Have fun!  I'm jealous.  Of both the ride (I love the area) and the fact that you're wife is riding.  Mine will barely acknowledge I have one.

Super Save!  That was sweet.  As I've never been to a motorcycle track race it was quite an eye opening video....and what cool bike!  I'm uber-impressed by your skills.  Props to ya!
