Its electric?

Yup, TTX GP was in town last weekend at Mosport. Unfortunately they only had 5 bikes competing. The race start was bizarre; take-off with no sound at all from where I was, in the final corner before the front straight. I usually couldn't even hear them until they were almost in front of me.

the lack of sound would seriously mess with my head

It was seriously screwing with my ability as a photographer. I'm left eye dominant, which means that I can't use that eye to spot around the camera while waiting for the bikes to show up. I have to depend on my hearing both for safety and to know when the bikes are coming. There was only one of them that I could hear from more than the nearest corner in distance.

Were there cards in the spokes?...

It's about the best one I have from the track day this weekend. My brother was zoomed in as far as he could get, but unfortunately, almost all of the pics are still a bit blurry. Oh well, figure I'll submit the pic anyway. Oh, and this is about all the lean the strom has in it.

I scraped peg a LOT, and the back end got squirrelly a few times.

My favorite picture of my trip.

I was headed to the base of Mt. Rainier - at a pull over to take some pictures of the breathtaking view. A guy asked me if I would like to have my picture taken. Of course! He was even kind enough to point me out in the picture with his finger in front of the lens

Moira, that bike is so big, it actually makes YOU look tiny!
