Robert Blair (trimblair) and I attended the LSTD event at MSR in Cresson.
Bob sports a z1000s and i'm on a 2006 R6. Track layout was the original 1.7mile setup. The track was crazy slick this morning. way too slick for aggressive riding.

No but that's a pretty good guess. That barn is pretty cool and it does have some similarities to that old slaughter house Chuckles and i shot. talk about diverse scenary at the track. you've seen the old barn, now here's whats on the other side. when you become rich you can sport one of these timeshares, i'll supply the bikes

Dude, you had me at "This shot is for Joe." Hell, Probably didn't even have to say that much. But it's the thought that counts!

So wtih a perfectly clear view of your bike, I'm hard pressed to tell you it is a R6, but I've got no problem spotting a couple EMD GP50's earning their keep on the FWWR back there. I can even tell you that while the numbers are illegible they are 2009, 2010, or 2011. Could be that the third one is there behind you, I would have expected to see three. I suppose I could ask some of my informants and then I will know the numbers, in order.

I knew i could count on you, lol.
That's an awesome grab by 320. 3birds with one stone.
1. She got me with my knee down, very cool
2. Loco's in the background for you.
3. Barn in the background for Chuckles/Aggie.

you'll have to explain to me how you know the numbers without seeing them? Also what is FWWR (railroad)?

Those tracks are a giant PITA because of their proximity to the 377/171 intersection. For one that redlight SUCKS sack cause it's one side at a time. then when those trains come through there must be a switch somewhere close because i've seen them stop, backup, go forward, stop.. backup go reverse, meanwhile traffic is backed up up to damn near grandbury. however i cannot fault them too much because if it werent for those tracks i would have never found the MSR track. i was following those things on my tlr way back in 1999 and ran across that track... which eventually led to the whole 11krpm dealio. pretty freaky, yo.
