Pete and Jerry do LOOK pretty slow, though.

haha exactly the two I was talking about. They are pretty fucking quick. Not many, other than CNI and the like, can beat em down 125.

I don't care if a chick is in front of me. Hell, I get the best view!!! Although I almost ran wide and crash a few times because I was focused on the rhythmic motion of the derriers.

All I saw was 10yr old.

It's really tough to get out there and try and be betty-bad-ass when you get your butt handed to you by a 12-year-old. Personally, I know what fast looks like - and what slow looks like - and I don't really care what category other people put me in.

I've been owned by too many people at the gap that was unexpected that I don't care who is faster than me anymore. Shane and his busa is ungodly fast, Suzy and her motard is just a blur, that really old man and his KTM are halfway to jupitur by now. I gave up on ego a long time ago.

I'm just surprised he didn't show up on a shiny new GSXR1000... guess it's that whole "credit crunch" thang.

Hokie is as fast or faster than most men I've ridden with. Riding with Kerry is only going to make her faster. I did a trackday with NinjaKel and she's no joke either...

Shit I need to ride with you and Shane! My shit is weak son! I never felt I was over 60% BUT I also never felt comfortable!!! It totally sucked! Maybe I should do a couple track days to possibly shake things loose? I totally trusted my '01 and '03 GSXRs and they never lead me wrong but this bike...

For the record, gender doesn't bother me. If someone is better than me so be it. I still think that females should totally own motorcycle racing, seriously.
