My husband bought me a t-shirt that says "Yeah, You just got passed by a girl"

Just thinkin' the same thing. Great pictures for a first post.

I love seeing bikes being used to their potential, nice job.

And to add insult to injury, they not only got passed by a girl, but also a touring bike and a BMW no less. That is a triple slap into reality for most sportbike riders.

Great pics!

Nice style!

What track?

[dbarc38]

The track is at Cresson, south of Ft. Worth. It was sponsored by the BMW dealer in Plano. It was my first experience at a track and i would suggest it to anyone that wants to improve. I had a blast......

Welcome andf great pics dbarc38. Helen just saw this and said " I want to go!"

I had looked at this place when it opened...lot better than the oval at Texas World Speedway for sure. Need our local dealers to sponsor a day.

First track day? Wow! Those pics and lean angle are quite impressive, especially considering the bike. (fairly hefty)

A few more millimeters and you would be grounding the center stand and/or engine guards. BTW ... what type of tires?

Kevin,

I had a Pilot Power on the front, the Pilot Power was not available for the back. The back was more than likely a Pilot Road.

I have the plastic guards on the cylinders and i did scrape them up. Of course i will not be taking the RT to the track again as i now know the RT's limits.

We purchased a new K1200S this year, cant wait to get it on the track.

I decided to take a spin down south of Houston to the MSR-Houston Raceway to check out trackday schedules this afternoon. No bikes today -- I watched the SCCA crowd practicing with their open wheel racers for awhile. It's a large complex and they let me in for free to ride around the facilities -- not the track -- to check things out.

Here's the website for anybody thinking of taking a ride over there to check it out:

WOW...no idea that was there...isn't that the area the NASCAR investors wanted to build a track? I must have driven by it a lot lately and never noticed.

Nice bike, nice suit.


TexanRT,

Great looking track, is it open to the public?
