    Agreed. They should spend their lives closeted, hiding their lifestyle for fear it may offend someone who bases their moral code on a book written by slave owners from the bronze age who treated offspring and women like cattle and were constantly at war and didn't know where the sun went at night. 

     

    Makes perfect sense. 

    Just laughed out loud in a quite office! We must drink a beer together. Unless you don't ride or drink.

    Well, if your going to be away from your family on a holiday, that IS the way to do. The rain gods blessed us with over cast sky's and a dry track till about 3:34p. 

    That was THE emptiest track day I've ever done. Being at Mid-Ohio was just cherry! Big thanks to instructor Rick. Sorry about the first session talking to you received. When you wave me by, I'm grabbing some throttle. After the verbal spanking, Rick proved to be very knowledgable and had the most excellent personality to be a coach! 

    Of course track days aren't worth it unless you meet some awesome people. Ohio Riders were well represented, however I'm terrible with names. Very nice catching up with Mark Junge, oh the memories. Such a class act and a ambassador to the sport.   

    Have to say it was a bitter pride pill in the Novice class. When I finally got to Intermediate the big drops of rain started. Two and a half laps in and people started to drop like flies. Seeing THE most expensive bike on the track go down made me think about going out again so I just packed everything up.   

    Good times, those who were scared about the forecast missed out!

    Ran myself ragged to get everything in order.  I'll be there too.  Red 600RR, on an orange trailer, behind a Nissan Frontier.

    You have a pop up? If not half on a garage?

    Heed the warnings in riders meeting on track condition if it rains since you've not rode there before, Mid O is slicker than shit when wet. Few if any will ride. Matt is one of the few coaches that will go out when wet. He'll gladly tow you. I don't go out when wet.

    Thanks, Jacob gave me a heads up. Perhaps they will cancel and give credits for another day if it's that dangerous.

    She weighs 135lbs. I think he mixed drink was placed a little late it the evening. She blew a .109 I believe. Turns out Ohio has a zero tolerance law, you can get a OVI with ANY alcohol in your system. They've got it set up now where OVI is the blanket charge and then the have a sub charge (BAC) that they tack on as well. She got both charges, they dropped one. First time offender with a year of probation and a year license suspension. I live in Wayne county and they bring the hammer down.

    This crap has turned into a business. Only thing I can tell people is to lie. "Sir/Ma'am, have you been drinking"? The only answer is NO! At that point it's the LEO determination to proceed. Never and I mean never incriminate yourself. Of course just my opinion. Flame away. 

    Oh, and house hunting sucks. Anyone have 5 acres, 4+ bed house with basement they want to get rid of? Out buildings a plus. Must be within 30 miles North of Lewis Center.

    Well if everyone stays home and I get a free and open track to 1p, money well spent! 

    Posted in another thread, but I'm in need to borrow a back protector. I'd rather not spend the money on a new one.  Left mine in Texas. PM me

    Oh hell! Does he still ride at least? Doubt he will remember me, but him and Trey would suck the paint off my bike passing! 

    So big favor guys, I left my back protector in Texas. Anyone have a spare I can borrow. I'd rather not give Iron Pony anymore of my money. PM me please.

    I'm still taking a gamble for tomorrow. Hoping it rains early morning or late evening. Played the weather game before, and when the gamble works, some major fee track without much traffic.

    My bad, I am old and confused most of the time. Good time was had by all.

    No worries, I got tired! And might be a bit sore. Slabbing it back to C-Bus was brutal. LEO was definitely out in force. Thought I was going to make a donation today. Luckily he was to busy on his cell phone.

    I thought the RSV Driver was going to split ahead and up the pace for awhile since he kept passing you so I was going to join him rather than listen to the two uncorked pipe's back at the rear but I was mistaken. 

    Confused, never seen you behind me. I always slow down in the straights. We had a group of varying skill levels. Plus I was unsure of the route. Been awhile on these roads.

    Ok, so I have questions........

    first is there a tire vendor at the midohio days now?    I haven't been there since the STT days and can't find that info anywhere.

    Second, how likely is it that there will be room in the July 4 date?   Since I don't know if I still know anybody there, I am guessing I will be starting in "I" and having to get a bump.   Planning to drive up Monday morning and see what happens.

    And I guess since I'm asking questions, anyone know why there aren't any weekends for bikes anymore?

    thanks

    Bill.

    Hey Bill,

    Called yesterday and only ten people had signed up for the "I". Because I hadn't actually rode the track they wouldn't put me in advanced. No worries, with only ten people---should be a blast. 

    I can't speak for tires, however I know they do some "twilight" evening on Sunday. This is a new concept that I haven't heard before.

    Call them up, they were extremely nice to me! 

    You can always drop tires off at Iron Pony, I'll pick them up for you, transport them to  the track if your in a hurry.

    I can agree with that, but I'm not made of money and I can ride the streets for just gas money.  the track would cost me a bit more :)

    Very true, our addiction costs in more ways than just gas unfortunately. It's going to be over two bills for Monday.

     

    BTW, hoping to pit with someone that has a garage. Any forum members going to be there?
