I've been on the grass on turn 1/2 twice, not on the tard so i kind of back of the throttle way too early, i need to get used to that turn again and the tard gearing. Is a long track for the tard but still a lot of fun.

hitting the transition from the banking on to flat would make me pucker little

I haven't been there in a couple of years (high sided myself into retirement at TWS), I sure miss it.

punkinhead great avitar!

not sure if the guy with the d16 could ride very good,seen him missing shifts and hitting the rev limiter coming on the front straight.i shot buy him a couple of times.just too much money i guess.killer bike though.had exhaust under the tail and out the lower right fairing.

Great video and audio track!

I grew up there. The last time I was on that track was on 4 wheels. Totally lost it in the grass on the backside. I've never done so many 360s, so fast, in my life. Grass was wet! The last bike I rode on that track, an RD 400. Ok, now I feel ancient!

I moved from CS about 25 years ago. I had no idea the track was still operational. I'll have to get my HM down there and take my Dad out (still lives there). At 73 he's still into bikes!!

Thanks for bringing back some memories.
