MMI 3. The Michiana Crew.

[crfjedi393]

That's a new word I learned at MMI. Michiana.
Before this thought get's lost I want to express my gratitude to the entire crew up there. These guys are all extremely happy to help another rider reach his/her potential. I think they get as much pleasure helping someone attain a goal as they do in attaining one of their own. Drawing on their experience and advice helped me attain my goals and I knew I could trust them. Shoup(as in shout) rides a 250F so I relied on him a lot. Shoup, your my new best friend.
Anyway, I just wanted to bring up the fact that these guys are great people. You might hear them boast a bit now and then but they can back it all up.
A BIG THANK YOU to the hotshots of MMI 3!!!!!

You know its funny you said that. Hersh and I were talking at length Sunday night after Red Bud about the feeling you get when helping someone achieve a goal. At the point in life where most of us are, its a much better feeling then going out and achieving a goal ourselves.

It was an absolute pleasure getting to know you a little better Jedi, and congrats on achieving your goals.

I absolutely couldn't agree with this more, Jedi!

These guys are not only freakin' fast, but they sure don't look down on us spodes either. If Shoup tells you something is 3rd gear pinned, then he means it. And Hersh, if there's something I want to clear, he'll lead me over and I have complete confidence in following. And of course, there's Jim....who really likes to push me in corners and then talk about it afterwards.

I had a great time riding with these guys and feel pretty confident that I'm a better rider than I was when we unloaded the bikes. Huge thanks to the Michiana crew...you guys are awesome!

Thanks Char.....I know I speak for all of us when I say it was our pleasure.

Thank you guys for driving 1200 miles to come ride with us.

Char and Jedi it was a pleasure riding with you guys this weekend.

I have to agree with Jim when i say i get as much joy out of seeing some one achieve their goals as i do with my own. Char you have FOR SURE stepped it up from last year. Jedi, to be honest you suprised the snot out of me. " that was pg rated for the site". And to all that i dont remember your names it was great meeting you, and hope to cross paths again soon.

Shoup ol' buddy, you were with me again today. I tackled a rhythm section at Nocona MX that I wouldn't have done without your words of wisdom.

I wish I could have seen the 90'er at Jim's you hit, I think I was already on the way home that day... I have been dreamin about that jump!
I did meet you Jedi, I was looking for the engine ice in my truck when you were fishin for a bolt. I rode the 120 Yami for a little while, I was still stiff from the injury, but made the ride.It was still fun, and I love Motoman's track and environment! Very like me, is the local crew, what up Hersh and AL!

[crfjedi393]

I gotcha bro.

Jedi, its great to see someone progress with there riding. As i get older and wiser i seem to make better decisions when tryin new jumps. But generally 3rd gear wide open is your best bet!! Lol!!! great to see you so stoked!!
