I was waiting for someone to say that, so I wouldn't have to.

Hey, it's not my fault that you're hot. Ever think that maybe that's the reason this thread is so popular?!? EH?!?!?

Try French... I'm much more proficient in that...

Too bad bigamy is against the law over there!

We should learn some interesting thing from Arabians (no pun intended).

You didn't read my P.S. then! It's evident you were still thinking which avatar was better (AND YES, I'M JOKING AGAIN!)

I was joking of course. Instead I'd like to race some of you, which - even if I don't have any experience on that side - sounds better than marriage to me!

ciao, Janis

p.s. did you notice that none of the men commented the action pictures, I've posted before the avatar?
I'm considering becoming gay, where do I have to apply?

I would love to think that, but unfortunately I know how men are like over the internet and I think my appereance doesn't count.
I could be a big bewhiskered bloke (sheesh that's Brit, but I like this word!) pretending to be female, and still men would pay a lot of attention to me. Let's have a laugh on it, seen than we can't change the testosterone influence

True... Point taken. (You're not REALLY a big whiskered bloke though. (ARE you?!?

You asked for it:

Straightaway pic isn't impressive. Besides, the photographer shot this photo w/too high of an F-Stop (higher than 1/250th), freezing your wheel motion. Not the greatest for shooting action shots (had it happen to me as well), but easier if you want to be a lazy photographer.

Move your head off the centerline of the bike (to the right). Get off the bike more. It will allow you to carry more corner speed through there. This might require you to go faster through that turn though.

Not seeing the turn or how it sets up the following turn(s), I can't comment on your bike position in that turn.

Good on you for getting out to the track. Most people don't do it, and have no idea of what they are missing.

I don't know the damned photographer and I do consider him (or her, I was set on doing something else. you know?) not really professional, even though the price if you want to buy the pics is quite high (hence the tumbnails). So I agree with you, though I would have preferred a comment on the driver...for example I would like to be more inside the bike...but I guess here's not my fault. On that CBR the position is forced...I had to stand on the pegs not sitting (i'm a few inches above the seat if you look at it) to assume that position. Do you agree?

I agree with all of your comments, even though I must tell you that that pic was taken BEFORE the center of the turn (noticed you can't see the curb -or whatever it is called -yet?), so before I could get to bend the bike at the maximum extent and maybe be in the right position with the body.
I would have expected an objection on the position of my right elbow...it should be more open, it that right?
Definitely right on the fact I have to go faster to drive better...I noticed the fastest I drive (in traks) the better I drive. Same turn, better time, better driving, it's mathematical.
I am a beginner so I'm trying to move forward step by step not forcing my improving.

I think it's just a different vision on motociclying. Many people like to travel and enjoy the sights. I'm in love with speed and adrenaline.
The ones I can't understand are the ones who ride like mads on the roads, also because when they move in the tracks they usually appear to be very slow (passed many of those I couldn't catch on the road).

Thank you!! I hope to learn a lot from you.

Sheesh what a different message compared to your previous one!
On the other one you seemed very helpful and attentive...now you turned very aggressive...what happened in the meanwhile? Too much yogurt?

Astonished Janis

p.s. relax!

p.p.s. c'mon I don't need to get attention with a 1/2 inch photo!

I'm not, but I bet you would like me to be him when I pass you like a rocket!! (just kiddin' hon, just kiddin')

Ooooppss I'm afraid you're right! Sorry...would you help me to understand now?

ciao, Janis

p.s. quoting me with "it wasn't so important" wouldn't be fair

That must be an idiom...or it's me becoming an idiot (and playing with words hehehe)...anyway...I didn't get it (must me my "don't get it" day!)

p.s. btw "baci"=kisses...stay warned
