It was but a bit sketchy. The face had pretty massive kicker. I had to controllably panic rev the nose back on level. If you notice Im shifting up in this one to get the revs up to level out the bike. This is one of the shorter jumps to give you a clue how big that kicker was. I was hitting it second with the rear spinning. Third when I was able to get some drive. I was leaning forward way too much causing the rear to loose traction and keeping me from landing on the asphalt like I was intending. I was landing WFO causing me to land on the down slope and drive out sideways. On one occasion I landed with so much momentum. The front rebounded just as the rear caught. Causing a minor wheelie down the landing. I wonder if the photographer caught that one?

All that stuff is terrifying to me... But fun to watch.

So, the dreaded Norm250 still is out there? At least he does not seem to be doing street rides and picking on poor old infirm antique gentleman riders out for cruises on their stock DR-Z's.

I think he just gave up trying to catch us & just goes to the track where it's easier!! LOL!

How he is being disrespectful to poor old elderly folks. It is not enough that he thrashes us on the street with his mighty Yamaha. I showed the post to one of the attendants here at the home, when they helped me get up and about, and they agreed. I would tell Brakelate to find him and throw down some justice, but, Brakelate, although still relatively young compared to some, is currently laid up after surgery. Perhaps Mike can work the kinks out of his back and school Norm so more?
