Ho un po' di nostalgia per questa mia vecchia carretta, comprata nuova e lasciata quasi sempre in garage. Chissà se il tizio a cui l'ho venduta è ancora vivo... #YamahaR1 #ricordi

Breaking the thread to get out of the CW:

Next, #Virginia International Raceway. Before we'd even left Atlanta, we put down a deposit on a new 2022 #YamahaR1 since buying a donor bike was the fastest way to procure the spares we'd need to get a bike back on track.

Short version of a very long story: we rebuilt the bike in about two weeks. Then Sean had a two-bike crash at VIR that resulted in a broken bike, and a broken ankle.

We started our first season running #Stock1000 (our stock liter bike class) with a #superbike round at #COTA in #Texas. Sean Thomas from Longmont CO piloted our #Yamaha #YamahaR1 machine for the early season.

BTS: We were pitted across from Danillo Petrucci (he and several members of their team were quite kind — his truck driver, Levi, became one of my favorite crew folks to chat with last season). I got starstruck when Suzi Perry showed up to interview Petrucci.
