blue03636 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 So,who wants to be the guy that takes my bike out and tell me what they think ?This won't really do a lot for you though. It all comes down to how you ride it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Damn you, Craig. I was wanting to get a free ride one session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is having an issue and wants a second opinion it can be helpful but to have someone else set up suspension it wont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Copeland Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I just want an opinion on how it feels.So I'm ok with one of you guys trying it out.I offered it to Ron and Brandon too.I'll offer it to Ryan too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I think Jeff just wants to see it go around the track.....quickly.I'd do it, but somehow at the end of the ride it would come out dirty like all my bikes Plus I couldn't tell you what a "good" setup feels like.....hell I haven't even figured out my own yet.

blue03636 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 That's cool. I just wanted to make sure you weren't trying to get someone to set it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantahertzdonut Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 We had a great time Saturday, brought a newbie along and got him going alright. Nice meeting a few of you in person, sorry I missed Kevin and Steve.So it sounds like they got the track patched? I guess we can start taking bets on where the next pothole will open up.See you all at the end of the month. I'll be celebrating my layoff at the track.

blue03636 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I guess we can start taking bets on where the next pothole will open up.I will bet 13 but I have an unfair advantage as I had a radio yesterday so I could hear the corner workers.

TRMN8TR Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I will bet 13 but I have an unfair advantage as I had a radio yesterday so I could hear the corner workers.Someone should tell them it's a good idea to patch the potholes before they get deep enough to put cones in them. Seriously, I'm usually the one who defends Nelson and says "It's not that bad just ride over the bumps. The faster you go the better it is." and things along that line. But sinkholes in the track so bad that cones had to be put out is pretty sketchy to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'd imagine the freeze loosened up bits of patchwork and we are just kicking them out....hopefully if they actively patch the holes that appear and help clear debris it will clear up in a month or so. Maybe I'm just too optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Copeland Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I noticed chunks of the patching laying on the track coming out of the carousel after the second session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I noticed chunks of the patching laying on the track coming out of the carousel after the second session.Ditto I was talking about it after 2nd session out and was like uh this isn't bueno. Anyways, it was a great time, races were awesome. The mini 20 had that R1 and me battling it out every lap, granted it was for like mid pack to back but still awesome. He ran out of gas, or I think it would have come down to the last turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I noticed chunks of the patching coming out of the carousel being kicked up by the bike right in front of me and coming at me like shrapnel. That was during the second session so probably the stuff you saw laying there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda why I've been encouraging the newer guys to just sign up for the 600 sprints. By far the largest grid and best chances you'll find someone at your speed to battle.

I think it was Ryan !It chipped the shit outta my paint and my new shield looks like it's 4 years old !But it's a fun track but needs a lot if work to make it safer!

Actually when Ron and I went out the day before and were dicing it up, that was fun too, then he went boom. But it was the only time I've really battled for a "position" if you will, and it made it so much more worth it. Heck, maybe it was for dead last, but guess what, it made it worth it in the end.I think the 600 I was battling with that kid who wiped in 3 trying to pass me, but I didn't know it becasue I wasn't looking back, just forward. Then he tried to pass in the marbles and I knew it was going to end bad. He was fine, bike was fine, and he made the next 600 sprint, wish I had signed up for it now. Next time for sure, more sprints, probably no more mini 20 as I get home way too late to try to work today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 My weekend was a cluster fuck. Had issues again at the start of Saturday and a fire on the bike. Yes, fire... Wasn't bad and with the help of Hancock, we got it fixed and got to run 2-1/2 sessions Saturday. WAAAAAAAY off pace. Close to what I was getting with the struggling and lower powered RC8. The 1199 is a rocket, but the rider was the issue both days in terms of pace.Sunday was better, but with only about 40 minutes with the bike on Saturday, I didn't have but maybe 45 minutes with it Sunday in practice and then off to the races.Shit times, out of shape and basically being a pussy didn't help. The first race, I didn't even see the flag, but saw Peters and Neyra take off. I got a terrible launch. Second race, I got up to second into one behind Justin and the third race got me the holeshot from the second row. So, figuring out the launch process with the bike.Just need to sort chassis and brain and we might have a chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
