Considering going down in a few weeks for our season opener. Anybody been? Any comments, reviews, advice? Should we hold off a few weeks and do VIR instead? (cant make Barber like we wanted)
thanks

haha thats funny... how about a TRACK or a RACING SERIES for supermoto??? Beaverun used to run trackdays on their small track (Wilson Circuit) and even had a few racing events. In its heyday they even had Mark Burkhart teach a class, but we all know what happened to that sport
I'm not aware of anything anymore (why we sold our bikes), but you might try supermotojunkies.com or esmra.com

what is this you speak of? I'm getting ready to ditch my DirectTV but want to make sure i've got my SX/MX and MotoGP/WSBK coverage taken care of when i do.I've been buying the MotoGP video pass for the past few years so that helps. I wish we had an environment like BSB. -
Here’s the motor as it sits now. It’s just waiting on the second bike to be stripped down and then the pair will be sent off to Hanshaw Racing Engines.
Tell Jamie that George says hi and to build him one too!

If it's just a bucket list thing and you only plan to do one
haha... good luck with that.

no disrespect to pegram, my point is how well the guy is doing considering he rarely stands on the podium (not once last year) which is what sponsors want to see. i was under the impression that if you weren't top three (these days) you were barely collecting a paycheck and it actually COST money to race if you were mid-pack. he's obviously doing well. my understanding of road-racing economics must be out of whack - at what point does a person make the transition from "pro" but still having a day job, to actually making a living at it???

man i want to be an average professional motorcycle racer when i grow up... sweet house, industrial size out building, M3 and Escalade in the garage, smoking hot wife that WANTS you to race... what was i thinking with my boring career choice????
-
based on the amount of time he spent sliding across the track last year, we really need to be looking for a 1-piece, and of decent quality. thanks for the offers though.

barn find. not pretty. no title. might run, might not. pretty much free. located in Geauga County. would need tires and some plastic for track duty. and probably a chain and a battery. and the carbs cleaned. otherwise ready to go!

i'm going to pass on this, but if anyone else wants it send me a PM. it's be a shame to have it just rot away.

i found an old bike (barn find!) that has no title or bodywork, and looks to have spent its last miles as a stunt bike. i think it runs and i can have the bike for free (brother's barn). considering turning it into a trackday toy - nothing serious, no plans to race, maybe just something that i could throw down the track and not care. might be a good stepping stone for zack (son on ninja250).
some race glass, sliders, and tires and some odds and ends might be less than 1000 invested. worth doing? could i get my money back out of it if i decide to sell it instead (as a track bike)?
-
here ya go. former OR member bike (x2) that's been freshened up.

Depends how quick & comfortable you are! I never ran novice! Straight to intermediate for a couple days then to advanced!
my son was very 'comfortable' too his first year (as a novice), but he spent more time in the crash truck than on track.
unless youre a true natural i think there's plenty to be learned in novice. take it easy.and btw, i dont think STT has membership. we never had to pay.

kinda cool, would like to see in person.

a few years ago i rented a concours 1400 (great sport tourer), started at Phoenix and rode around scottsdale but the weather got ugly. ended up with a mustang convertible rental and had to cover some snow covered roads on the way through prescott, sedona, and jerome. it was awesome. would LOVE to do it again on a BIKE.

just tried placing an order and got the "An error occured while connecting to Paypal." issue. I realized that i had to 'estimate shipping and tax' and for non-zero total to show up before it would work correctly. now it does, and order placed. just FYI for others trying to get some stickers!

dunno if they still run practice / track days on Wilson, but IF they do - make a point of getting there. It's a primo WKA track, and there's probably few tracks as nice for supermoto on the East coast (maybe even west). Even better when they actually had a nice dirt section with nice sweeping blue-groove berms, a couple 25' table tops and a whoop section. Makes me tear up just thinking about it.
I geared my 450x with +1 on the front and the smallest rear the stock chain lenght would allow (so i could swap to dirt easily), and this would just tap about 70mph on the back straight. Supermoto on a big track like big Beaver with a small bike would be amusing for a while, but would get old pretty quick.
The supermoto decline broke my heart. It cost $25 to run all day long, another $50 or so to race, you could bump elbows and even throw the bike away leaned over in 2nd or 3rd gear, and just dust yourself off and jump back on. And to be able to crossover to dirt, added a whole new dimension (like UP!). sorry for the rant.
