I usually ride with guys I do track days with so a fast pace is easy and relaxed. It's a lot easier to learn from someone that's fast and relaxed and calm, than someone that's fast and having to push hard to be that way. I dunno, I'm half in the bag so none of that might make any sense...
Nah, that makes sense. I assume that you're talking about Hok right? Yea you seemed very relaxed and smooth at the Gap, so I can see what you mean. I never felt nervous around either you, Shane or Trip. I was terrified that I'd run over someone around every corner otherwise. To be honest, I never rode with Kerry or Hokie at the Gap that I remember. I spent the first day not riding much because my bike felt funny and the second at Wheeler's getting my fork reassembled . In fact, I don't think I made more than 2 passes with anyone from the group. Oh well, I'm just glad I didn't crash!!!
