I make aluminum fuel cells for jetskis on the side. It can be a lot of work but I enjoy welding and it makes decent money.
-
We've got a couple of Makerbots at work that we use constantly. They are reliable but the heated bed is a must. I'm trying to get them to buy us one of the new metal printers/ovens, only $120k and you can print damn near any metal!

Ohio Riders Unofficial Mid-Ohio Track Day 2018
Limitedslip7 replied to TimTheAzn's topic in Track is Crack
Bought my four for the year... -
I've heard the foot pedals and torches are terrible on those machines compared to the higher end brand name TIGs, so you might want to factor in the cost of upgrading those if you are going to use it much. I'm a Miller guy myself, but I've heard really good things about the Lincoln Square Wave TIG 200. It's quite a bit more expensive at $1500 but probably has a decent pedal and torch already. Still quite a bit cheaper than the higher end $5000 TIGs...

Was the beach packed there with cruisers? A lot of beach vendors hounding you? I made the mistake of staying on West Bay beach in Roatan and that shit about ruined it for me. I can't stand being badgered every five minutes by someone insistently selling a fucking massage or bracelet. I would prefer a laid back quiet section of beach with good reef if that is available there...

Did you do any snorkeling/diving on Cozumel? The GF wants to go stay somewhere fairly cheap early next year but decent shore snorkeling and (boat) diving is a requirement for me...

I would, but I wasn't very happy with the XR that I purchased from you either... -

Buyer beware - I bought the suit assuming it would still be usable for mini racing at the least, however it showed up with multiple seams split wide open and the leather worn through in spots. Definitely not safe for use until it is repaired. He did offer to help out with the repair cost but now is not responding to PMs. -
You made a good call... it ended up raining until 10am. Had a good track walk while we waited but they didn't even start the sessions until 12. It was just starting to dry up a bit by 2:30 but then started sprinkling again so I packed it up and left.

I've gotten bored with riding on the street... I just commute the 5 miles to work on occasion now. Actually thinking about just selling the street bike and upgrading the track bike. Not much fun riding around here and if it's not fun, what's the point in taking the risk? Track days and racing have ruined street riding for me...
-
It's clearing up a bit. The morning sessions will probably be crap but I'm betting the afternoon will be decent. Good enough to call off work for a free day!

Signed up for the 9th!
-
Weather for Sunday and Monday is looking niiiice, might even go ahead and sign up today. OMRL race on Sunday, Mid-Ohio on Monday; going to be a good weekend!

My opinion would be to buy an already built track only R6 as well. Check out the WERA forum; there are always tons of really nice R6's and other bikes already built for $3-5k. Almost impossible to build one for that price. http://forums.13x.com/index.php?forums/bikes-for-sale.48/ Shoot, look at this one: $4500 for an 2008 with everything you could want! I'm temped to go buy it myself... http://forums.13x.com/index.php?threads/2008-yamaha-r6-race-bike.346075/

This one would be free! Not much of a debate there!
-
I followed Andy and Jacob on the 4th to get some footage of their riding and finally got it uploaded last night
-
Yep, just have to have 4 days in before the 9th.
-
I'll be in as long as it's not raining the entire day.
-
Well, that probably explains why it wasn't available then!
-
I signed up today. Tried to get garage 13 or 15 but all the pull throughs are full.
-
Did you guys get a garage number yet?
-
I'm probably going to wait until Thursday/Friday before signing up, but I'll take a garage slot if there ends up being one available. Weather has been looking good for Monday all week so I'm hoping it holds up!
-
Pretty sure you just have to take mirrors off for intermediate. Anything plastic just needs taped up.
