what

I can probably make 8/22, meet up with the group in coshocton.

Saw one of these guys driving the other way on Fishinger blvd yesterday on my home from work... There's one guy I see fairly often who I call Old Man Ferrari that owns at least 3 F430's, just different colors (he may have more... there's a blue one, a red one, a green one and I think a yellow one). It may have been him. I want to know who this dude is. He's always wearing a brimmed fishing hat and is probably in his late 60's/early 70's. 

striples are great bikes and this isn't a bad price. 

Yep. 3 hours of slabtastic fun from Cbus on 70, unless I can find a better route. 

Anyone else leaving from Columbus on Friday afternoon?

Looks like I'll be able to make it if it's the 12th. Pittsburgh starts on the 13th. 

phew. 

I'm signed up for novice on Wednesday. Going to ride the bike up though unless someone from Columbus is trailering up and doesn't mind letting me tag along. 

Pretty sure between my tank bag and backpack I can fit everything I'll need though. Track virgin. 

Why

As always, thanks for organizing this Derek.

I'll be there if I can. I know I have to be in Pittsburgh the week of the 14th but I'm not sure if I'm there this weekend or not yet. This will be the last ride before I'm an ancient 30 years old so I really hope I can make it.

Medium or medium-fast for me.

Well, sold my CTS on Friday and just bought this today.

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo with 30k on the clock

How is it as far as road noise is concerned? I looked at these a bit last year and that was one of the things I was seeing as a downside to owning one.

New brake pedal is on the way and will be installed this week to replace the "modified" one. Easily adds at least $2500 to the value of the bike but just for OR I'll keep the price the same.

Cheaper than mine. Damn you!

I managed to get the drain plug out, just to discover that they had hulk fisted the god damn oil filter on too. I broke 2 of those rubber strap filter removers trying to get it off. Pipe vice grips worked well though. 5 hour oil change :|

Hope you managed to get some good riding in, it was a beautiful day.

My knee has been effed up since an airplane ride last Friday (thanks United, your hard plastic seat-backs suck ass) and the SV aggravates it so I'll probably be on the Triumph, assuming I can get the oil problem sorted out. Needs to get done and tomorrow is the only day I have to do it in the next week and a half.

I might be. Gotta get my oil changed first though... whatever numbskull did the last oil change rounded off the plug bolt head, been a process trying to get it off.

Glad your buddy is doing alright (Mike?), sorry to hear about your bike though man. Did the frame get damaged or something? Looked like bent forks/bars when we left.

I'll try not to dump stuff on ya from the penthouse above.

Oh, I'm in the penthouse I think. 

Not the magazine, the stands at the track. 

The only IPA I have ever had that I've actually thought was decent was Heady Topper. I'm not convinced that IPAs aren't for me quite yet so I'll try some of the suggestions in here.

B stand it is for race day. 

B08 seat 3 I believe. Who's the poor bastard that's ended up next to me?

hey now, only about 15% of my facial hair is ginger, and we prefer yeti, sasquatch is insensitive. 

Doubt I can make any of the September dates. Damn fall months and being out of town 90% of the time for work.

Of course, as other people's mothers always said, the world doesn't revolve around me.

You bought your buddy's 848

It's bikes like this that lead to (ir)responsible decisions. 

E Penthouse for race day? Turn 1 seems like fun. 

Find a new internet provider. 

I've been lucky with TWC and really have had no issues beyond a spat of random signal interruptions this spring (that were all magically resolved if I called and had them run a speed test on their end). Essentially they know what's wrong but they don't want to spend the money to fix it so they'll just keep giving you the run-around until you finally give up. It must be great having limited competition because you've got washington in your pocket.
