Flash @ Sepang

Dear all
My post since that fateful day at Sepang. However without lesson without experience.

It was a long drawn out ambition to go on the track after so many years of touring and always having the innate fear of not being 100% in control of the bike. I would say the level of confidence in handling the bike is two fold!!

However this does not mean that the ability is up two fold!!??! But I must say that in my three days of experience in Sepang,....

A. What a blast!! The smell, the taste of speed, and the absolute experience of a world class location is simply unbelievable.

B. The sudden knowledge that you have NO knowledge is truly humbling. There are so many seasoned riders with so much experience and technical knowledge to learn from.

C. Thinking you are slower simply because you are riding at a slower speed simply masks the fact that your technique is wrong!! Bike setup is not optimized and the fact that a well setup bike will just leave you standing...:((

D. The nightmare of falling especially a HIGHSIDE simply was always there but actually experiencing it was also another thrilling experience. Thank God nothing was broken:))). A duck broken means next time hopefully no more.

To cap it off, thought of coming home with clean knee sliders instead came back with more than one thing scratched. :))) check out the pics.
