Tigho's First Track Day: If you look closely, you can see my raw determination, fear and unadulterated exhilaration.

So, after nearly four years of riding a Ducati in New York City, one of my friends finally got me out to the race track on my 996.  I'll tell the full story in a later post...

Last week, a friend of mine (a fellow DOCNYC member who would like to remain anonymous at this point), who helped push me over the edge buying a 996 instead of a BMW S1000RR,
 fell in love with my bike so deeply he bought one of his own, purchasing a 2002 998.
 He and I are just itching to get out and ride this spring, though the weather hasn't really warmed up enough to ride very far.
 As we were driving up the Palisades Parkway in my friend's van, it started to snow, which turned into nearly blizzard conditions by the time we got up to Fort Montgomery.
