How many of you were on a race track for the first time 
Me.
Felt like being a kid at Christmas again.

Both of us.
As we were getting ready Harv asked "shall we wear the intercoms"?
"NO, I don't want to hear you screaming" I replied.

Me
An absolutely amazing experience, the 1st lap everything looked so big & wide, 2nd lap I was getting an idea and picking my lines, 3rd Lap had Jo punching me in the back, 4th lap things didn't look so big and wide......
I can see how this could easily swallow you up and become an obsession, the adrenaline rush at the start of a full blown race must be awesome, oh and to cross the line a winner, well that must be something some of us can only dream off!!

Mee too, I reckon there were 30ish triples(maybe more) plus some Ducatis, oh and one that sat in both camps!

I can't believe, with so many tracks (it seems) close to a lot of you, that you aren't at track days or races all the time. It's a total rush......

I suspect the jeans and trainers attire that some of us had may fall foul or scrutineering at other race circuits!

I could hear myself laughing in the helmet all the way up from Eau Rouge, I was still at it by the time we dropped towards the chicane...
Managed a high five with Rick just as we were slowing down for the pit lane at the end.
