Can't beat an interesting report from someone is still an is-was
rather than a has-been as most of us are these days. Looks like fun. I
can imagine not wanting to go back to the mundane after a weekend like
that. You probably "lived" more in a few minutes on that course than I
did all 62 hours or so I was off between Friday afternoon and this
morning.
The only problem with the pics is that a course like that conjures
visions of vintage Triumphs, Nortons, BSAs, etc., not modern day
rice-fueled crotch rockets!

I'm not sure if Champ did, but the Kawadood that got the serious air prolly
thought so, that is, until today. I always found the period around 48 hrs
after a get-off the sorest...

Yep, 2nd day after is usually pretty bad. My experience is to go home
and get still somewhere, then find upon rising that I have stiffened
up quite a bit. That sensation usually lasts through the next day, and
you're thinking "This ain't so bad". Then the next day the pain sets
in and you feel like you've been beat with a ball bat or worse.
I tend have a very similar reaction to overdoing a workout.
