RFM Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Grab two other buddies and load the car. Drive to Grattan and split costs 3 ways. Will be as cheap as if you took the trek up to Lexington. Weather is showing sunny all weekend and mid 50s. Bikes LOVE the cooler air and we are having a big cookout to celebrate on Saturday night.Come on up!!Thanks Brian. I photograph weddings, and I'd be on a major shit list if I pulled that one off. I think I could take the bride. Haven't met her dad yet though.So that's two track days I was signed to go on, freed the time, and took it in the kipper.You have a great time. Do a marshmallow toast for Ol' RFM after a safe and enjoyable time Saturday Night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJC1000rr Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Yeah, you can say that again. Made the late decision and took me and RFM up. I tried to find ya a few times but you were out on the track. We had blk 1000rr and red Aprilia and stayed until the end. O well, I look forward to heading to CMP next month and having warmer weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vw151 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hey Gixxie, we took off before I saw you over at the trailer. Glad you guys had fun. I've ran in the rain before but it was 30 degrees warmer. That weather today was miserable. Kinda funny watching everyone come through the carousel straight up and down though.

vw151 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 The only bike that came out of the trailer was the yamahopper. I only have part 2 of the video processed. We were testing out mike's new gopro camera, hopefully at barber next week we'll have some cool track footage.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQXPeYVWMe4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixxie750 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 i wish i did sorta. By the end of the day i felt like i was doing it lol. I loved spinning the rear almost half way down the front strait. Whats at barber next week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFM Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Man, talk about butt-puckering! New soft tyres on with 0 miles. The Aprilia was spinning everywhere. The worst was turn 1 and 3, because I'm usually confident there. Turn 8 had the nice pond, and 11 had wet leaves. My top speed down the back straight was 99mph, and that felt stupid fast, but last time there I was trying to creep over 145 on the same area.

SJC1000rr Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Lol yeah, and I figured out that when I kept spinning up on the front stretch....was on the white finish line. I don't know what paint they used, but when it gets wet....jesus.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFM Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Makes you appreciate those MotoGP riders who went out on slicks at Donnington. Wet track, slicks, and 220+ horsepower. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Why don't they appreciate riders earlier in the season?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 3:32s were looking about where people were at.Wow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flounder Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) Jusst make sure someone helps you out that knows how to do it right. We had a guy have someone "help" him set sag and they had his sag so stiff that I cannot figure out how he didn't crash.35-38mm Front and Rear...Uhmm. yeah.. that guy was me.. and I guess Im just that good that I didnt crash.. hahahaha.. just lucky332 for lap times.. wow.. not even worth going.. glad I didnt make that trip.

gixxie750 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Anyday at a track then at home is a good time. It would suck to drive like 11hrs to a track and have it rain/cold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFM Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Spinning up a rear clicking into fourth on the back straight is all good in my book. Besides, from what I hear, chicks dig guys who can ride in the wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, from what I hear, chicks dig guys who can ride in the wet.I don't need it to be wet to spin up the rear. An if chicks dig guys that ride in the wet, I guarantee I'd bag my share. 3:35 lap times isn't "riding". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Oh, and let me know when you spin the rear in 4th, 5th and 6th... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFM Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Not on Supercorsa's in the wet! 99mph down the back straight was plenty. Chicks dig guys who can keep it up too, and play again another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
