Seriosly if you keep your eyes open you'll learn that you can go faster and what the bike does when you do. Close your eyes and lord knows what's going to happen and where it's going to happen at.
    I like to close my eyes and go to my happy place when times get tough. Also, it hurts less if you crash with your eyes closed.
    f_ck. what color is your bike? i need to stay away from you :shock:

    And a beautiful crash it was, with your body in the shape an X with all limbs outstretched doing cartwheels!

    Where did you buy the three-seater? I bet that thing IS a handful in the corners.... I would close my eyes too!
    I did not claw my way to the top of the foodchain to eat my veggies.

    Sometimes I get lonely out there... I like to bring a few friends so I have someone to talk to.

    Well, I used to race with an IPOD so I did not think about crashing. In Germany my team called me the IPOD kid because of it. I no longer do that and have learned it slowed me down more than it helped me beacuse I worried more about singing than going fast.

    Sorry no stories about Colorado racing yet.

    hrm. im sure i can remember some other stuff but, recently I remember saying to myself "is he going to pass.....ah F#ck." as Ara slid away in turn 2. : (

    oh and screaming bad language as he passed me on someone elses bike. but that was a different race : P

    I guess I ride with my mouth open cuz after every race, I always swallow my tongue on the cooldown lap. Almost puking every time.. . . .

    so yea.. :roll:

    I screamed loud enough for Dale to hear me when he lapped me in middleweight endurance going up T7 at HPR. Clean pass but I checked for blue paint on my bike after.

    Nice win, Dale! Hope my screaming didn't scare you.
