Bike is sold! Sold on a triumph forum but it did stay local.

Pricing on a daytona 675 for both optimal and armour bodies please.

^ this. I can only assume a sale of all your gear means you're getting out of racing? I guess sometimes more important things come up but I hope to see you around!

I'm looking for a good pit bitch to provide services like tire warmer removal and install, putting bike on stand, holding umbrella, whispering in my ear and telling me how fast I am, and slapping my ass and reassuring me I'm still a badass when I finish in the back of the pack after a race. Do you have any photos of what you might be wearing? The sluttier the better....

Depending who you talk to, the track is a great place to break it in. There's 2 different theories of breaking in an engine though, one is keep it under a certain rpm for so many miles, then keep it under a little higher rpm and so on. This is what the dealer tells you to do. The other is just go balls to the walls with it, but make sure you vary the rpms and don't keep it at any one rpm too long. If you choose the latter, the track is a perfect place. Personally I've done both and didn't have problems with either method.

I agree! Come on out to the MotoSeries event June 8-9 at nelson ledges there will be a lot of us there.

Well get that thing back together, (right this time) and get it broken in. Everybody is bailing out this round, I need someone to run with on Sunday.

Yes it does. The good thing is I rarely work weekends so it doesn't normally get in the way of my trackdays. This is just the 3rd time in 3 years I've had to work a Sat or Sun.

I'm signed up for Sat running advanced and racing superbike 1, 2, and mini 20. Unless we have an endurance team by then??? I'll skip the mini 20 for that.

How do you know you put them in upside down short of pulling the head and cylinders?

Have you looked into it much? Checked the plugs, compression check or anything? Hope you get it sorted out.

Would like to go but I have some unfortunate work bullshit to do that weekend.

Hahaha I didn't know you were a stunta Matt. No feet wheelie what other tricks do you do?

I think the rear handle is easier to use. I've seen others using the forward handle type and it just looks awkward and clumsy. Disadvantage of the rear handle is it sticks out far and takes up more room. The front handled ones are supposed to be easier for 1 person I think but I've never had a problem putting mine on the stand myself.

Thanks for the info. Its been years since I went there with my car and I remembered that we were basically running as many times as we could. This must have been the "time trials" part of the night. I don't think we stayed for the eliminations. Sorry for making you drive all over for nothing last night Jinu!

Scott if you need help building a ramp or something so you can wheel him out let me know. Just...turn around and ask. I'm 5 feet away.

Yes it was a worthless trip, and the gate attendant was even more worthless. I was hoping she could tell me a little about the format but she was just interested in telling us we were late and giving us a schedule with the same lack of info that's on their website.

Tell that to the people who passed me in 13, lol. I think it has more to do with how much I had to slow down to keep it inside the patches. I'm not getting a good drive out following that either.

I'm thinking more of a "just the tip" kind of effort. Pretty much the same as "getting feet wet" except it involves woman parts instead of cold, wet feet in the comparison. I don't think we're aiming to win any championships. Heck, we are already a round and almost 100 laps behind. I was thinking more like 1 bike, some spare parts in case of a minor crash that is easily repairable, and hoping we don't have to cross the blown engine or totalled bike bridges. We can talk details later but just throwing out my expectations, which are rather low.

I just realized watching this video that I am trying too hard to take a line inside all the patchwork on turn 13. Everyone else seems to be going over it fine. I was told by a control rider back in my novice days that you should never ride over that patchwork on a hot day as it was "slick" and it has been permanently engraved in my mind to not do it. I know I seem to lose a lot of time there and I bet this is why. New line through 13 will be tried out at the next track day.

Did the exact same thing on my bike this spring. I bought a z400 that I completely rebuilt over the winter. After messing with that thing so much I hopped on the bike, turned the key on...and blew the horn.

They were all trying, I had to fight them off.

It was kinda like your momma, we all took her out for a ride.

"We" is just a term used to denote people in general. More specifically, those of us on ORDN that tend to frequent the Moto Series road race championship, and have expressed interest in forming an endurance team. Hope that clears things up for you.

Thoughts...sounds like there's enough of us interested to form at least 2 teams? 3-4 riders per team? We are all friends now, but I think a contract of some sort would help us all stay that way. It's funny how when money is involved things can suddenly change...
