Advance level had red flag in first session,second not sure,we never get out for third one because of the air lift.This was not normal day for this track,come back in 2 weeks with motoseries and you will experience completely different riding. Last time I was there with Nesba I count 24 crashes,last Saturday wasn't much better.i guess N2 don't learn much from Nesba. That's why everybody who was not happy last weekend should come this weekend to midohio

This is when you help them pack up and tell them to have a nice day.

So, I gave my wife the weird wood last night, and she loved it. Big thanks to KZ Kari for the engraving and Bowdog for the 26 coats of clear. Pay no attention to my state of inebriation. The pic was taken after everyone left the party last night.

I have military orders to live in Qatar for a year. I will be selling the bikes & trailer in the spring and leaving the base at the end of March '15. My wife and daughter will live in Mississippi while I am gone. This is gonna be tough( my little girl is only 2). I have no idea where we will go after that. Thinking either Illinois or somewhere on the left coast. I don't need to sell the bikes, but I want something different when I get back...and no sense of another year of depreciation. I am hoping to get a few more quality rides. Hopefully I will make the ride on the 27th. DerekClouser assumes full responsibility for my actions, lol.

Also, since there is such a large audience enjoying this thread, I'd like to point your attention to the beautiful 2007 Kawasaki ZX6R Track Bike for sale in the classifieds section of this esteemed forum. PM me with any questions, and enjoy the rest of your evening.

Nice IP!!! It'll be good to see you and the Mrs at PIRC. Me and the woman will be there for the weekend, stop on down and say hey.

This weeks projects Toyota skid plate Stainless keg/home brew modifications And pictured is beginnings of a banshee wheelie bar (4130 chromoly)

Absolutely can, act an Asshat one time at Mid O and I can name several CR that will show you to the gate. Two just posted, Brian and Rusty will both have you escorted out. Doesnt even have to be a CR, if Medical or Corner Workers see something we report it to Brian, Mike or Todd and it gets addressed too. Asshats do not last more than a session there. This right here.

I still like what Mike at Mid-O says. In a pass it is the passers responsibility to pass in a way that doesn't take the rider that is being passed out of his or her comfort zone. I think that is a good rule for track days.

Some bubbys stopped by to borrow my trailer early Monday am. And talk me into adding a plus 2value to my entire existing map and go riding. We did get hit by some rain mid day. We road under the big bridge near Monday creek, and waited it out for 30 mins or so. Road over 60 miles, 2 sport quads, one 4X4 and 1 dirty bike..

RK97 is way off. First, it was an inside pass. It was setting up for the turn, but going into the turn as an inside line. The CR is an idiot and did a pass that was 100% avoidable. He crossed the path of the bike he was overtaking and should have held the line SUPER tight into the turn. He did not. The second issue is that the rider in the vid was waiting to pass a slower rider as he approached said turn knowing he shouldn't pass on the inside and even if so, might have been inside the 6' rule. The CR saw the slower rider in front (I am giving a HUGE benefit of the doubt) and tried to overtake BOTH riders. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE PASSING RIDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PASSING IN ACCORDANCE TO THE RULES AND SAFELY... In the process, taking out the posting guy. This happens when you get CRs that race vs. teach. Happens all the time and honestly, probably a "racer" that is not up to the task to help at a track day and certainly isn't capable of judging and adapting to the situation. Look, close passes happen. I am guilty as anyone. The speed difference can lead to some sketchy issues. But the CR was easily heard early enough he could have shut it down and at worse case, been REALLY tight to the grass on the right side. He didn't. He blasted past the guy... As for lap times? 1:10 isn't novice times. Maybe Novice RACER times, but not Novice Group times. This is also another issue where arguing times is about as dumb as arguing if that guy hit the other rider. The times of in the teens up to say, 1:15 is an Intermediate time for sure. 1:0X is an advance time at a track day. Maybe more like up to 1:07... Finally, RK... Leave the teaching to people with ability. The design of passing on straights is to keep riders safe! If a rule applies to pass only on a straight, that is to keep the passing rider who is over their head from playing Bowling For Dollars. The idea is that the typical group with straights only passing is that they do not have the ability to pass on the outside at minimum in fear of poor judgement. Passing inside is even more dangerous and therefore, not allowed in I Group. The fact is that the groups mean something. Passing on on straights will teach nothing about drive and entry speed or especially braking techniques. What it does is prevent bone head moves or chance taking. Allowing I Group to pass on the inside for example is dangerous because they will dive in under braking THINKING they can outbrake and pass someone and simply plow into others, low side from too much trailing, etc. The reasons for this is they will get in too deep for their ability to handle and thus, make a grave error. Ability is the key. Each group has a rule for passing for a reason. It is based on ability.

I have a near perfect chrome set off of a 750 magna.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Lol nick. Was about to tell him to hit you up.

I have the full exhaust from a 2012 busa limited the only has about 100 miles on it. PM for info.

So did the CR get his picture taken with his crown after winning King of Intermediate?

Ha, I was actually looking a Diesel's before I started looking for a Wrangler. I had decided on the 7.3 as well. Wait it out until you find the "right" one. Good luck with your search.

I have OEM Dual mufflers from a Ducati Sportclassic I am looking to offload. Removed when the bike was brand new, they have never been used.

This topic seemed to have died of all of the sudden. Haven't heard anything about it in the news at all. It's crazy that it was all over the news for what seems like the perfect amount of time to distract from how the government seems to be downplaying the isis threats. Now all of the sudden nothing.

Looks nice! I recognize the expression on your wife's face... It's the one that says "I'll humor him because I love him, but I really don't want this picture posted on the internet"

Final product.

It really sucks that this society has became so dependent on lawsuits to compensate peoples mistakes and bad choices that you need to post a disclaimer just to deny them your hard earned money.

FOR SURE !

LocalRiders crew does a group ride to the Waynesville/BRMC area every Sept.

We're leaving Tuesday morning after Labor Day and coming back the following Sunday, so maybe our paths will cross. Have fun!!! Another fun route that's easy to follow is take 70 south from Jonesville, VA all the way to Hot Springs, NC, then 209 south to Waynesville.
