Yes the speedohealer has a remote recall button that you can recall top speed

This is a nice feature to have! Maybe I need to get one.

Hey Dennis, just looking at your photos makes me smile as well. How cool is your first track day! It's like your first solo flight after flight school, makes the adrenalin flow through your body like water!

You look very comfortable on your busa. Maybe the next step should be a Race/Track School. They will teach you how to break those bad habits before they become a problem? I'm off to a Race School tomorrow and looking forward to it. Every time I go I learn something new.

Congratulations on your first day on the track. I bet it won't be your last  :)

Not too bad . I was sore as hell the next day from throwing that thing around though.

I am hooked and will be going again very very very soon! Thanks for the kind words. 22 years of street riding and I finally got on the track.

Was that the Pashnit track day event that he was putting together? And not that it matters but I thought that when you did track days you had to tape up your lights in case of a crash to stop them from scattering pieces all over.

They said I had to tape up everything except my headlight. Yes that was the Pashnit track day I did over 300 miles on the track that day only 12 people rode.
