I've been up for 2 hours.  Waiting till it's time to pack up and head in for tech.  Need this, been way too long.

I heard Mid-Ohio has some kind of Black Friday special where you can get a good deal on track time. Can anyone give me info on that? I couldn’t find anything on their website. 

I think it's Cyber Monday.  Has been the last couple years.  I live pretty close to Mid O and went several times last year, real easy for me to take a vacation day and go ride a motorcycle as fast as I can.  I'll be doing a few N2 days and some with STT next season.  Well actually, I'll be down in Alabama on Friday to do a day with STT on Saturday.  That's going to be great!

Jacob,   If you have a ADV bike by the we could do a day of dirty stuff down there. Here is just some of the ADV routes just south of the Dragon. Can someone please buy Jacobs Ducati soon.

Gotta get the Triumph back first.  Then I'm all about the Japanese tech.

I heard the wheels do fit, they just come with the wrong bearings.

Oooo, I'll have to check that out then...

Bummer they don't work on the new ones...

I would love to make this.

hopefully they can get the bearings in early next week and get it to you by the end of the week... 3 weeks until we leave for 'Bama. 

As nicely as I could I told them I have an event before the end of the month and I'd like to take the bike.  Have to do break in after I get it back still.  That's probably a week down alone.  I'm beginning to lose hope the Daytona will make the trip.

How in the world? I’m sure I could go online right now and order the correct bearings. Maybe you should ask them if they would like you to order the parts for them. 

Haha!  I about said that!  I wanted to reach through the phone and smack someone, but then I tell myself they probably want it out *almost* as bad as I do and everyone makes mistakes.  Just keep breathing...  Izzy is looking better and better every moment.  Need to order a new helmet anyway, might get some real good brake pads while I'm at it.

Jesus Christ.  They ordered the wrong fucking bearings.  And we wait.

Got the old girl a lift.  My back will appreciate this also.

And seasonal depression starts in 3.......2.......

Hey I'm pumped for little tally right after Thanksgiving.  Thennnnnn the depression starts!  Still need to get the Daytona back though. 

Price on an Rf1200, medium, yellow, please.  Let's see if you can tempt me with an X14, dont care about color, probably out of my budget, but worth a shot.

Thanks!

Well if Justin has to ever run from the popo, at least he has a quiet exhaust to slip away undetected.

I am off work, we can be there in no time and you can drive it home today. Better yet, just ride bitch to Cbus and we keep going. We could pick it up Thursday morning and still meet Joe on time.

All good ideas.  Mostly the part about Pauly riding bitch for 3 hours.  If you guys get a serious plan together, let me know asap and I'll try to get the tires swapped back.  Or if you drive, I'll throw the RoadSmarts in the car and you can play with them.  Drop her back off on your way home, ride bitch with Jim back home and it's a great weekend!

You and me, both. 

Fuck that liquid cooled piece of shit. 

Izzy's already prepped for winter.  And is track legal and can go back to 100% street in 30 minutes.  Clearly the perfect bike.  Buy her back if ya want.  I'll be headed for adventure time with my man @B-Mac soon.

The flat rack that replaces the rear seat is a $$$Hepco-Becker$$$ pice that works great with soft tail bag or dry bag. 

That flat rack is also decent as a pillion seat in a pinch.

It's on the bench!

I'll have these printed out and taped inside my seat.

Well... it is a very steady leak. I drained the tank and will give the shop a call tomorrow. If they can turn it around quick enough I may be ok. If not, I am without a bike. 

Take Izzy.  I cant ride anyway. 

Shit, maybe not a great idea, it's got scary tires for the street.  If you have a spare set of tires and wanted to swap them...  I still have that set of RoadSmart IIs in the garage, kinda beat up, but still life left for the street.

I hate you all.
