This past Sunday I brought my 95 XR200 to the local track. It was my first time ever riding on a track.
I had a frigging blast even though I was the slowest bike there.
But I was cool with that cuz I'm 45 years old, been broken, have no ego anymore, and just wanted to make sure I made it to work Monday morning.
Below is a link to the first of 3 video's I posted on a new YouTube channel that I created especially for this type of stuff, mainly for having a place to store videos other than my hard drive as they are quite large, and for a place to put vid's of my boy, and a new LLC we are starting together with a friend of mine, hence the name BaDaZ.
I'm in no way trying to say that we are badass, but it works well for the company name since the first letters of our names are B, D, and Z.
The total run-time of the 3 vids is about 27 minutes.
If you are so inclined to watch them, I am very open to any critiques, criticism's, advice, what have you.
I layed the XR over in the first few minutes of video 3. I guess that tracks get a bit slippery when they get dry? I was also tired, and had much arm-pump happening; had to take many breaks.
I also have questions about handlebars. Mine were fine when trail riding, but I grew to dislike them at the track, and changed their position once, without much more satisfaction. They just didn't feel right, and I felt like they we're wearing me out. The throttle grip felt like it was too far out...if that makes sense. I'm pretty sure they're not bent...

I met some cool folks with kids and will be bringing the kiddo there this weekend, and am sure he will love it. I cant wait to get back out there and pick up the pace. Will post more vids of him after, since he is the reason for all of this.
