Being from Canada I'm supposed to know a little bit of French since they taught it to us for 10 years straight...but I don't remember a thing!! So bare with me because my French is very bad.

Tech3 is becoming such a well rounded team...keep it up!:o

Well, I had the opportunity to go to Laguna Seca this year and that's where I learned more of Tech3 (I've heard of them before). I was able to meet one member of the Tech3 team which is actually what brought me here because I need to shoot and email off to him but I have no idea who he is. Miguel is a great rider but you're right, he didn't do too well at Laguna. I race here in Canada, so MotoGP (although I'll NEVER come close to that level) is something I take great interest in.

For the record, it's hockey, beer and maple syrup! :p Also, Je suis une fille.

Fizz - Welcome my English buddy!

I race at a Regional level and in the womens novice class. I just started this year so I have alot of learning ahead of me. But right now I'm dealing with an injury from a crash so I'm not on the bike :mad:, I also have to fix the bike lol. The local Canadian race team that took me under their wing as their 'Novice Racer' is called GoLo Racing. I'm also their Public Relations Rep on my off time, so I do all the charity events, write all the press releases, organize track lapping days, etc.

If you guys are on Facebook we also have a group there and you can see photos and get updates:

Facebook is huge here in Canada I don't know how popular it is there in Europe.

The team website is www.goloracing.com (http://www.goloracing.com) it desperately needs updating though. I think only the main page is updated lol. Enjoy anyway...

I don't ride any bikes mainly cause my mum won't let me. Anyway. I just prefer watching bike racing than anything else. I like anything that is got to do with motor racing.

It will be difficult to find which of the Tech3 member you met at Laguna Seca because there are all very nice ;)

I met one of them at Le Mans this year and my husband and me were staying the monday for the test day due to him ... it be a very good experiencie :) and I hope I could show you the picture of this moment in a short time delay because actualy we don't have internet anymore as we have just moved of place ... :(

For the bike I have got 2 R6 2006 : one for the road and one for the off-road and sometimes I take the MT03 of my husband :p

My mother is worry when I ride but since I did 2 days of "off-road lesson" (excuse me but I don't know how you say "stage de pilotage" in english), she feels less stressed.

I began to ride with a suzuki SV N (sorry :o) and after I had got a Yamaha R1 2002 :rolleyes: and now the R6 are my first 2 bikes which be buying news :p

Two 2006 R6's? You lucky girl! I had the chance to ride that on the track and it was alot of fun!! I wasn't used to the luxury of having a slipper clutch.

My first bike was a '01 R6 that I loved dearly but sold it to buy my race bike. I have a '03 R6 with all the toys on it (ohlins suspension, damper, power commander, etc.) the engine was tuned for racing so I have a bit of extra horsepower, which I definately don't need but I'm not complaining :p. I wish I can buy a new bike...that would be nice. I would love to know what it's like to have 0kms on the bike. But my poor student/racing budget wont allow for that. I'm trying to save for next years racing, damn is it ever expensive!! I'm also saving for another trip to Lagina Seca in 2008!! :D

MissBetty, when you took the off road course... was it like a day at the track? If so, those are so addictive! And you learn so much there too.

When you get a chance to post the pictures, put them up I'd love to see them!

As for the member of the team, I'm sure I'll bump into them if they frequent the forum.

2 bikes ... I'm a real lucky girl but iut was not difficult to convience my husband :D

I said him : "The road is dangerous and I would like to learn to ride better in order to prevent the road dangers but I don't want to ride on a track with my bike because I will be afraid to crash it and I want to keep it so the better way is to have an other specific bike forecast only for the track" and he says "ok, but you have to learn in a 1st time with Dominique Sarron because he is a good teacher".

:rolleyes:
