Even some track guys use it instead of the tech air race. Because the a*'s are having production issues with getting enough tech air race's produced due to microchips (or so I've heard). STG offered to do a swap with my tech air race (ordered in December) to the tech air 5. But considering I spent $1600+ on a suit I want my LED's to work and have my 2 deployments.

Congrats! Welcome to the thunder dome!

Yea man, I was wanting to work with you too but my day was cut very short.

A common issue on the triumph daytona's is the charging harness melting at the connectors because of the increased resistance of those shitty quick disconnects. I've had the hardware fail before on my other 675 but it never caught fire. This time I came in from coaching the first session of novice on sunday morning and was talking to a student and catch what looked like smoke out of the corner of my eye. I look down and there are flames coming out from under my bodywork. I put it on the kickstand (thank god this bike has one) and started trying to rip my helmet off while in my mind I was already prepared to watch my bike burn to the ground. Got the fire stopped without huge damage.

Not I. I'm waiting on a new r/r and stator as my bike caught fire at pirc last weekend.

With that wait time I woulda ordered 2 lol.

Picture from NCBike in honor of PIRC this weekend.

If you parted the TRS that would go pretty fast tbh. You'd still be stuck with the trailer but at least youd have some cash in your pocket faster.

Did a bit of riding this weekend. First pic is Jester and I.

Sounds good man! We'd love to have you out again! Hmm, you sure you had the correct date selected? You can PM my your N2 account ID and I can look to see maybe why that happened.

What is your level of track riding experience? It's a good program. You have classroom sessions in between on-track sessions where you work with a coach dedicated to the ATP class (low student to instruction ratio) go over video, etc. It runs as an add-on to the track day. So you'll have to purchase the track day as well as ATP. Lmk if you have any other questions. In case you didnt see this: https://www.n2td.org/atp/

It's not full - not even close. It will be full since it's a Friday before a endurance race weekend. Did you create an account to give yourself access to the online portal? Yes we had lower than average numbers last weekend at PIRC (totally a cheap place to rent ) and still ran the day. Unlike Mid-Ohio.

Lol I forgot how to ride a motorcycle.

Heck yea!

Try getting a hold of him on Facebook. Search for his business name Late Apex. He's been powdercoating and painting.

Nice to meet you as well. Glad you had a good time, look forward to seeing you out there in the future.

Was wondering if there was going to be a post about this. Glad you 2 are on the mend. Like I've told you many times since this happened, lmk if you or Amanda need anything, seriously.

Yup, its a bbq place local to Pitt Race thats actually pretty darn good. They have a permanent concessions trailer out in the paddock. They serve breakfast and lunch. Usually gone at dinner time though. There is a sandwitch shop down the road less than 5 min called Al's Corner. Nice little spot with some sammiches and hot food. There other options slightly further away. See you there.

Not grattan. Go to Nelsons or Pitt Race. Nelsons is easier to learn/ride. Both have good pavement.

The fuck you bring up a thread from 2012 for?

Took 16 with @Pauly and @Tonik on the way down to the dragon and it was one of my favorite street memories to this day.

Now you're mixing cars with bikes. Just stop there -this is about bikes. Working on bikes is 1000x easier in my experience than working on cars. I havent heard of any of the indoor carting places anywhere near the state of ohio allowing minis to ride on the track. The liability of that is high and the insurance would be outrageous I'd imagine.

Where do you draw the line though? Intermediate riders are in the thunder dome. Riding with people fresh out of novice and people on the cusp of advanced group. It's arguably the riskiest group to ride in. Some simple additional requirements is a no-brainer. Literally all of the options are easy, drill yourself, buy a pre-drilled bolt, or silicone. How long does it honestly take someone to put a glob of silicone on a bolt? If someone isn't willing to do some simple things, what's that say about their other maintenance habits? I don't want those kind of lazy people riding on track tbh.
