What's for dinner?
I think I'll be having some CROW tonight.
I took both bikes to Spokane for 2 days of track riding.
Spent the first half of day one on the 12 and did just fine.
Hopped on the 10 after lunch and it felt really strange.....till turn 2. AMAZING difference!!
So I rode the rest of the day on the 10 and rode till noon the next day w/the 10.
After lunch I decided to take the 12 back out for a while.
After 2 laps I had to come back in....I couldn't RIDE it!!!! I've been so used to the 12 and never ridden anything else for so long, I didn't realize how much work it is. It's mainly an issue with the stiff throttle pull and the jerky response. I could always hold my own in the twisties with the 12, but never realized the advantage everyone had!
I'm still hanging on to the 12 for street/touring, but it will NEVER see the track again.

Fish,.....you owe ME a beer. The 12 isn't going into the classifieds. It will still remain my main ride for the street. Maybe. :O

The guys that ran a 12R at the Le Mans 24hr said they could have won if there were no turns.
