I know of at least one other motorcycle enthusiast on the board so I thought I'd post this up on here, and for everyone else to see on of my most favorite things to do...ride a motorcycle!
I participated in Zalusky's Advanced Riding School at Dakota County Tech College's driving range on 7 Aug. This was my first time doing a track day, so obviously I registered for the first timer's instruction. Our first 2 sessions were in the rain, next 2 were in a wet/partially dry track, and the final 3 (or 4, I don't remember) were on bone dry hot surface. I was riding my 2002 race prepped SV650 on Michelin PowerOne tires (scrubbed them in while out in the rain). I had the time of my life. I progressed so much in that one day, it blew my mind.
Here's the course we rode (forgive the Google Maps winter satellite photo)
And some shots of me
