Nice move inside at 6:30.        

I just watched the first one. That looks like fun, and not much traffic, considering how many bikes there were on the grid. I love passing on the inside.

Your upshifts sound a lot different than mine. I haven't figured out why. I thought maybe you were using a speed shifter, or clutchless upshifting, but then I thought not. Maybe it's just that you don't get much exhaust noise with the camera position. It sure sounds quiet, anyway. Maybe I'm also hearing more of the clutch going on and off than what I'm used to, too.

That double-apex right-hander gets me every time. I keep thinking. "Hey, get on the throttle", and then up comes the second part. Good to know the track ahead of time.

Is it my imagination, or are there a lot of straight stretches there? Of course, I just watched the Le Mans GP races, and that course has a lot of tight, stop-and-start stuff. Sears Point doesn't seem to be the best course for the 250. Most of the roads I ride on are a lot tighter, but it looks like a great ride nonetheless.

What was with all the different bikes? Were there several classes all together? I expected to see mainly 250s, since there's no other real bikes in that class. I swear I saw at least one 2-stroke while you were backing up on the grid Smile

Good fun, anyway. Off to watch #2.
