our time and had fun with it....we were not in a big rush to go anywhere fast. Then came back to his place, met up with some friends and went to Hunter's and Justin's Birthday party (room mates, and they have close birthdays). We had so much fun there...We stayed till 2 in the morning. I didn't get home and into bed till 3:30am. ha ha Then Sunday since Ant was busy, I met up with Shawna, Nicolas, Sirray, over at Casey and Sydra's place and Sydra made us brunch at noon. It was so good!!! Then Casey and I were suppose to go ride Motard, but the half of the track was rented out for go karting. So instead we spent the whole day at the pool. Then we all decided to go to a movie...Inception. It was an ok movie but the more I thought of it, the more I like it! :) So other than Ant was busy and couldn't come and join us...it was a great weekend. Hopefully after labor day...THE BIG MILLER RACE for Ant...he will be able to come play with all of us. :)
