Thank you. Yes, that is my WERA number and it is legit. I only did two races this year and about 14 or 15 track days, all of which were at Mid-Ohio except for one. This was my first year on the track. I accomplished my goals in the races, I didn't crash and I didn't come in last. Two weeks prior to the crash I high sided around 80 mph into China Beach. That was my first and only crash so far. I would prefer to not do that again.
I sold the Honda a couple of months ago. Next year I will be on an 09 ZX6R. I won a free year of track days at Mid-Ohio so I plan on making the most of them.
Here is a photo of my two current bikes.

Hey, that's pretty damn cool. Point it up for 650b, point it down for 26".
Is that brake pad on upside down, though? What's up with that?

Since you asked, and since I don't know which specific opinion is requested:
1. You should do the 60 min test because it will be the most accurate, and if you follow up four or five days later with a 20 minute test, you can exactly correlate the ratio between 20 minute testing and 60, and then never do another 60 min.
2. Addiction may be descending, but if it is, I see it happening at a rate 43% slower than the road forum is descending. So comparatively, they will get to hell well before us. I am still working the math on when they will pass the train that left Tokyo 6 hours ago at 180 kph.
3. I miss the Addicts that were here when I stumbled in, but that is much like specifying your favorite SNL cast. With out experiencing them all, it is hard to know which error was the best error.
5. I still think datlas's problem is in the pawls. And even if it isn't, pawls is a great word to say. It really does not see enough action in day to day parlance.
4. I think Whooshie's posts make his butt look big. And it is disturbing how badly he wants to see Hummie in a tri suit.
6. My tablet misarranged points 4. & 5. In my opinion, I could care less. I could care more. Entropy for the win. I'd like to solve the puzzle, Alec.

I think I got a Christmas card from one of @rjones28 relatives. Well, maybe it was more like he and 30 other people signed a card that I received.... Either way, it's all good.

I have been riding a lot and with the recent rain, more time on the rollers and trainer. I did 4 hill climb races and a time trial in SoCal over the last couple of months.
I renewed my racing license and my racing age next year is double 6. Arn't racers that old my grandfather? Oh well. Time marches on.

Colorado is being sued by Oklahoma and Nebraska. That will radically change all my travel destinations in the future....
I crack myself up. It was not possible to type the above statement with a straight face.
