Loved the pics of the busa with GIVIs about to pass you
When someone passes me on another Hayabusa, they have earned it, they deserve it and I salute them. Ralph (Pacemaster) has passed me more than once, to do that one must stretch the Busa to its limits, Ralph does that and deserves to be acknowledged!
I claim the title, "King of smooth" not "King of lowest lap times". And that's because I've placed SO much of my energy into figuring out how to be smooth. I truly believe smoothness correlates to less accidents/mistakes so that will allow me to do this way into my 70's (as I said in another post).
I know it's all in fun....I just wanted to make this serious point in the hopes that less people go down because they forgot about smoothness (it also has this great benefit of making you focus on exactly what you are doing with your body at critical lean angles, speed, etc.).
BTW, it's just as important (or more so)on the street!
Remember, the street has police, driveways, animals, speed limits, surface hazards, no braking markers, farther away emergency services, trees, guardrails, stupid cagers, etc. Long list!
