Quick Recap of what has been going on - February 17, 2010
As Daytona and the new season approaches we have been very busy getting everything together and ready.
I am so excited for Bike week this year. I have really great equipment and cant wait to get going.
Over the winter
we managed to travel to Las Vegas for the AMA Awards Banquet, which was a great experience for me. Also,
we made two trips to Jennings Florida for track sessions in Road racing.
In December we were invited to a private weekend session by Larry Pegram, where I learned so much from him.
He is such a great teacher and friend. I had so much fun that weekend.
In January we went to Jennings with a few friends from Pro Motion Motorcycle Club. It was so cold that weekend
but it was still awesome. The track at Jennings is flat and fast, and I had one of my best weekends riding there.
This past weekend we went and had some fun on the ice behind Schaeffer's Harley-Davidson with Brian Phillips,
John Lewis, Jake Johnson, Ken Yoder, Cory Texter and a few others. It was a lot of fun until the snow got too bad.
Hope to make it back there again before heading to Florida.
