All of the bikes were quite fun, really, and the Brutale was one of my favorites. While I was completely geared up with protective UglyBROS usa jeans, a Dainese GT400 jacket, RevIt Jerez Gloves, and my trusty Elsinore boots, I didn’t have proper track apparel. That didn’t stop me from having some fun anyway. Separated into groups of four or five, we all hopped onto bikes and followed Bruce, the MV Agusta technical guru (and a track instructor) onto the track at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA.

Having fun face! I’m actually smiling, but I look kind of scared. Ha!
It rained a bit just before the last group (the one I was in) which sort of sucked but didn’t cause me much worry. Being from Portland I’ve done plenty of riding in the rain. After we all ate lunch we spent some more time on track in smaller groups sort of riding as we wanted. Bruce and I spent some one on one time on the track where he offered me some advice on my riding position and cornering- though he said he was impressed with my lines. Yay! What a dream come true. I had a lot of fun leaning the MVs over in the corners and giving them some serious throttle in the straights.

Ever look back at photos from trips and realize that you don’t have any with your motorcycle? Photos with people included are way more memorable, even though we love looking at our sexy machines. Amanda Zito and I made a little how-to video with tips and tricks for snapping photos of you on your bike!
