its not?

I suggest flat bottom. Allows you to get into more shallow depths.

Windscreen sold. Anyone need a cheap engine?

I have an 08 wr250x that came with the power core4 muffler and the power bomb header. I also have the FMF tuner. As you all know its stupid loud. I have since swapped the stock exhaust system back on. It runs nicely with the tuner and the air box mods I have done with the stock exhaust, but its lost a little top end with the more restrictive exhaust. Is there anything out there that isn't so crazy loud and still flows well? 

glad everyone is relatively OK. Prayers go out for a speedy recovery. 

92, you were rolling around there pretty damn good for being your first time at Mid-O.  Glad you and everyone else had a good time.  Hard to ask for a better day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks man! I appreciate it. I was initially rather intimidated by the track. I've done two days at putnam, but as you know, they are entirely different beasts. I was thankful to have logged as many miles as I have in the mountains and to be comfortable with the elevation changes and off camber turns.  I had a fantastic time. I probably won't make it back until spring, but I'm sure looking forward to it! 

just think, no gravel, no cars, no deer, just WOT throttle and some fun. 

Why wait for Kart tracks? You could've brought it to Mid Ohio with me

It's coming next time. I didn't think they'd let me run it for whatever the reason!

I may swing by g&j sat and run some laps if I'm able too. What do they require to ride ?

I ride a wr250x daily. It's my commuter. Haven't hit the kart track with it yet, but it's coming soon.

Do you have any video footage? I'd love to see some of me from behind.I will look through the rest of my footage and see if I came up on you at all. I know I have some of a fellow on an rc51.  How do you like your 675 on the track? 

Helmutt, snot and I ventured to mid ohio on 7/18

Rode my first mid ohio PTR...

Mid ohio ran a fantastic novice program. Learned a lot. The people were great. Huge props to them.

Heres one of my novice sessions. I started out in group 6, because I'd never been on mid ohio before. The CR told me to move to a faster group. I spoke with the guy running the novice group, and he told me to meet him in hot pit for the next session. We ran a session between group 2 and 3 and then ran a session behind group 1. He then threw at me we were going out in front of group 1, and thats what him and I did the rest of the day. Heres the first session him and I went out ahead of group one. My lines aren't perfect, but I sure had fun. The SV is way more fun on the track than I ever imagined.

I don't know what you ride or what kind of pace you ride but I can tell you they are not even close at the pace I like to keep. 

I'll just take your advice and steer away from them. Good looking out. 

thats rad!

Or he just wants to move it! 

Great track day yesterday, aside from everyone going down. Learned a lot , ready for the next one! 

Make me an offer. I need the space in my garage.

I had a gen one for quite awhile. I know your after a gen 2, but my thoughts on the gen 1 are this. Long distance's its fantastic. Gobs of power, handles great with the right mods. I loved mine for a long time, until I fell in love with sumo. 

I do the Triangle on the way in and skip the bottom of it. Just grab 116 off of 75 at exit 129. Run 116 then drop down 62 to 140. That drops you right by the airport/Marysville. Nice easy ride across foothills pkwy then to get into the mountains.

Sounds like a good route to me! Thanks

Very cool

Overkill ... Never

I gotta say, the ride from Fontana to the triangle was terrible. I probably won't do the triangle again unless I'm just passing through. Triangle was OK but I'd rather ride 28 back and forth all day long than ride to the triangle again.

I have a 2002 fz1 engine that would turn this thing into a rocket ship cheaply....

I signed up for the Monday track day through Motohio in Columbus. My first track day so I'm looking forward to it. If anyone else is going that would be willing to give me some pointers that would be awesome!

show up with an open mind, and willing to learn. Also be ready for the addiction. It will happen. Get a good nights sleep before hand, and stay hydrated. eat light .

I'll be riding friday. and heading home friday night.
