I had the pleasure (or embarrassment) of literally following Fillmore and Knapp at ACS 2 weeks ago, where the KTM/HMC crew were testing/practicing. OK, Fillmore followed me first usually, but not for long ... He would then proceed to shame me (every session). everyone on a bone stock CBR1000RR (had sticky buns only). Amusing trailing that guy, as that bike spent a lot of time sideways.
It was a pretty cool day (temps, low of about 37 at first session, high of about 55); track was super green and still damp from storms that didn't end until the wee hours that morning. Sun never really never came out entirely, so in fairness to all, finding traction was a challenge - remarkably only one bike got tossed in Expert (to protect the innocent, no names will be put forward) . Nearly all bailed so early, that one of my buddies had the whole track to himself solo for an entire session.
