Leaderboard

yeah, as much as I love NESBA, I would not call them the best for first-time track riders. I did 2 sessions and was convinced I sucked beyond sucking, and would never enjoy track riding. It all changed for me during my 3rd session when I got some one-on-one instruction. The rest is history. Ride your EX and enjoy it. I did 5 days on my EX, and it's a good tool to learn the basics of track riding without the danger of highsides or overwhelming speed. that said, I still managed to run off track once or twice by not knowing the layout at BeaveRun. T1 is lower than the front straight, so novices really need to be off the gas BEFORE they can see the turn. At least that's my excuse I may just not have been looking far enough down the track. so "will you crash?" That's almost totally up to you. There is no reason to crash at a trackday. I've never seen anyone go from 0-awesome their first day; so ease up and let things happen a little slower. It's safer to push yourself at the track, but it's certainly not required. Ultimately, the high of pushing a bit isn't worth the low of crashing ...at least not early on. For your first day, i would STRONGLY advise: - Riding your own bike. One less variable. - Full leathers, even if the org doesn't require them. Most places rent stuff DAMN cheap. - A small, and/or inexpensive track. First, the fewer turns you have to learn as a newb, the better. Second, a shorter track means more laps, and thus more practice at getting things right. Third, you're on a smaller bike, so a mile long straight is just boring, and higher speeds add to the potential for mistakes. With those things said, Nelson Ledges with MotoSeries or STT is cheap. BeaveRun is in good shape, and on the small side (also relatively cheap). Since you're in NW Ohio, consider Gingerman as well (don't look at the seams!). I have been told Grattan is great, but not easy to learn. If you can avoid a tough layout, you're going to have enough to worry about with your riding Along the same lines, I would skip Mid-Ohio for your first day. It's a world class facility, but fast, expensive, and garbage in the rain. Even with good weather, it would be like losing your virginity to Megan Fox; super fun, but ultimately you wouldn't know enough to really exploit the experience for all it's worth. it's too bad that Summit Point's Jefferson Circuit isn't closer. It's a smaller, tighter track. I've seen a motard keep up with an R1 there, so you're EX500 would be right at home, and as noted, you'd get a LOT more laps in.

Wondering if it's like pulling the pin on a hand grenade. "oh shit now what do we do with it?"

Nelsons is like the crack whore of tracks. Yea it's rough, but it's cheap and fun.

You are fucking hilarious! I will now continue to read more of this thread just because of you.

Just sayin, cuz if he ain't, he dead now.

charliemurphy would be a great name for a dog as well

She probably did have her graduating class injected in to her just not through her arm. She has probably made a lot of bad decisions this is just one them. Now I must friend her. So I can get on some new chic without the wife getting pissed.

I would like to add mandatory birth control to the list as well. The injection kind for women, so they can't just "forget" to take it. Obviously there would be medical exemptions for those who are allergic to that particular drug, or whatever, but if you can't cover your own expenses, adding a child to the budget is beyond counter-intuitive

out, I'm done hanging with you homos...

I vote Ringo You should pick the top 3 or 4 and do a poll

Your windshield, replace it.

Since you've never owned a dog you prolly don't know the importance of having your wife breast feed it though the next few formative months. If she never done this before I could find some time to show her what it feels like so the first time is not a shock. Call me anytime. 867-5309.

Looks shopped. I'd name him Gnomio von teetsucker

I was thinking Punk, as in Uncle Punk. Tod? As in Black Tod?

There's one motorcycle event you couldn't pay me to be part of....not even if you offered a sweet pension, lots of sick days, early retirement and a taxpayer-paid salary that's higher than the private market.

Name it damnit cuz that's what you will say every day you walk into your house for about a six to twelve month period.

Character

Girl I'm seeing is overly girly and so is her 4 y/o daughter. It's like a Hannah Montana episode being around them

I thought Tyler524 had a Honda???

This kinda goes with the topic. I was sitting at a red light in zanesville and a harley pulls up beside me to my right. I have the icon born sinner helmet with the naked angel on the side. The conversation follows: Harley dude "hey!! Nice helmet!" Turns and starts giggling with the Meth addict behind him Me "thanks. Nice bandana." Harley dude "nice bike! Sounds good..... my stereo is louder!!!!!!!" Turns to mock me with his Hooker again. Me "thanks but the problem is real motorcycles don't have radios!" Harley dude *speachless* Light *green* Me *smiling*

I guess we will never know... Bring it on fuckers...
