A Friend Once Told Me My Vfr Looked Retarded

It's CROSSEYED! :goofy:



(I was doing some riding instruction for two new riders that weekend, and I figured I'd dress up the VFR for the occasion.)

The irony of those 3 pictures is that I'm pointing at the apex of one corner, and my student was still one turn behind me... whoops! :laugh:

If he was paying attention and doing things like he should (looking thru the corner and using his peripheral vision He should have made note of it in his mind to set up for it early and easier.. IMHO..

So no Irony here..

If I could see thru most of the corners around here I would be using the previous corner entry and exit for the next one.. If he has any knowledge of racing lines at all he wil know sometimes slower in 1 corner can mean faster on the exit of the NEXT corner..

Instructor?? cool Job???? must be a blast.. Sorry and please correct me if im wrong in the above statements but that has always been what I was told..

Ok, so you post pics of you on the track,,, nice helmet,,,, but in your avatar seems you have somethin growin out of it :laugh: :laugh:



another NFR :fing02:

Borrowed it from Shaynej just for the avatar shot ........... :goofy:

Okay here it goes again. Tell your friend this.

YOU CAN PLEASE MOST OF THE PEOPLE MOST OF THE TIME BUT NOT ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME. F THE REST.

Cruisinaz, that is the vertcal stabilizer he adds for when he is riding REALLY fast. You don't need those at lower speeds. :rolleyes:

Well, it was only their first and second time out on the track, respectively. I think I got TOO into it and forgot for a moment that I was trying to teach the people behind me. :D

It wasn't really a 'job' per se, more of a "I'll volunteer my time to help some new people learn the lines" kind of thing.

Now if only I could figure out how to make it extend and retract based on my speed. :D
