I raced on Sunday. It was fun. I managed to fall in practice but it was a very mellow rather slow low side. Tiny scuff on my leathers but no other damage at all. I finished all my races near the back but I always had at least a few people behind me. The starts are insane. 20 or 25 people all making a mad rush to the first corner. There were crashes in front of me on all of the starts. I think I could place better if I get used to passing more aggresively. Stuffing yourself past people in a reckless maner is something that's difficult to practice on the street. Oh well, I'm not really out there to win (though it would be nice of course). I'm just trying to have a good time.

Oh yeah, someone asked what kind of bike. It's an XR400. It's a very tall bike and I manage to make it look kind of small. That reminds me of what a circus freak I used to look like riding my tiny little '65 Ducati.

In other news, I'm going to try and ween myself off of my useless and time consuming hobby of arguing on the internet. It's completely fucking dumb and I should know better.
