You can straight whoop some Victory ass with that thing, as well as crush any 600 or 750 sportbike off the line, all the way to 125mph...  <lmao>  It's awesome, looking at their faces, at the next red light...  <laughs>  <thumbsup>

Then I got the motard bug

OH MAN it was fun on the track!

That was me passing Cliff on Patriot  <laughs>

Then I decided the motard was fun enough and the R1 hurt my arse!

I kept the RT but sold the motard after 4 track days and the desire to get back on the track more and got a GSXR750 for track only

[img width=810 height=606]http://www.troybaker.com/gsxr/gsxr029.jpg

Had plans to ride the RT to Cali with Brian (ducinnc) in the fall of 2009 But we were railing tuggles on motards when he decided to wheelie his KTM 950 SM JUST before the last corner coming down (that really tight left hander before the last right hand sweaper) and ran straight off the side of the mtn into a 4ft wide oak. He died instantly.

I didn't stop riding. I kept riding street for a year, but just lost the passion.

I had the GSXR taped up and track bodied for a monday track day when my buddy Brad called me to do a sunday Shady run. They all had sportbikes and mine was ready for VIR full. He talked me into taking the RT.

I can't just ride SLOW on a Shady ride!  <munch> so of course I started passing thru the group till I was up front leading. Just before we got to Damascus I rounded a corner with pea gravel all the way across the road. So of course I was the one who got to test the gripping ability of that pea gravel!

gravel won.

On the ride home (busted fairings but ridable) I decided to get off the street and do something more family/life insurance friendly. 

I sold the RT and the GSXR in 2 days and went dirty full time

Well.....I still own leathers though  8)

Thats brutal what happened to Brian. I am pretty sure I rode with him a time or 2.  I watched a stranger I was riding with die up on 181 and parked the bike and that took the wind out of my sails. I have been racing/riding offroad and mx for the last 5-6 years. Last Jan I ended breaking my leg/ankle on a supercross track and that ended my dirt days untill my 2 year old goes to school and my wife goes back to work.
