bwahahaha

exactly. someone start a thread called "Tire Usage Issues: I can't get a set of tires to last more than a weekend, HELP!"

with the exception of the countryman, most minis are built in a UK plant. the parts are a different matter... don't know where they're from. I do know a lot of the parts are stamped "BMW" (since bmw owns mini)

yeah in the time from my first to third track day, i apparently went batshit knee-dragging crazy and burned through a set of pucks, so i learned to "skim" not "plant" the pucks after i found out decent pucks at $40 for a set. third season now, and i'm still on the klucky pucks that i bought after i burned through the first pair.

knee pucks are expensive. i do not recommend dragging knee.

i had one of the 1st gens with the superchargers (the S's are now turbo). they are awesome cars. crazed following, back in the day. i like them, i'll probably pick up an older supercharged version later when I get more garage space.

nice! let us hope for better weather this time. i'm in regardless, though.

i believe it's invite only? i could be wrong.

uhh... what happened to it?

howdy, welcome from mentor. if you see a short kid on a way too tall ktm, a ghey looking blue scooter, or whatever it is i'm riding that day, try not to laugh too hard. see ya around

is that your front brake MC or rear? i dont think we really use brakes on our rides anyway

you can fix those for less than $50. hope you didn't take too big of a hit on it.

no, the HP2 is the basis for the S1000RR, therefore it's pretty much the same fucking thing. GAWD

they'll know it's not me cause the inflatable doll won't be fapping like fucking crazy all day. maybe if i put a motor on it to move the arm up and down...?

it looks like a Na'vi with a gambling problem.

wanna do these but too much of a cheap bastard to take a day off. maybe on a slow day, I'll ditch the shop and get some riding in. better than riding for just a couple hours on friday evening.

that's awesome. race school is fun. i'm guessing your bike is fully prepped already (Moto Series tech is almost the same as WERA). ask lots of questions and be open minded when the race school guys give feedback. they have very good info. are you gonna race the sunday after?

ladyboy?

again, my point was that Todd tried whatever he could to get riders extra time on track, and to provide my counter point to the claim that his actions were part of some devious scheme to quiet the masses. Since I am not privy to the business and legal arrangements of Moto Series and Nelson, my post relates to the matter of what I believe to be his intentions, only. I've appended the "shot down" part to "declined" for clarity, however.

i'm still interested in the rear. if brian no longer wants the front, pauly's arrangement would work for me as well. maybe i'll finally get my front pin stand back from pauly now. lol

I think the fact that he at least tried to get the track to remain open longer is indicative of him looking out for the riders that day given the unusual circumstances of that event. Whether Todd has control of the contracted hours of the corner workers and EMT's is not something I would know, but whenever there are special circumstances in a business arrangement, it is not unheard of to make special allowances. Todd tried to get Nelson (and the support staff) to allow the riders more time, they declined. While everyone has opinions, and I understand where you're coming from and see how you might see it that way, I disagree that his well intended actions and honest efforts are cause to say he lacks honesty or integrity. My opinion is that his actions are indicative of someone who is doing the best he can for the riders, even if it is a long shot that anything will come of his efforts.

the only thing that is for certain is that the weather will change

or get cheeky and lock it.. but leave the windows down. that'll teach 'em

pansies, i'm posting on OR while riding. don't believe me?

and that was before they threw that vagina breaker on there.
