I'd like to say welcome as well, nice to have you here. I am a gear head by birth and choice, as are some others here on the site so I know there are several of us who would love to see pictures of anything related to burning gas or kickin.... (you can fill in the blanks.)
I have to agree with Sean, CRT205 has definitely been a love/hate relationship. I am glad I am a few days away from it being over, but I am also glad I took the class.
Good luck on your race, the Hayabusa is a great piece of machinery so I know that will help ya a ton

again, welcome and I too hope you enjoy the site and visit often.
