Random Riding Observations
There's a rider I see in the results of races and practices who rides at a somewhat leisurely pace, and his name has stuck out in my mind, so sometimes when I see results I check his laptimes and compare mine to them. Dean rides a 600, a much more powerful bike than mine, but at Fontana I was a second slower than him on average. Compare that to last month's AFM race at Buttonwillow, where I was twelve to fourteen seconds slower than him. What gives?

Maybe it was because as I was cruising through Buttonwillow's Riverside, an extremely fast, long set of sweeping right hand turns, I was singing the Beatles song "Michelle" inside my head. I should probably focus on going fast instead of thinking about a cheerful, slow little song.

Dean may have more seat time than you do at Buttonwillow. He might not be coming off of a big highside either - as you know, both of those can have a big effect on your confidence and lap times.
