Life isn't all about flying...redux

Sulako over on Sulako's Blog had a recent yummy post about his foodie interests that might be considered even more dangerous than aviation.

In that spirit, I will share some pictures from a "hobby" of mine that is both exciting and not without risk. This is a shot of me on my (almost classic/vintage) 1995 CBR 600F3 navigating turn 8 aka "Madness" at Mid-Ohio raceway at a track day in June. This was my third track day (2nd at Mid-Ohio) and I have two more planned for this summer. It is absolutely, without any doubt whatsoever, the most fun you can have on two wheels.
Even though there are not many instruments to scan, I find it a bit like my IR training... set the condition, verify the desired performance. Brake to corner entry speed, get the knee out, establish the turn, make adjustments with throttle (not too much!, scrape your knee puck a bit, look for your exit point, and roll out on your new heading :D
