The weather was perfect and Reg, released from the classroom for a couple of hours, celebrates his upcoming birthday with some fun laps at VIR during a CLASS Motorcycle School.

Note to CLASS students from Reg: "If you've been to CLASS you know that I always ask at the beginning of the day: "Who wants to be a faster rider?" Almost every one of you raises his or her hand stating, yes, "I would like to be faster".

I was able to capture 3-4 laps at VIR, which shows managing the systems, planning, the line, entry and exit and most of all: throttle management - RPMs are your best friend.

Not everybody wants this end result but most of you want to climb the ladder. Imagine if you will running it down in slow motion. Two-up rides offer something similar, usually resulting in the passenger's comment of "I see what you mean". The picture is worth 1000 words. Trust your tires and take a peek."
