[QUOTE="jboomer, post: 774435, member: 27524"] Part II After Gomer fixed my tire I headed out onto the track. I burned some hot laps but kept struggling with one of the easier whoop sections...as I would hit the second whoop my rear tire would deflect and start the bike to swapping...but I would clear the whoops quickly enough before it got too out of hand. Except for one time. Joe and Crash had stopped under a shade tree next to the whoop section as I came around for another lap. As I changed gears and accelerated through the whoops the swapping started again. This time it was too bad and as the bike rotated into a high side it pitched me and I tumbled across the track. I was OK, shook up a little, but grabbed the bike and the guys helped me under the tree. We sat and BS'ed a little until a kid on an 80 came through and did the exact same thing as I, only he and the bike tumbled together. We quicky ran over helped him up and over to the shade so he could recover too. I adjusted my speed a little from this point in order to avoid another get-off. Everyone met up in the pits to rehydrate, cool down, and then headed off into the woods for a little impromptu trail session. Trails were OK, pretty wide and very dusty but we still managed to have a really good time. I pretty much petered out after this point and didn't do much more riding the rest of the weekend. Between the heat (and exhaustion) and the opportunity for conversation I didn't make much more time to ride. I had my fill of the track and took an opportunity to meet the people I have visited so much with the past couple of years. It was disappointing as people slowly packed up and started trickling away Saturday afternoon through Sunday. I enjoyed every minute of the weekend and am extremely impressed with the quality of people I spent the last couple of days with. Like Robert said "There's not a nicer group of people than the one's you meet on dirtbikes." (paraphrased a little!) We come from different walks of life with different experiences but we all share a common bond...the love of motorcycles. I've been a Marine for 8 years and feel just as comfortable and "in my element" with these guys as I do with my fellow Marines. I can't wait for my next opportunity to get together with you all and hope to add a couple more faces to the screen names! [/QUOTE]
