You're in there aren't you?

That is what makes them nice. Just got back home and am beat and tired. Yesterday was not my best day but today was better, Yesterday I could not get a 1:29 if I sold my soul to the devil. But today I ended up with a 1:23, not my personal best but is better than yesterday.

Thanks to all I met out there this weekend. Very nice group of folks and damn good riding by all.

Yeah Going from Control rider and then trying to step it up in advance I was only able to get down to a 1:20.66 today. Running multiple bikes (TL-S and GSXR 600), both standard and GP shift, I just never got comfortable pushing the 600 in the advanced group even though I only made 3-4 advance appearances all weekend.

Was a good weekend and all the riders did a good job and all the Street group riders made improvemets over the couple days.

Hmm for some reason it wont let me post pics. larger than 48k in size. :cussing I have no other attachments stored on the server either...

04-30-2007, 08:02 PM

you know what's a handy little tool for posting pics? microsoft's image resizer. it lets you resize any picture by right clicking on it and selecting from a few choice's of sizes. large, medium, small, handheld pc, and custom
its really nice not to have to open a pic editing software and go through all those hoops.

Great pics. Sorry I didnt get to introduce myself to everyone out there...I got there late. I want that old TZ soooooo bad. Anyone know what the old 2 stroke single was? It was parked up front but I never saw it on the track. Kudo's to the guy with the CB750 and the other on the old BMW. I will be out there for the next one regardless of what bike I'm on.....lol O yea...How did that dirt taste Drew? LOL

Hey Tuna,

The TZ is a factory GP bike. Yamaha sold them as GP spec for privateers.
Weighs about 230lbs and makes approximately 80rwhp with a fresh motor. Belongs to Mike Boots, the guy that takes care of the numbers at tech. Bill Atkins rides it for him and has been terrorizing AHRMA with it for the past several years.
The old 2 smoke is Bill Moeller's (BoreTech) Ossa that he races with AHRMA. He had it out on Sunday for a few sessions.
The guy on the old BMW R100CS has been coming to our track day for years.
It is his main ride and has over 113,000 miles on it. He just freshened the bottom end.
The other guy that deserves kudos is the guy riding the 851 Ducati. There are more than a few unobtainium parts on it.

Nice photos and videos on this thread.

It looks goofy in that picture but that sidecar was a blast to ride. Did anyone get any shots of it at speed? Especially at turn 4 and Dead Bear. I have never had my head that close to the ground and still be in control.

Mike, Chris, one of the track workers and I got to play the role of the "Monkey" (and yes, that is what they call the person in the side car). We took turns with Kenny and his new Vette at lunch. What a hoot.

I should have worn my Localriders.com t-shirt. I was working the registration table with Kenny on Sunday and was hanging out at tech. I think there might be a side car rig in the near future for Rob :Pest: . Anyway it was a great weekend, weather wise and rider wise. Lots of talent and no knuckle heads that I could tell. I might be bringing the BMW R1200GS in the fall, loaded with bags and camping gear :bootyshak .

Yeah Kenny is damn quick in that vette. On my lap the 2nd strap was low so I was fighting the G force in the corner trying to keep from leaning on Kenny.

I though he was going to have to bring the rear around through Turn 5 as he went in way to early. The weird thing is it doesn't feel like he was braking very hard with it. But the tires wern't squealing but my side was hurting afterwards from the Lateral G Forces
