well duh, racist asians don't count.

I may have done race school that day if I hadn't done so poorly yesterday. Need more time to heal and more practice to get comfortable pushing it again. Worst case we'll do the endurance at Beaver. I may have others on the trailer that day, so staying to help wayne depends on how soon everyone else.

Seemed to be aprilias getting in my way last time, this time it was me getting in the way! Dude, there is no way you should be down shifting for Turn 1. Just roll off a bit then tip it in. Thats a 100+mph turn easy.

I wouldn't worry about that as much I don't think. Just make up for it by carrying more speed into 6. I'd be worried about gearing it too short for other parts of the track. I'm finding that its a bit too short coming out of the carosel in 2nd, and messing me up on the front straight. I may switch my shift pattern and try shifting sooner while still leaned over in 14 to see if that feels any better and try to pickup 4th before T1. Oh, and good form yesterday. You looked pretty good whilst passing me.

I'm a maybe. Yesterday was a bit rough on my hand/wrist and it really affected my riding. I'm doing Nelsons on the 18th and depending on how that goes I'll try for a late signup for mid o.

My trackbike came -1 in the front. It was PERFECT for beaver run(the whole 2 sessions before I opted to crash). However, I think I may change out the rear for Mid Ohio, just don't like it as well as stock in Thunder valley and coming onto the front straight. I have a couple of rear sprockets, so I have options.

oh, and for those that asked about our guy that crashed in session 1, he has a broken collar bone, but is otherwise ok.

I group was definitely moving today. Seeing as how I was moving pretty slow thanks to not being healed up from my crash at Beaver, I was on the receiving end of quite a few passes that were shakey.

I gotta say, I think you got the better end of the deal. The 07 looks way better than the new 09. The repsol paint scheme is one of my favorites.

you could ride to mid ohio and watch all the fun you're misssing.

A coworker of mine emailed Monte yesterday to inquire about doing pics. So far no answer.

I beg to differ. I do believe that it is IP that is the real expert on man spooning, compared to him, R1crusher is still a novice.

Lets not bastardize my comments please. There is a difference between personal risk and advocating fleeing from law enforcement. Road rash isn't a felony, fleeing is.

hell thats what I assumed when I read it. it was only on the second read that I realized kawi edited it!

While I agree with you that the guy is an idiot, it is a valid risk assessment. The point of risk assessments is ultimately coming up with how much risk are you willing to accept. How you ride and what gear you where ultimately affect risk level, but its an individual choice to accept it or change one of the factors to lower risk. There are far far better reasons to call the guy out for being a dumbass besides a cavalier attitude to risk, like advocating a felony.

Mikey backed out

I'm working on finding backup for you. My wrist still isn't good enough for 2 up riding, so I have my excuse. However, I'm volunteering my streetbike (and carry gun) for my buddy if he's up for the task.

Best thread ever?

Mellow? Come on now Bill, You ride that Bonne faster than most folks here can ride a sportbike.

Maybe they are?

Nope. Most of the ride was in a torrential downpour, I got stuck leading and therefore got stuck listening to half the riders bitching about someone on a literbike that couldn't/wouldn't keep up at a 5-10mph over pretty civilized pace, and a half hour before we set out, I get to find out that a friend of mine was executed in the line of duty that day. But thanks for asking.

way to bring up a ride that, for the most part, I'd rather forget.

Signed up right after I left the doc today!

Doesn't have to be a womens suit, just has to fit reasonably.

Glad to hear you are ok. I , quite literally, feel your pain. Just ordered the parts to fix my track R6, we should have an OR crash repair party since we seem to have people keep falling down at the track.
