袖ヶ浦楽しかったぁ! Had a lotta fun at Sodegaura!

今日はライダーパーティというイベントに顔を出しました。

この前のモテギとは大違いでのんびりとツーリングしてるペースでサーキットを走る集まりだったので、モンスターで参加した。

でも、ストレートはタンクに張り付いても遅かったなぁ、、、、
最終コーナーがなんかラインが難しいくて、最後までギアが決まらず加速しきれない感じで今日は終了。



1098と乗り方もラインも全部変えないといけないのと、ペグとスタンド(笑)を引きずったり、ブーツもブレーキ側で何度もすって、、、なんかモンスターは乗りこなすのが難しいと思った。もっと上手いライダーになれたら楽しそう!

明日は朝から忙しいから、今日は早く寝れるといいな。

Today I attended this track meet

It was a really relaxed atmosphere and so I decided to ride the monster today!

It's almost touring paced riding half of the time so it's an event I always look forward to.

I'm also a big fan of Nemoto-San who's a rider hosting the get together.

Last time I was at the track was at Motegi, and that was much much more of a serious riding class... today was just a get together.

But the Monster isn't really a "monster" machine, most of the straight sections I've opened the throttle all the way so it's up to my riding skills to get out of the corners fast.

The monster is a completely different machine compared to my 1098. I was dragging parts almost immediately and realized I needed to work more on my lines and approach. Wow... riding well is so difficult! The 1098 just makes it seem like I'm a better rider....

I hope to get some rest tonight since I've got a whole day of work tomorrow!!
