lowcel Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Another awesome day on the track with new and not so new friends. It's always nice meeting good people. My morning was rough due to a broken shifter bolt. Luckily for me Mark (Vesrah) helped me out and I was able to do a little "engineering" and got the bike running after wasting the morning sessions fixing it. I then gave up the first afternoon session to have new springs installed in the forks. Apparently riding springs for a 130 pound guy is t the best idea when you weigh 100 pounds more than that. Who knew!The last three sessions were awesome and I had a lot of fun trading positions with some other riders. A huge bonus is that I managed to get two new personal best laps!Here is my new PR. I have been looking for a 1:45 for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester_ Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Congrats on the new best. I was taking it easy in the morning, new bike on tires I had never been on before. But in the afternoon I got more comfortable and ran a new PB of 1:44.0, I think I know where I could improve, but also couldnt find a tow all day. Will probably go to advanced next time around to try to learn more, but for a shake down on a new bike with a less than stellar rear tire I was more than happy with the results.

I'm strongly considering bumping up to Advanced as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4iguy Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Great time trying to chase all you guys. Also hit a PB of 1:51:45 in the last session - tired and messy lines, but fun. Hopefully I can build on that when I have fresh legs. I'll stick with I for a while, until I can beat Chuck. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Chuck likes to cuddle when he passes lol. Damn he gets close but it's a comfortable close, I wouldn't trust a lot of others to get as close as he does. I coulda moved my foot and shifted gears for him on one of em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue03636 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 For a real good time with him, just pass him on the straights then completely park it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Clay Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Midget, you had a yellow vest protecting your ass all day, so how do you know what close passes are?????.......lol F4iguy, I'll be waiting on you.......when you get tried of me around you in the corners you'll pick the corner speed up just like Lowcel and Trackbikez got tried of me going around them in the top of the key hole.........It sucks to get passed by a dirt bike!!!!! LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 You made a few close ones, all good though, you're good at it and smooth. If I have to get passed by a dirt bike it might as well be that screaming ass CR500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowcel Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Chuck likes to cuddle when he passes lol. Damn he gets close but it's a comfortable close, I wouldn't trust a lot of others to get as close as he does. I coulda moved my foot and shifted gears for him on one of em I thought about reaching over and hitting his kill switch once. He never worried me in the least, that man can flat out ride!

Limitedslip7 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I ended up going to a job interview instead of the track day... wish I would have went to the track day instead as it did not go well. Fingers crossed for Oct 7th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackbikez Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Back in "I" for Oct 7th... has anyone been to the appreciation days before? In the riders meeting, Brian made a point that it shouldn't be missed - I was planning on coming down even if it rained, just wouldn't ride.

Moto-Brian Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 In reference to the not missing it part, I was saying that if you had three or more days, you qualify and they will have a bunch of prizes. The event is ran like any other track day, but the idea is that it is a bit more loose and fun. Prizes and such... You'll have a fun time and anyone that has maybe two events, sign up for the October 6th event and YOU ARE IN for the next day!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4iguy Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 How do you sign up for Oct. 7th? I couldn't find it on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
