Default The old 'Cane on the track

Howdy fellow bikers!

Today I went to the track Gälleråsen (yeah, don't you love that spellling? [sm=exactly.gif]) with my CBR1000F and overtook a few V-maxes, VTR Firestorms, Ducatis and Bulldogs. Ok, admittedly I was overtaken more times than I overtook, but that's alright with me as long as I have the opportunity to develop my own skills and have a helluva good time at it! And I did!

Gälleråsen is a track situated just north of the town of Karlskoga in Sweden (northern Europe) and the arrangement today was a Swedish motorcyclist club (SMC) organizing a sportbike school which yours truly attended together with 75 other guys.

It was very rewarding and I wholehearted recommend a day at the races for anyone looking for some good fun and to learn to be a better rider.

This is a photo of me at the end of corner 5 above .

The Cane looks good. Keep the head up in the turns!

Thanx Shadow - I'm a real newbie with bikes.
Thanx R1000 - I never gave full throttle but kept the speed down in order to learn more.
Thanx GILL - And keep the rubber down.
Mikekop - I think I've got the itch too
