I think the grid will be great. I seen there is going to be a decent amount of 1000cc bikes out this year as well.

What sucks is I upgrade my bike and it seems everyone else is too. I will probably have the least amount of HP again.

No worries...see my sig. Did you pay for your license yet? Wondering if you get the same talk I did.

Damn nice numbers. See you on the Expert grid:D

Saturday - Track day

Sunday - 600 sprints and 750GT

Thinking of starting a thread on the MotoSeries forum just so Todd will stay on this. I know I hate finding out stuff the last minute

He is suppose to be calling the rest. He should probably do it soon so they can get plates sorted.

Definitely...I got called a month ago. I just put the white plates on earlier in the week.

There are more.

Todd did say something to me about possibly others, but the ones that I listed are definitely bumped.

I feel like we already had this conversation, possibly even earlier in this same thread?

Exactly...Me, Bill Moore, Ryan Neu, and Andrew. I think Bob is as well.

I hope half of you guys get bumped.

I see the dunlops for 344 at race tire service ( slick or dot) i cant find the Pirellis fo under 390

Todd will do that price at the track and mount free of charge. Support the trackside vendors.

I am 5'6", but 165 lbs muscular build. I wear 30x30 jeans. I have a Taichi suit. The Japanese sizing seems to work best for me. I am a Medium Wide or Medium 2Wide in the Japanese sizing. I would say that with your weight you would be a Medium Slim or a Small.

That movement from the Pirelli's (especially from the front under hard braking) did take a second to get used to.

Did you have to make any major ride height adjustments with the Dunlop's, Taft? And how much is a set of these normally?

Edit: I got pretty good wear from the Pirelli's, definitely waaaaay better than the Michelin's.

On my 09 zx6, I have the forks flush with the top triple. The rear I have at stock height right now because 35motorsports told me to try that first since the 09 gets more chatter if you put too much weight bias towards the front.

Bill came from Dunlops and tried Pirellis and just wasn't really expecting the wear difference. He also didn't change any set up on the bike from when he ran the Dunlops. He just adjusted the Pirellis psi to the recommended setting.

^Doesn't matter.

The Pirelli's are better than the Michelin's anyway, IMO. I'm just worried about the 190 rear with the Dunlop, I don't know why really. (They only come in 190, correct?)

The Dunlop 190 is made for a 600cc 5.5" rim.

Pirellis like to move a bunch under the bike which is something that makes me a little uneasy. Bill also noticed that the wear is not as good as the 'lops.

Guys and gals, the live stream production and commentary on AMA's live stream is really quite good - http://www.amaprolive.com/rr/

Give it a watch!

SBK Q2 on now, DSB Q2 starts at 1:10pm EST

Yep...been watching all morning here at work. This and trying to keep up with the IU game my productivity has dropped to zero.

Kinda I am sure well see ya there

So are you doing the 9th/10th or 10th/11th? Look for a 09 zx6r green/black and a neon GSXR. We will be riding the 9th/10th. Our first time there so we signed up for Intermediate.

In 5 days we get to do this the whole way to FL while Brandon drives, we can feetsting, sleep, eat, crap, feetsting, sleep, eat, crap, feetsting. Winning.

You heading down for this weekend? A group of us from Indiana are going as well.

I used my MotoSeries license at the first WERA round at Grattan. They didn't question it. Also a one time event license is $30-$35 well it was that much last year.

andrew i think you will be fine. i feel like you are one of those guys that will become a better rider racing with faster guys. i did have a missed call from todd so not sure if i will be yellow or white this year.. if im still yellow i will make sure you pussys will never win a race. if im white i quit..

Don't be a quitter Bob. Just tag along with Bill and I and you will be running PRs again.

My buddy(Bill on neon GSXR), Ryan Neu, Andrew Amerio, and myself. He said there may be 1-2 more.

Looks like I won't be racing with you guys in the novice class. No more sandbagger talk. Todd called and bumped me to expert. He named 3 other as well and was thinking of possibly 1-2 more.

a good way to tell if a chain is worn is if you can lift it off the sprocket at the back side.

+1 on this test. If the chain pulls more than half a sprocket tooth away then the chain needs replaced. I usually replace a chain once a year if it needs it or not.

The gapping seams and car induced ripples and dips in the turns. Nelson has the same things, but to say Gingerman is better than Nelson is like saying you'd rather lose your leg rather than your arm. Both are shit and both suck, but are they really that much better?

Most people that say they like one crappy track over another are those that either haven't ridden both enough to know the differences or have ridden one more than another to really understand what the results can be.

I was an advocate against Nelson for the longest time. But, at a regional and track day level? It is a fine track and can be fast and rewarding. The guys that get all spoiled over tracks like Mid-O, Barber, etc and just avoid Nelson after one visit or from what people say about it are not really worthy to be talking shit about it...

I was worried about Nelson before I even showed up. Once I got there and actually rode the track it wasn't so intimidating after 3 or so sessions. Same with G-man, after 3 tank slappers in the first 2 sessions, I adjusted my riding and thought the place was pretty fun.

G-man sucks until you get the hang of how to go over the seams. Nelson is bumpy but I like it. I would love to see a race at G-man since it would have me 2+ hours of driving compared to going to Nelson.

Consistent 13s will get you on the podium.

Fastest lap I saw at nelson was a 11.1 during the 750gt. I think I could have had 10s if my season didn't end at the halfway mark

Looks like Todd is updating the MotoSeries homepage.
