I never said said the yammi's weren't chuck full of technology. I said that hayes doesnt use it. And for the 1/4 of the field, it was the lower quater of the field. im not an idiot, the top 5-10 riders every race qualify within 1 second of each other.

If tommy went to graves and josh went rockstar, given they both has time to learn the new bikes, the stats would remain relitively the same. Jake Zempke raced a 1k zuki last year and swept daytona, this year in DSB on a r6 he set pole. Telling you, its the riders and how comfortable they feel on a track.

I agree with the 848 evo looking really fast in the first three races. But has anyone stepped back and considered that maybe jason DiSalvo has 9 year years experience, and has finally found a package/sponsor that he can win with?

Rider ability is 95% of how these guys win. Not every team is going to get their bike dialed in for every race weekend. I am a zuki guy through and through but here is an example: Josh Hayes, probable the nicest and most talented SBK racer that i have met currently racing AMA. He is lap leader in almost every race on his in on a cross plane r1 that uses no traction control electronics. There is probably more money in one rockstar makita suzuki 1k than 1.5 of his bikes. Im not taking anything away from tommy gun but when he or blake win it is by technology and when Hayes's tires are smoked.

I guess my babbling concluded, its the rider people. Josh Hayes would beat 1/4 of the SBK field on a yzf-r6.

All the guys i rode with last year apparently fell off the face of the planet this season. Looking for any sportbikes that want to ride. I live in a town around mt. vernon. (50 min north of cbus on 71). I like to run at all paces. I dont really care where we ride. Just post up and we could find a common meeting point for all that want to go. Im looking to go early this afternoon.

Going to be around mohican around 530. Post up if you wanna join.

Going to be around mohican tonight around 530. Post up if you want to join up.

Sorry guys. Gonna have to go without me. Had somthing come up.

Prob not going to gahana. Pretty far for me. I71/36 is prob half way for me. Is there anything good around there?

Where you guys meeting up? Cuz I live around an hour from cbus.

Depends on where everyone is comming from. Like to pick a rout about in the middle of where people live. That way, when people need to get home they can just branch off and not have a hour ride home. What town are you from?

Sense this is the first day in which seems like forever there is no rain. I am trying to put a group togeather to go for a hour or so ride this evening. I live in a Town called fredericktown that is a few min north of mt Vernon. If you want to go, post on this page and we will set a meeting point. Planning on meeting at 5:30-6:00.

appears that you ride a 1 liter ferrari eater. basically a rocket on wheels

I am from a town a little north of Mt. Vernon. I wanting to take a little ride next sat or sun if the weather permits. Just seeing if anyone else has hit the breaking point of weather sanity yet. If you are from central ohio area and want to meet up for a ride either post or send a message.

You pay for express shipping on a new exhaust pipe in the middle of January cuz you just can't stomach waiting a week.

I AGREE but that's all we really have around here.

I would, but I'm in Dayton.

Yeah man, Vietnam would be a haul.

Anyone dragging anywhere else this evening?

A few of us are taking our bikes to pacemakers in my Vernon tonight around 645. Trying to get as many bikes as possible. It is only 1/8 mile track but is fun cheap and legal entertainment. Post up if you wanna meet up with us.

Sharp ride man...

thanks for putting up the pics for me bret.

Not a problem man. Technology never works when you want it to. Lol.

367 feet? 10-15 flips? How fast was he going??

I was riding with him that evening. We were stupid and going too fast. It could have been any or us. He is a good rider, just had too much speed and there was a on-coming car. For sure lucky to be alive. I posted pics on marco's post on the daily ride forum. Keep him in your prayers please...

Well at least there wasn't anything in the way to hit' date=' that probably saved his life![/quote']

Oh for sure, if he would have hit that sign he would have been DOA! That why i say that i truly believe the good lord was watching over him!!! Not too many people thrash it that bad and can live to tell the tail...

He was moving all extrimities at the scene, but i will leave all the details for tbmustange, he has been down to the hospital to see him...
