I'll see you there, Alberto!  Can't wait to take some laps with you, again.

Is the leg 100%?

Hello all,

I would like to do the May 19th track day. I have a 2 bike trailer but at this time NO tow vehicle.
Is there anyone willing to give me a ride? I live in Damonte Ranch and willing to pay for gas.

Thanks

David

So then the shopping for a new track bike isn't going so well?

65% huh?  By my calculations that still makes you faster than me.

nope. Tax man came and gave me some surprise sex...the payment for my old bike hasn't arrived yet (:() and trying to find a GSXR-750 is pretty damn hard! There doesn't seem to be a lot of used ones out there.

Post by: n10sive on May 14, 2012, 09:08:10 PM
it was his first time on an SV (moved up from 250 class). Took a bit to get suspension setup but said he finally felt comfy on it by sunday.

from him:
4th in Club lightweight
4th in 650 Twins (novice)
3rd in Superdino
DNF Formula 4 because my battery tray fell out on the rear tire.

Let's me guess, the sex was "unlubed" :P

So I'm considering not bringing my trailer and just putting the bike in the back of the truck. Only problem is I'm deathly afraid to unload n load on flat ground. Is there anyplace out at the track to make it easier to unload? Or if someone has a trailer and willing to help I could unload onto a trailer, then onto the ground. Ideas???

I have seen it done from the hill toward the skid pad just past the spectator viewing area.  Don't know if that helps?  But I would be happy to help should you need a hand.

Once you get to the track that's the easy part; there will be a bunch of folks around willing to help.

The tricky part is loading by yourself at the house.  Do you have that part under control?

Ya, there's is a perfect hill here at home. I'm just hesitant because I almost dropped it off the truck when the milk crate flipped out from under my feet once. Thanks for the input, I'll try the hill that was mentioned or find a trailer to use as intermediate.
