RVTPilot

While I haven't nearly the experience on a track that you do e-, I remember being both passed and passing. Usually, if I get that out of the way early in the day, I am better later. And I understand what you're saying about having an inexperienced rider possibly ruin your day, but that's why the instructors are there, to help prevent that kind of thing. My two track days were with two completely different schools on vastly different tracks (Team Hammer Advanced @ Daytona and STT @ Mid Ohio) and there was a wide mix of riders in wach group at each school. Both schools, IMHO, did well to ensure that things were done safely and properly on the track. I agree about not wanting to be the guy who takes out a more experienced rider, but the more 'experienced' guys should also be smart enough to know how to avoid things like that as well. As long as you keep making better laps, getting better towards the end of the day, you're doing all you can. Something an instructor told me last year...ride confidently, not overconfidently. Even the go fast guys make mistakes.

Why don't we meet then at the mall around 7 or so. I'll PM you my cell and we'll hook up and take a long way about getting to QSL.

Good info Chris! Sounds like you have run there a few times. Last year was my first, and the spot sealer spot coming out of the carousel onto the start/finish straight was slick enough fo rme to come through there flat track style. And the rise over T8 (I think it's 8) was slick while wet. Dry, it was like a completely different track all together. I will be honest, I have no times for my laps from my visit last year. Probably because it's hard to use a sundial when it's overcast.

Here's hoping we have good weather that week. Mid Ohio in the rain...the patches are like ice. But dry it was a blast!

Inya, I'm in N. Ridgetucky off of 83 north of Ctr Ridge. 10 minuts form The Lube. r1 will beon the other side of the Lube from us, but I am all for riding around if for no other reason thatn to ride around. If you want, I can skip thru some back roads and meet you at The Prominade in Westlake if you're coming by there, and then we can go find Kev.

I don't get away from the office until 6, and need to swing by the hizzle, so I will be rolling that way around 7. If we wanna hook up somewhere before hand and roll in like a posse, then someone pick a centrally located spot.

I am gonna swing back to the house before I go there becuase the new lever is supposed to be there. Gonna slap that on and head up. Am I coming to pick you up or will you laready be there?

So who's in for a ride up there tonight? Finally back on the bike and have it all together, so I am headed up. I am gussing r1crusher will be there since he was all about hacking off my cast last weekend. Anyone else?

Umm...uh..someone I beat up one time said that's a place he used to visit. Yeah, that's it. Really, I only know of it because r1crusher has one of their downloads as the desktop wallpaper on his laptop. And a 12 year old philipino boy in a cage in his garage for those "bad days".

I see correspondence from philipinoladyboys.net coming his way.

Not to jack up Inya's thread, but the dessert cart in the suites is incredible! Cheesecake that will make you cry. I may be in for a ride Saturday. I am on-call this weekend, but may be swapping out to cover for a friend next week. Plus, my cast comes off today (f*cking schweet!) and the bike is ready. Will know more closer to Friday.

:lol:Awesome! I just spit Mountain Dew on my laptop.

Welcome dirty one! I too have been offroad. It wasn't planned, it was on a Gixxr 750, and it could have been worse. But I did get dirty!

Chicks dig scars! Especially ones that change your tattoos!

Welcome! Nice set of rides there chickie!

Not much in the way of haters in my experience. I, however, will be gleefully at home rifling through a dozen boxes delivered from Ron Ayers today!!!! These to accompany the new pipes and stuff already in. You guys have fun tonight!

Truly sad. Please convey my thoughts and prayers to friends and family, Satan.

Happy birfday, fellow twin jockey!

Welcome dude!

Glad to hear you had a lid on, and that you aren't hurt worse. Will keep you and the bike in my thought as I heal from my get off. My helmet paid for itself 10 times over, and yours did much more. Heal up soon!

Hmmmm. Good tip Benyen. Thanks for the info!

THAT is just straight up sexy, Todd! It looks like the perfect combination of fun and trouble, with just the right amount of each.

HA! Yeah. Probably...to Tiny Arm.

A question for the masses. Call me stupid, but I was thinking about changing my screen name. Since my accident, I have been in a bright red cast on my right hand. So my 7 year old thinks I look like Hellboy. The Mrs. amd I were chatting about it, and she thinks that's a better screen name than RVTPilot. I told her you don't normally change that kind of thing, but even I think it's not a bad idea. But I know that usuallr requires re-registering and all of that. So what does the group feel about this. If it's cool, I might. If not, so be it. Your $.02.....

Ahh, the murky end of the gene pool has reared it's ugly head. Thanks for the link, JRMM. What a bunch of phucksticks. I'm too old to deal with that shit anymore. Plus the fact my hand is in this cast for another month, I'm not sure I wanna be around the 10%ers who are leaking common sense. Oh, and kawi kid...Pedrosa called. He wants his body back.
