Now off to Road America. The EBR is going to have a bigger challenge there. The Up hill to the straight is a power robber and this track demands HP. I can't wait till friday. I'll be packed and ready to go. The really long drive of 1 hour and 15min is gonna be just to much to deal with. Might need a nap when I get there.

Actually this year I'm only staying for Friday qualify and Saturday races. My Brother owns a condo at the Osthoff Lake Resort | Wisconsin Family Resort and Midwest Conference Center so my stay is cheap. Suck because this is the first times I've not been there for the whole weekend in 20 years.

Well figuring that the bike is prettu much brand new.Only racing the last 2 races of last year and then having Eslick aboard and learning Superbike which is all together a different animal. You my friend are not seeing what the country is seeing. The bike has quite a bit of untapped power. EBR is making it reliable first and doing a pretty good job so far. Then they will release more. They both have had podium finishes...... something BMW has still to do and they have been in this a couple years. They are usually in the top 5 hmmmm thats awesome first year out. Took a 4th and a 6th at RA and Danny started from pit lane because he had a loose fuel cover.... meaning he left pit lane at 55 mph..... what a come back!!!! Now they are off to smaller tracks that they will be better suited at the moment. Also remember another thing....... they have ZERO electronics on board. No wheelie control no braking control.... no traction control. What they do have ??? Is HERO as a sponsor and that my friends is lots of funding. BTW don't look for HONDA ..... Honda USA at this time has no intentions on a return at this time.

Looks like we have now A Honda CBR 1000 in Superbike with Jake Holden at the reigns. Good to see after a absence a couple few years.
