fuuuccccck i wish i had cash for tires. Fuck fuck fuck. Ah well hopefully they make it free again next year

Wish I could.

Free? I might just show up


Edit: i contacted them to sign up

That's awesome. I can't take advantage of it from Afghanistan, but maybe next year I'll have to make a trip from Texas to NJ. Much respect to them for doing it, though.

you're more than welcome to crash at my house. ill even lend you a heater so you feel more at home :lol:

wow!

that's a great deal.
wish i could do it.

Buy that XB and break it in at the track.

Dave, you gonna get in on this? Its only an hour away, all you really need is leathers

You guys could borrow my gsxr if need be, I just need to bleed the brakes and shes good to go.

imagine!
that would be awesome, if it happened that way.

I'll be on LI on sunday, and pick it up then...

I also just talked to my bro, hes gonna try and make it too.

want to bad. can't.

We had a Buell blow up at Mid-Ohio last year during a track days. Spilled oil at the end of the back straight and 6 people crashed because of it. :td:

That's damn cheap!!!

Thunderbolt's an awesome track, too!

its looking like only a high of 50 something wed though :(

Tom

BAH! No biggie, I've ridden tracks in sub 40 degree temps.

Just wait three laps for your tires to come up to temp instead of 1 or 2, stay loose on the bars & listen to what your tires are tellin ya.

Unfortunatley theres always the yahoos who dont heed that advice, I had 2 rather cold days last year one at summit and the other at NJMP, what I didn tlike was having to layer up underneath to stay warm sort of hindered my movements a bit. Not the worst thing in the world but was annoying.

Tom

Yup, I hear ya. The cold definitely brings on more crashes.

Shit, two of our VERY experienced track day staff went down at our last NJMP event in October & attributed it mainly to cold tires... but it's not like it poses a significant danger or anything.

They said they'll give you the option to ride... I'd still ride. But I'd ride to the conditions.

Same goes for the rain... crashes are more likely but I'm still out there slip slidin away :)

Riding in adverse conditions improves your skillset.

I prolly would too, I will take the cold over rain any day.

Tom

Aww come on out, you can bring your new buell and break it in.

good call

I dunno... if I can stay dry in the garages & warm on the track, I don't mind getting wet. IMO, riding on the track in the rain is a shit ton of fun as long as you're not cold & wet.

One of my most memorable track day moments this year was a 2 day event in the middle of the summer. It was drizzling on & off for most of the second day & I forgot to bring my rain tires so I was on my Diablo Supercorsas, which are terrible in the rain... but I was instructing the beginner group so it was no big deal circulating through everyone and keeping up with those that wanted some help on the track.

The last couple sessions of the day the traffic started thinning out as people were leaving early, so I went out there, circulated through everyone a bit & knew pretty much everyone out there was riding well & didn't need much on-track instruction, so I started picking up the pace... by the end of the session I was having an absolute BLAST spinning up the rear & pushing the front consistently all over the place.... soooo fun & good practice to boot.

Weather looks cold and rain all day on wed, as much fun as it sounds I dont feel like being miserable

Shitty. Supposed to be AM showers here...so afternoon rain out there makes sense.

Rain here from like 9pm tonight throughout tommorrow, although thats at the track, i have rain by my house until 8am, then it dissapears

Thats odd we just have some tonight but tomorrow looks nice, but I am a good 60 miles or more north of the track.

Probably Ida remnants swinging up. We got a nice front holding that shit at bay near the Mason-Dixon line. Gonna keep up cloudy, but mostly dry.

yeah keep that chit down there, I want to ride to work tomorrow :)

Tom

I'm DRIVING back to White's tomorrow. Wanna meet me there? :lol:

Gotta get that bolt? I will be up in westchester all day anyway.

Tom

No, the one he gave me worked. Gotta get a different bolt, another one fell out on the ride after I fixed the original bolt. :wtf: Damn shaking 45* twin.

This is what i have to look forward to :lol:

Tom

Well, not as much...and you dont have the shift linkage like I do. Mine definately shakes alot more than yours.

Vibes aren't nearly as bad on the 1125. I haven't lost a bolt *yet*

Keep your eye on them shits, they are not to be trusted. :skep:

Dem sneaky bolts :lol:

In the short amount of seat time i have had it def doesnt vibrate anywhere near as bad as marks bike. I ma just hoping the weather holds out so I can get some more riding in on it before winter hits. I would hate to wait till spring for the break in oil change/service.

Tom

You better start taking some time off work to ride. You're running out of time.

I know, I was planning an upstate run yesterday then sun night got asked to cover a shift at one of the jobsites. I am not getting as many shifts as I previously was so i had to jump on this, plus the whole I look good for helping out sort of thing.

I think we will have at least another couple of weeks of decent weather. 10 day forecast looks ok so I can still get out and get a few short jaunts in with the 40/50 degree temps.

Yeah, the next week here looks decent. Above average temps.

Thought you already hit 1K tommy?

I changed mine at 200 / 800 / 6800 / 10300 (when i stored it before I left)

Nope, 200 or so riding it home then close to another 100 on sunday. I think I will be able to get th emiles in even if I sneak out for a few hrs here and there to get in 50-100 miles.

Looking like a prety crappy day down there weatherwise. Cold and rainy at the track :(

I would be under my canopy righ tnow and woul dhave probably started drinking already :lol:

Tom

Too bad.

Looks like its the remenants of that hurricaine. We got a little drizzle up here this morning but its been dry otherwise.

Tom

It may have sprinkled here this morning...if it did it's done now. About to run to the dealer and get my bolt. Maybe go for a ride this afternoon.

I rode to work today so that counts for something, took the priller though since its dirty as hell here and may have to go straight to brooklyn for my ER shift tonight and ghetto trash realy likes red shiny things :td:

Tom

:lol: Don't want that new bike disappearing. I'll see if I can't manage to loose another bolt from the linkage on this ride. So far I'm 2 for 2 on that streak.

Yeh its been raining here since before i woke, it was hard earlier, now its just a nasty mist keeping everything wet

Did you go to the track or bagged the day?

Nehh I talked to Roy over the weekend and left the coversaton telling him if it looks like rain I'm staying home, and since sunday its said rain

thats good so at least its not a wasted day. Worst part is its actualy sunny here today and sunday is looking beautiful and tpm is running thunderbolt that day.

I'll be in texas :rockwoot:

And now I see snowflakes
