vw151

That is exactly where I went off back in April. Except I stood the bike up, rode down the hill in the grass, then jumped off before hitting the wall and broke my collar bone. Glad you are alright. The track is fun, and the risk is part of the fun. Get that bike back together and get back on the horse and don't go wide in that turn next time.

What face? I hadn't seen it. Is it in the pictures?

whatever.... new page. new picture

They are epic!!!!!

I saw this on a random thread on the WERA board. http://www.totalprosports.com/blog/index.php/2009/04/simona-halep-is-a-busty-17-year-old-tennis-star/

my dad has a relatively new 4cyl 4wd tacoma. Very nice truck. I joke with him though cause my GTI pulls that 2 bike trailer way better. but it has 200hp and 200ft-lbs of tq. I'd buy a truck but I can't have everything I want.

In reality, I've actually considered getting a 2WD 4cyl japanese truck for this purpose. The non 4wd sit lower, get a short cab, long bed and it's an easy to load, fuel efficient way to transport your bike. I'm thinking like an isuzu or something...... but I have my GTI and a trailer and that works fine.

forget a truck..... GTI FTMFW I get 17-18mpg pulling 2 bikes at 80mph!!!!

Mike, I'd put this up in the STT forum and wera board as well.

haha, that is awesome. pic looks pretty believable to me. Rider is blurred some and honestly, it doesn't take that much shutter speed to stop a race car. 1/1000 would usually make it crisp. I'd guess this was s hot at 1/250 or 1/500. everything is crisp except the rider. Besides, if it was photo chopped I think the photo shopper would be tempted to exaggerate the blur a little more. that's just my 2 cents. For instance. In this picture of Kimi that I shot at the 2007 F1 race at Indy I bet he was doing 100-120mph in this corner. I realize that is not 200mph but I was able to stop the car with no issue and I think I was shooting around 1/1000. It stopped the car no problem, but it would take more shutter to stop the spinning wheels. Personally I like to keep the motion blur in the wheels but I'll usually shoot with some variety here. I guess it has a lot to do with other factors too though, like if the moving subject is going across the frame or away from you, the length of your lens and blah blah blah, point is a vehicle going 200mph is not that hard to stop with shutter speed especially compared to other notoriously fast moving things like the wings of a humming bird which might actually require 1/5000th of a second to stop or more.

Is the top coat down already?

Sold!!!! I know you are jealous flounder. Send me a pm with an offer on the flip flops and I'll see if I want to part with them.

Nice, I remember seeing that bike. It was hard to miss. You guys got a sweet CarrMoto suspension set up on that thing?

I think you can count Macy and I in.

104hp 68ft-lbs Is this a stock 996? I know different dynos yield different results but here is my s2r1000 dyno sheet for an air cooled 2 valve 992cc ducati engine. Seems like a 996 should make substantially more.

Wheel is straight, includes rotors and bearings and is white in color. $180 shipped or $160 picked up. Please email joseph.hansen@gmail.com for interest.

Sold!!!!

I went through all of these details as well. I found a few useful things out Mid-OH says you are responsible for the whole bike. If you talk to the people at KTM they say maximum of 1500 euros. Also, if you are with progressive or State farm you are covered but not with Geico. Having said that, I have an advanced day on may 28th for sale. See my other thread. http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=26724

http://www.sttforum.com/sttforum/viewtopic.php?p=33548#33548 I just posted it here, there and at desmohio. I'd be surprised if it's not sold by the end of the day.

Probably not, but your money is as green as everyone elses to me. I know one other guy selling an advanced day as well so if this sells as quickly as I think it will then I'll see if he has one too.

I signed up for this day on May 28th. Unfortunately 2 weeks ago I broke my collar bone. I may or may not be ok by May 28th to ride but I have decided to sell my day anyway. This day is sold out and so is the other race orange day on July 15th. The details are, it's a track day, KTM superduke 990 is provided. You buy the track day, show up and ride their bike. Gas, tires and bike are provided. In my opinion this is one of the best track day deals I've ever seen. No hassle with trailering your bike, or no need for a bike if you don't have one this year. Just show up and ride and the track day price is still the same as a normal Mid-OH day. Here is an article about it http://www.racerxonline.com/article/ktm-race-orange-ride-and-arrive-track-days.aspx I'm selling it for $195. This is face value. I am signed up in the advanced rider level. please email me at joseph.hansen@gmail.com if you are interested. This price is firm. I accept paypal.

Yah, from what I saw that he shot of me and my friends I thought it was pretty good stuff. Beyond that he wasn't a tool like the guy at Barber.

Got this pic from the track photographer. I like it. Before I wrecked, the left hander at the end of thunder valley right before the carousel I believe.

New desmohio member with a 1098s just went down on 555 last week too. Something tells me that road is not read yet. It was clean last year, sounds like, not so much this year. Glad you are alright though. Crashing sucks.

One of the many reason's Barber is just cool. My buddies and I are discussing going again in the early fall in hopes of making a dry track day there.
