This year is going to turn into my bucket list adventure. As some of you may know, I've been spending a bit of time at the local racetracks here in the Bay Area of California for the last 6 years. So in concert with my retirement last year, I've decided to hit the road and get to as many racetracks across the country this year as time, money and endurance will allow while avoiding the heat of the summer. So far we've purchased an RV, a 7x14' enclosed trailer, and a bunch of little stuff that no one tells you about until after you buy the RV!
The tentative schedule looks something like this (* are MotoAmerica tracks!). Unfortunately with the postponement of the MotoGP race at COTA (just announced today) I've had to skip that which was actually going to be one of the highlights of the trip, but I've been able to drop in another event between Las Vegas and Topeka.

I don't know how many of you may be into track days, but if anybody is nearby at any of these events please give a thought to coming out to visit - even if you don't give a s*** about track riding It would be great to see some friendly faces along the way. If you are interested in track riding, I'm actually bringing two track bikes (in case of mechanical issues or other problems) so have a spare in case anybody wants to give it a try
If you don't have my phone number already, hit me with a PM and we can get in touch. The FJR will also be in the trailer so getting some street-legal fun will also be on the agenda...
Hope to hear and see some of you over the course of the year!
