Bitter Sweet day today

I went to pick up my new to me sport classic biposto today, but on the way home I received news that a friend passed away during a track day at Jennings.
She will be missed and she was the one that introduced me to track days, for that I will forever be grateful.

It's terrible when we get to hear about a bike death on a forum. Especially on a track - which I always think of as a safer place to ride fast.

Even though only a handful of us will actually know the person, as bikers, it touches us all.

Condolences to family and friends, and may she rest in peace.

I know Natasha personally, and there are a few .ms members that were on the track with her when it happened. Facebook is gut wrenching today. I too hate hearing about any moto death, and I also though the track was safer. I figured I can post a video of Natasha and I trading some corners. She is the one on the Orange Bike and Black Leathers. 2:55 to 4:35 Has a great battle between us. Pass/RePass. She was very competitive and I will miss our sessions together.

Thanks to all

Thank you everyone for the condolences if you knew her or not. She was friends with everyone at the track and even as long as she has been riding I still see that first time spark as I had my first time at the track. I was supposed to see her this coming weekend for the NYC bike show and I wanted to show her my new SC sport 1000 cuz I knew she would get a kick out of it.

Thanks Papawheelie for that video. She is very much my inspiration for track riding and I will continue to do so because she wouldn't have it any other way.
