[QUOTE="BSWIFT, post: 1256217, member: 16802"] Thanks to DWreck, Craig_enid, OKKX'r, and Chuck Cooper I had a great ride at the 500. Temps started out around 45 but warmed into the low 50's. Traction was the word for the day. No dust and just a few infamous red dirt mud puddles. I haven't been on my bike for a couple of months so I was really out of shape. I've been dealing with lower back pain for months and my new Chiropractor has done me good. Not riding has left me a bit cranky so I really needed some grin factor in my life, today didn't disappoint me. One thing for sure, I will never drink a NOS energy drink again! I puked that up after about thirty minutes of riding. From that point, the day got MUCH better. The first 3-4 miles I felt like a pinball. No rythem, arm pump and hand cramps. Chuck and DWreck were riding pretty fast and OKKX'r was doin' fairly well at keeping them within site while Craig and I brought up the rear. My riding improved as the day went on. The 80 brought in a some excitement. Chuck spotted each of us 30 secs. I went first (slowest) then Craig, then Don, then Derek, and then Chuck. Craig passed me about mile three and I kept him in site for the next 3 miles but Derek was closing on me pretty fast. Derek's racing this year gave him lots of improvement and it shows. Chuck, well is a Cooper and is always fast, even though he is still recovering from broken ribs! :yikes: It is really nice to have good friends to ride with. Lots of laughs and big smiles at the end of the day. Chuck and Derek let me try out the 300's. Both of their bikes are really smooth. The 08 KTM with the magic button surprised me with how hard the engine pulled in the higher RPM's. Derek's GG pulled harder through the mid range and his suspension was more plush. We finished it all off with a trip to Hideaway Pizza. Can't wait for the next time. Thanks everyone.:cool: [/QUOTE]
