Just wondering.

It's funny, I don't believe in any of the bad luck superstitions, just the good luck ones. Smile

I ain't superstitious,
When a black cat crosses my path.
And, I ain't superstitious,
As I break the looking glass.
Ain't afraid of no demons,
Don't make me laugh!
I ain't superstitious,
Under the ladder I go.
I ain't superstitious,
It's all bulls**t, don't you know!

Ain't afraid of the shadows,
I like the dark anyway,
and that's a fact!
Superstitious [ x 2 ]

I ain't superstitious,
No such thing as bad luck.
I ain't superstitious,
I couldn't really give a f**k.
Take your stupid superstitions,
And find some other paranoidal,
Chickens**t, sissy, worm,
and, tell it to him.
Superstitious [ x 2 ]

Rode the DRZ 400 SM into work today and took the long way home. I did put my left glove on first though.

Not superstitious, but it's been pouring down rain and thundering since the wee hours of the morning.

Just got back from Perris - Had a good ride. Some English kid from the UK on a KTM 250f was there and was killing it. His name began with an "A" (sorry that's all I saw). His dad said they were going to hit Mammoth, Loretti Lynns and a few races back East then back to the UK. For a kid that just turned 15 he was faaaast...



Oh, and Lil Hanny showed up on a Honda right before afternoon practice was over. He did about 7 or 8 laps and left. Kinda weird...



He sure does ride smooth. I wish he put the effort into his program like a Canard or Dungey...

Raining here for like the 10th day in a row. Today was the nicest day yet. Actually sunny all day and the track was starting to dry out until 1 hour before open practice was to start. If that ain't bad luck I don't know what is.

In the words of Michael Scott - I'm not superstitious, just stitious.


Oh, and always left glove first. Other than that, I'm good to go!

Son was headed to the track to ride today until we stopped at the bank to do some business(something that should have taken 30 min, took 2 hours to complete) then he noticed the date....decided to head home.


I would rather he skip a day of practice then let him be worried about what day it is while he is riding. Always prefer that he is focused while on the track.

Yes that sounds right. His dad said he JUST turned 15 and he was hucking the big triple like it was no problem. Nice kid and family too.

It was 95' plus and we were all feeling it and for a kid from England, where it rarely gets above 65,' he was pounding out the laps like the heat was no problem.

D@mn I wish I was 15 again.

Might be someone to keep an eye on...

He's one of KTM's amateur team guys, and there's GP experience in the family pedigree. He's definitely one to watch.
