^smartest move I ever made.

A lot of people saw this - just as they were getting ready to pass me!  Tough track to learn, but fun weekend!

Glad I'm not the only one that has crap to do. I still have bodywork to fix from last year,

 

Duck tape!  Comes in multiple colors!

So I had some issues with my bike at the tuner and had to leave it there. He's done with it now though. Going back most likely this Saturday, if not next. Do you still need to pick it up? I'll be going by there again. 

I will be calling on it today.  I'll let you know.  Thanks!

Nice get together.  Thanks Derek and John.  Good to see everyone.  Hopefully I'll get out for a group ride this year.  Need to shake the cobwebs off the 'wing.

Hopefully my bike gets here soon.  Having some work done and getting nervous about having it in time.

Wow, this track thing is involved. Very very cool. Maybe I should do this too.

It's a great way to spend your mid-life crisis.

Just got my new tires thanks to Mike at @RidersDiscount!  Signed up for both days!  Ready to get it on!

In.

Since Dan brought up tire loading, I have a few observations, comments and questions.  One comment is that upon leaning and as you lean more, you scrub off speed.  This is part of the physics of our amazing sport that makes it so interesting.  In the case of using the turn to scrub speed, I have noticed on some turns I barely need to brake - such as Turn 1 and 2 at Mid O, and various "kinks" at various tracks.  In these cases, your front suspension is not fully loaded, so my question is how does that affect the traction during the turn?  I low-sided in a fast turn and probably had not warmed my tires enough, but also didn't use much if any braking going into the turn.

You get that r6 yet?

It is not in my possession yet.  Still about 2 weeks out.

I told them what I was wearing under it when I ordered.

Including the fact that you were going commando?  Chafing........

Well I happened to run home at the right time. The chest is a tad snug with the back and chest protector in.

It should feel better when you are in a tuck position.  I would also contact them to see if it is ok to wear a chest protector.  It might affect the function of the air bag.

Suit finally shipped and should be here tomorrow. Fitment testing when I get home.

What color scheme did you get? Or, alternatively, you could show us a sexy picture of you sporting the new suit.

There is a ride that weekend but it may be Saturday. Then to decide if I want to ride a motorcycle the day after 100 miles on a bicycle.

Buck up sweetie, you can do it.

Ohhhhhhh man. Details man, details. Pictures are even better.

Waiting to schedule a pick up with the seller. Once I have in my possession, pics will follow.

In, depending on date.

64 more days!

I have a list of stuff that needs done before we leave, wrenching on stuff to get ready for the season seems to help pass the time. 

My list:  pick up my R6.

That is all.

Planning to be at Road Atlanta that date.  I'm sure Tim will weigh in on that too.

I never saw them when I was there last year. No signs saying where I should look for shots or anything.

It was Kyle Hunter, but I can't find his website anymore.

I am taking 3 bikes as of now but have room for more. Just sucks I'm out of the way for all the Cleveland guys. 

 

I can maybe haul John's bike if you can take him down there? I can run up and get it a week early or something and store it. 

Been talking to Brandon about hauling arrangements.  We'll figure something out as it gets closer.

New suit ordered. Is it time to use it yet.

D-air?

I just usually drive home the night after because I want to save the $ from a hotel. And the track normally won't let you stay the night afterwards I don't think. 

Yeah, I was wondering if the track would let us stay that Sunday night. I'm planning to head down Friday, run both days, and then come back Monday.   Hoping that among us Cleveland area peeps we can get some rideshare going.
