We should all be tuning up and keeping are skill sets sharp.   I always found myself geting lazy and rusty at precision handling.  Sometimes I would find an open parking parking lot and spend some time brushing up on tight radius handling skills.  It is humbling sometimes to admit you have gotten rusty or sloppy.
Yep, still riding the old one

Two things I notice immediately: stickiest tires I've ever seen, bet he goes through a set every 2 weeks, and carbs must have been stroked by stevo, no low-speed stumble allowed!

I think this rider's mental skills are very sharp also because I did not see any arrows on the ground to follow.  Trying to remember the number of turns and which cones to go around on the left or the right had me dizzy also.

Nice job!

Watch his eyes. They're doing what they should be doing. Makes me dizzy just watching them.
