well shit, when i was up there before he said he ordered an S. he went to barber and rode the R for the dealer/press release, but the price was too much for him. hopefully he got the R though, since he was saying he wanted to put me on it for a few races...
I think i'm gonna start a new service, team up with a suspension guy and dial in customers bikes. just show up at the track and flog everyone's bikes and set 'em up. sounds like a great idea
lol, i was a huge vag:fruit: never even touched one knee down. I did tear it up on Tracey's bike though. that thing is a blast. i just can't wait to get that rocket of a gsxr at mid-ohio. i'm sure you'll have a good view of my ass, brian:beating: ps. i likes the bikes with the wheelies, yum:D
yesterday was fun, weather was great. i got to take out a brand new 08 zx6r... real nice bike! see ya'll up there today i'm the weirdo with bright red puma boots....lol
aight, who's all gonna be there this weekend. it's a 2-8pm format both days with karts in the mornings. i'll be there sampling some of the other guys bikes, since mine still isnt' fixed...
yea, that's why i'd run to the literbike class, no way i'd qualify for daytona superbike... i gotta admit the 600 stuff is gonna make for WAY closer racing. the 1000's have too much to allow for riders to run away. it is really different for the 600's to be the premier stuff, but it will be SUPER competitive.
yea there's some fast gp bikes around there. not a hp track at all which helps them. I should be under the 1.00.00 mark this year. ran a ton of 1.01s last year with a blown clutch on the stock motor. nothin like grabbin gears and then boggin... thought i was just spinnin it up. really fun track for sure.
when you get a loan, the bank puts a lien on the title. basically making it theirs until the contract of the loan is finished. he can sell you the bike and give you the title, but until he pays the loan off the lien is on it.
i've done it a few times goin into T1 at mid-o, if i really get comfy and havin fun slidin the rear into a corner i'll tip it in a lil and kick the foot out, i think it's kind of a balance thing
this wont take effect until 2009.... i'm really amped for this though. we'll finally see ALL of the top level guys together in one class, where the bikes will be very close in performance. it will be a 20 rider freight train for 25 laps! i guess this means i'm gonna have to hop on a 1k next year...lol.
i love beaver! you should come out memorial day weekend with sportbiketracktime. That track is a blast and yes the left hander at the bottom of the hill is bumpy. just gotta grab a short shift,pin it, and tip it in. Also you can go through the second kink totally wide open, great place to make up time. just gotta get 'er upright and real hard on the brakes for the carousel.
Still got this bad boy! puttin it up on the block, will have fresh front end rebuild for the new owner as well. comes with: Tag upper triple clamps Tag X5? fat bars Works Connection Pro Perch Big Gun EVO R Ti pipe Works Connection frame guards Racetech revalved/built forks/shock powdercoated rims/hubs This thing is quick! I used it for cross training for roadracing and as a pit bike at the track. I only raced it twice it the last 2+ years i've owned it. This thing is my baby!! lookin to get $2600 for it, need to open up some room for this race season
usually you do the 1 pit stop every hour thing. but it depends on your fuel consumption and how well of shape you are in. 3 hours i'd just stick to one set of tires and do 1 stop every hour.
yea wera has endurances races, but only at the national events. fastraxx has their endurance stuff every race weekend. i think me and brian, maybe another trickster will do a couple fastraxx (however it's spelled!) endurances this year, see if we can't wax some people....hehehe
hell yea!! good job on the licenses guys. oh and WERA offers a race school at some events on saturdays. costs 60 bux and you can race the next day. that's how i did mine.
that was right before i ducked under her ass as she sailed through the air in a nasty highside in T1......she hit the damn yellow curb.....shouldn't have been out there.
