Yes! Good plan! I just about got the bike prepped and I'm so excited. Mid Ohio Tuesday then PIRC Sunday. Going to be a great week!

Haha I wish, this has been the month from hell but I scheduled these things way in advance so fuck the rest of my responsibilities. I was supposed to race minis Sunday, but I'm working instead... Go out Saturday to PIRC and bring the CBR, you can do a couple sessions in morning for free. Basically no tech is my understanding?

I'll be there the 23rd, assuming the weather looks decent and at this point it should be perfect!

Damn, I'll miss you unless you hang late. Or switch to Sunday

I'll be there Sunday with an old friend from high school who relocated in Pittsburgh. Arriving Saturday night to camp at the track.

So Tim, I'll see ya there?

Tires: Q3s, 190-55 and 120-70. Thanks!

I'm 99.99% there. Have to register tomorrow. A buddy lives that way and just signed up for Sunday. See you guys there!

Damn, I'm going to see a buddy (car) drag race tomorrow. Have fun!

@NinjaDoc. I think at N2 days you can go out for the first session or two without prepping your bike in a pre-novice group. Can regular N2 participants confirm that? Bring the new duc out!

Hmmm, I was planning on going to Mid-Ohio earlier that week. Depending on how that goes, this would be a lot of fun. It would be my first/second time on a big bike track and would certainly use a tow. Jester, are you a control rider for N2?

Hey man, I put in 300 miles after work yesterday!

No worries fellas, I got my fun in and back in time for dinner. Next time I do something mid-week I'll try to post up before I'm walking out the door!

I'm riding the pedal bike home in a few, then hopping on the motorized two wheeled toy and heading south toward Hocking from Columbus. I'll be on the road by 5. Happy to meet folks along the way.

OMRL Novice StockMoto Just raw, I've watched it once...

Bummer, it was a great time. I didn't see ya today, wasn't sure if you made practice or not. Come on out August 20 (practice) and August 21 (race day) if you're able. Really a nice track and there was one true supermoto and several other Honda 150Rs in the grid. I'm uploading a video from the stock XR class now so you guys can see what you missed out on.

I'll be there late Saturday, probably won't practice. I'll be racing Sunday! Didn't you guys get supermotos for this exact thing?! Bring em out and race on Sunday! @turnone @redkow97

Very nice man! Congratulations!

Haha Yep! But getting nervous at 100 miles sucks regardless of how much fun you had getting there!

FJR is a great bike, I miss mine. The new ones look awesome and seem to have the mods from the factory that folks were doing anyway with heated grips and cruise. ABS on my Gen II was kinda rough (large feeling pulses (on engagement when I first used it), but it was predictable with practice. I'm sure the new ones are better. Katie cried when I told her I wasn't getting another one after my accident. The factory top box is about a zillion bucks so I got a Shad with a Givi mounting bracket to the subframe, not mounted to flimsy tail section like the factory ones do. With the top box on, all our gear (pants and jacket each) and helmets in side cases were locked and dry when we got off. I liked it as a commuter bike with fully faring and windshield, riding in a sporting manner, and they are proven Iron Butt capable. The 230+ mile tank is great, something I really hate about my CBR is the crappy distance between gas stops.

I got there at 4:15, watched a group get the ride rules, went in to sign up and they said they were done for the day. Bummer. I wanted to ride the Hyperstrada and they had a 2015 demo in store anyway so Katie and I did our own demo on that! Fun bike.

Cool, that's what I'm heading for.

I'll be there at 4:15. How was the ride at noon? What did you go out on?

Yes.

August 23/24 are more likely to happen, OMRL race on Sunday the 21st and I'd like a day to recover. (sorry to hijack a little there, continue on!)
