tall_tracy

Found a Yamaha TTR-50e - got a decent deal and it only needed minimal work - new battery & cleaned the carb. I have no idea how I used to ride the Honda 50's my dad had a few years ago, my legs are just wayyy too long for those little bikes... lol

Well no, because there are women here too... @Noah Calhoun -- just do your own thing & have fun, that's what's important.

Don't hate him, he's a good kid. It's difficult to get bumped from my list but it happens occasionally... Yes, he asked me how I knew you last time I saw him and told me he had worked for your son.

Thanks, but I don't think that would be "safe"... lol No, Tristan didn't bump you, you are still one of those people. I have someone working on finding me a suit, she measured me and will see what works for my amazonedness. Unlike you I have hips, but I'm not built like a square like most men, so men's suits don't fit exactly right, except in length so we'll see was happens. Luckily the season is winding down, so I have plenty of time to search for this holy grail of suits... lol Thanks Mike. Yes, sizing is my biggest challenge, that's why I have someone local helping me with it.

Yeah but what about the other half of me that the suit doesn't cover????

I've got my people looking for me - it's gonna be a challenge to find a suit for my amazon stature but I have my fingers crossed that they can find something that fits. I really want a one piece but having a long torso combined with being so tall makes it that much more difficult, luckily I have all winter to search...

Hahaha... nah, I'm not really a G S X R kind of girl. Yeah but right now 2K is going towards a suit and hopefully new rearsets... I need to find a track day investor...

I've been searching for used stock one that I could have modified... the aftermarket ones are $1k... I talked to the talked to the owner of the Ducati dealership to find out what options I have - not much really - turns out I guess I should have bought a 1200 instead of the 821... lol

Ooooo... @Tonik DO IT! Wish I had $$ for a track bike...

I had issues with my rearsets at the track but my bike isn't necessarily set up for track days... I'm working on getting my own suit so I can do more track days in the future, as well as looking for a rearset solution bc the passenger pegs are causing some of the issue, but Ducati = super expensive aftermarket rearsets for my Monster.

@Tonik.... Well the car is packed, and my bike is riding to the track with a Panigale R, maybe she'll pick up some pointers on the way... lol I'll post pics on FB and Instagram at some point... I'm kinda done here on OR.

Working from home and neither remote desktop is working properly... I need a vacation.

And moonshine... which then will lead to awkward conversations about showers... lol

I had an R6 which I sold bc it was so uncomfortable... I loved it but after about an hour or so, I wanted to get off of it so badly I couldn't really take it on all day rides. I had a 2006 and had no issues with the bike at all in the 2 years I had it. Now I'm pretty tall and found the leg room cramped as well as pain in my wrists after a short time, but man it was fast and it made me smile just like you did on the test ride. I was sad to see it go, but there's no way I could have taken it out of state like I did with my Monster. Maybe you need to look at other/bigger bikes with upright ergo's? Maybe look for other demo's to see if a super sport is really what you want? Good luck in your search!!

The track day isn't until 9/11, so I have another week to get everything ready to go. I've been loaned a suit and transport so that I don't have to ride to/from the track. Now it's just a matter of waiting until next weekend to get the bike prepared. And I'll definitely have some pics, etc. Hopefully someone will get some pics of me in action too...you know drinking a venti carmel macchiato whilst standing next to my bike...

I'll be there next Monday... Ron already gave me his version of how/what to do. lol It's a Ducati event so I hope there'll be Starbucks in between sessions...

What about those tubes that banks use?? It'd just suck people over to the other side.

Yeah except you'd probably end up getting hurt somehow...

It seemed a little scary to watch her go by at a snail's pace and agreed, they did a good job with everyone especially since it was a max capacity group that day. I thought for sure there might be trouble since the track was full of people.

The first pic looks like he's caught behind the "parade lap" girl...

Yes - stand alone, no trees required... Aw c'mon, I already have to worry about putting out an eye on the pagoda, don't make it worse... lol

Right?!??! Except now I know how to make it taller so that trick won't work anymore...

...high class... I'll be lounging in a hammock under a pagoda...

Is that the creepy Asian price??? What's the tall white girl price???
