I'm beginning to think Tim's old girlfriend found comfort in the arms of a mini bike racer.

Is Tuesday an option?

I honestly don't know why this is even still a discussion for a street bike.  Cool video, thanks for posting it.

Tim actually race in OMRL yeah right lol.  Will shit brick if he shows up this weekend

Always the final race of the year in October.  Usually an endurance race then too.  Need teammates, @TimTheAzn...  2 hr race, must have at least 2 riders, as many as 4, each rider must race at least 30 minutes.  Good time.

Finally broke in the grom properly.

Going to race it?  OMRL this weekend at G&J and October 6 at Circleville.  Some other groms and Z125s are regulars.  You could race against my clapped out XR in the F3 class... 

So @TMC Customs how was the day?  Did you go?

Da fuq guys, when I had certs to sell all I heard was crickets . Mid Ohio doesn't ask you where the cert came from for god's sake.

I lost track of how many I used this year...  got myself into a pickle last time.  Have one cert now and then the free day left.  Putnam coming up in a couple weeks also.  Up in the air about a gap trip or MidO on my birthday next month.

That was a great day of riding, couldn’t have been more than 30 people there. In novice, I was the only person with my instructor most of the time. My tent is the green one in the background. The guy next to me with the Suzuki wrecked pretty hard in front of me doing leap frog.  I still haven’t met up with any of you but in novice, I don’t get much time to mingle. 

You plan to be there any time soon again?  I'll be there a few more times this season, come over and say hey!  There must have been two or three other guys between us.

Me me me!

I turn 30 on Oct. 15.  Would be a fun way to celebrate.  Similarly piqued interest.

Still should have someone answer messages and 

Yep, when folks are looking to spend a couple hundred at a crack, it'd be nice.

Sucks about Todd wrecking.

Was it full or was there a reason why no body could get thru on the phone to sign up?

I think Gwen is overworked and couldn't be at the phones as much as normal.

Had another great track day! Anyone hear from Todd? Hopefully he didn't break anything...

Good day overall.  His wrist is broken, assume finger as well, but he didn't confirm that. Also, a "foreign body" inside his shoulder.  Going to let everything heal on it's own, no surgery.

Ok,thanks.

No idea what's up with their phones.

Well my buddy didn't get the requested info.  Maybe when Justin goes tomorrow he can check on Monday's status.

I doubt I'll make Monday anymore, but I think I'm going for a walk-in tomorrow.  How did they run Friday?  I,A,N in 20min sessions as usual, or something different?

Friday was like a regular PTR, IAN, 20 minute sessions, no lunch.  I used a twilight cert and had to pay an extra $10.  Not a late fee, but they charge more for these days.  Have fun!  Hope the track is dry!  We are getting hammered her in Columbus, more water than I've seen at this house before!

Yeah,I tried that the 4 call and got the dudes voice mail.

Might be out for Monday

When I talked to Gwen yesterday it sounded like there was plenty of space.  A buddy will be talking with Mark today anyway, I'll see if he can get a registration update.

Tried calling 4 times to sign up for Monday.

What's up with their phones?

 

@Limitedslip7 suggested pushing 0 to get to the operator.  Worked for me.  I think Gwen is just waaaaay overworked and was away from her regular phone.

Track was great today,  cars didn't muck it all up.  Cant wait to see ya'll Monday!  I rode Mike's S1000RR on MR12 for a few laps.  Have mercy, that thing is fast, amazing brakes, incredible bike.  If I got a full session in and I think I could put in one hell of a best lap.

@what?  What temp are your warmers?

What dealer out of curiosity? 

When I roll out of the dealership on my Daytona I'll let everyone know all about it.  At this point, I know some members here work there and don't need to bring that kind of scrutiny to anything.

It was a great day thanks again for pitting with me, hope to do it again soon. would like to get down to the 52s next outing 

Nice to see ya on here!  52s on a 125 would be amazing.  

I stopped by the dealer yesterday to check on the progress and see if they'd ordered anything yet.  Turns out they have, and nearly everything is in.  Couple big things still on order, a crank and a connecting rod, and some smaller stuff like specific bolts and a bearing or two.  I talked to another friend about this, and he said that Triumph has never had crate motors for anything, ever.  Weird.  Haven't confirmed that independently though.  The service writers showed me the order sheet for the parts, and it's literally as if they went down the BikeBandit assembly for the engine and clicked "add to shopping cart" for everything.  The parts retail north of $8k.  I quickly ran back the mechanic's bay and gave him a thumbs up.  I'm thinking a month.

Haha  sorry!  I'll quit littering this thread, over in the tech section we go!
