always fun going with people! I wish haha, gotta get my bike ready to race in jan. Lemme know how it goes, I raced chuckwalla all season long and loved. Becareful with turn 8,9, 10...take it easy there. It's called garcia (crash) hill. I know because I crashed there three times this year lol.
Seriously Man
Big Willow w/TrackXperience was my cherry popper too. Great group of guys. I would be doing much more track days if I didn't have to travel so much with work. Did Chuckwalla last June (hot as hell) stole a port-a-cooler from work to help out... Did Streets of Willow just before coming out here to Taiwan. I usually bring my toy hauler or my bike trailer so if your looking for a car pull buddy or just someone to shoot the shit with, hit me up. If you see a Dodge Ram painted like the General Lee, that would be me
Oh, and turn 3 is where I had my first taste of asphalt...cold day on cold tires

I was nervous about the Big track for cherry popping but it turned out to be an awesome day. Love turn 1 and then 3 up the hill, hate 8 and 9, feels like I'm lost out there. A guy crashed in front of me with cold tires on turn 3. I knew it the moment he took off on me it was going to happen. 1st lap of the 2nd session. It was like 45* outside. I'm going to have to watch some more Chuck vids and def watch out for garcia hill and T3. Next year for sure I'll be out there with you guys!

The grip on the pegs is unbelievably aggressive. Feels like they're digging into my sneakers. Can't wait to take them out for a ride

Posted a vid of CW in June, check it out. I did clockwise the first time but was nervous as hell since it was was first time back after my lowside at Willow. The vid is from the second time there going ccwise. Watched a guy go off on Garcia ccw...didn't get it on vid though.
I love 8-9 at big Willow!!!!! You can really nail it and get a good run on the front straight. I had Brian with TrackXperience working with me cause he rides a 6 the same year as mine. I was seriously pulling punks on liter bikes down the front straight. Felt like "the man" if only for a day. I think 2 is my fav though, 100mph with your knee on the ground.

I just had to order new stailess brake lines and adjustable levers for my bike.
After seeing how sexy your bike is, I couldn't handle not getting something for my baby too.
Oh man... I just ordered new wheels for my dirt bike last week too. I'll never be able to stop working if I keep buying goodies for my riding habit!

You can thank everyone on this forum for that one. They got me hooked. Hope you bought Fren Tubos from Agg or Anthony and levers from Sherman . I had a set budget of $200 every pay period (2wks in my case)....nope that went out the window that first Friday. Its been at least double that. I think I'm going to stop for now. No need for go fast parts when I'm slow. Going to invest that in Track days and seat time.
I really wanted the rearsets though just because I really had to put effort into locking my knee in the tank. I'd like to place my attention elsewhere.
I'll see if I can find your vids. I pulled on some liter bikes down the front straight too. Not sure if it was a good run off of 9, the BAUCE flash (Awesome BTW!!!), or them just being slower than me but it def felt good . I'm too slow for 100mph in turn 2 and my knee is still a virgin. I didn't see but I'd say it was more like 80sh for me(or 70). I actually got a bit comfortable on the last session and then ran wide off 9 and into the dirt . I was like until i hit the hot pit. May have also shat my pantaloons a little bit. Glad I got that out of the way on day 1 . Def gotta work on my lines @ chuck.
Edit!!: Found the vid..watching now

ummmm.... no
I don't really know too much about them. For now, I have just been going through kneedraggers.
Wish I could set a budget for the bike build but got too many other bills.
Dang car payment, House payment, boat payment, the girlfriend tax, and the $1,200 a month child support. Gonna have to stick with the get stuff when I can budget. Usually time like now, when I'm over seas working 12hrs a day, 7 days a week.
