Confirmed :lol Summit Point, WV Shenandoah Circuit

:frantic

no class - no instruction - straight track time

same track as my 8/29 TD

There is this bug on my arm and it keeps nibbeling on me....right underneath the wing, it looks like the word "TRACK" :lol apparently I've been bitten...uh - ouch?

gonna go easy in the AM - temps are gonna be a little cool and I don't have tire warmers.

If i can get the bike sorted before the weather changes.....lol, don't fancy one in the rain.

lol - keep your eyes on the wera board ( I need to figure that out - I go to wera but it doesn't take me to a forum :dunno ) but I need some rearsets - something more sticky than OEM - my foot tends to slip off.

recommended tire pressure for the colder AM temps? I put my psi on the f/r to 28 on my last TD and it stuck like glue the entire day...granted the morning wasn't in the 50'-60's either. BT002R/S

keep you posted, DUH.....I possted a set of Woodcraft rearset for you about 3 weeks ago, along with a lesser brand, and did you buy them...no. But I still love you, don't worry.
And, just wait till you try to keep your boot on the stock pegs in the rain!

on thing about Woodcraft, Lean, is that you can use stock OE linkage, shift pedal, brake pedal and footpegs with them. While that is a big plus because you can use stock stuff if you crash and render the woodcraft items useless, the reason I am telling you is because you can buy the rearsets cheaper as a set, without the brake/shift lever and linkage.....use the stock items, and then upgrade when you get more funds.

got the windscreen mounted :punk my girl was over to help with other stuff as well, plus she came to the house fully packed and ready for the track - she is AWESOME

TD #2 - wish me luck. Got some extra GoPro mounts so there will be vids from the front and back...maybe a helmet cam ;)

Wasn't able to do the MCCT, but should be ok - ran outta time - busy tryna drill/dremel out shift forks...yea...drill/dremel :banghead :biggrin

^ LOL moto - yea that's the track...but that vid is freakin OLD man...the track isn't that dirty at all.

:frantic :frantic :punk :punk :frantic :frantic :punk :punk :punk

dear GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stay tuned................................

CCM - I'm going to not add music to some of these vids :thumbup All the vids will be forward facing....you'll see what I see.

It was EXTREMELY cold in the AM. The first couple session were quite hairy. No slips or anything...just having that in your mind makes it kinda sketchy. It rained for a split second around 6am - but not enough to cause any lasting effects on the track. It warmed up...and oh man.................

If anyone watched my youtube vid 8/29 ART I track day - you can see riders come up from behind and pass me or I'll get caught up in traffic, that's a clear sign that I need to work on my corner speed because I'm getting caught in the turns......wait till you see these vids lol...complete opposite.

I was so excited on this one right hander I needed to work on, when I hit the turn perfectly AND dragged knee, I hit the straight pumping my left fist in the air LMAO!!!

we had one guy from our "gang" low side in intermediate group which turned into the bike flipping - he was ok. We had one session red flagged because of another wreck. Another guy from our "gang" got the bump to intermediate.

lol I got some other stuff I need to do right now - but here are some pics

here is the guy in intermediate that low sided

lowside on a left hander - bike flipped when it slid off the track and grabbed dirt

he's already ordered the stuff to fix it. It started right up - no leaks. When I post the vids, if you look close at the ground on the left hander after the long back straight - you'll see the white marks in the track where he slid off.
