[Cleveland]

[Player 2]

Well damn... I don't wanna hit the track til I get some sliders on the bike and I get my boots.... :(

[CBRChick]

I would be down for hitting the track ... but my tires are a little worn and I don't think I have the cash for new ones ... :( or the $45 just to get on the track ...

[Gramps]

OK


so no one can decide


i think ryan has the right idea

everyone meet at the BP at 10:30ish, we will have a discussion and see what our plan is :idea:

Git-R-Done, Taz! :lol:

[Boy Scout]

Count me in. My preference would be IMI, but a ride in the hills would be fine as well. Could someone please double-check the forecast with Lomax? :lol:

[Player 2]

Well damn... I don't wanna hit the track til I get some sliders on the bike and I get my boots.... :(
Git-R-Done, Taz! :lol:
:P Boots are on their way... need some help throwing sliders on...

[Polar X]

HEY you guys, there will be plenty of people there to get you the CARD discount. I have one and I know several others will be there with them as well. It means the cost drop from 45 to 36. Hope that helps with your decision :D

See ya at SCR on Sunday.

[CBRChick]

So ... it looks like we are meeting at 10:30a at BP on Sunday to head over to IMI? Are we going to have a Q to cook some food? Cuz I would be more than happy to purchase some meat and buns and shtuff if you all would like ... I'm getting excited about this ... reminds me of when I used to live in Fort Collins!

[Player 2]

We'd better have a Q... not gonna be much else I can do but hang out, eat some Q and watch y'all tear it up... :(

[dgoldan]

Put mine on my "00 R1 last year. Went very easy. I have the modeling clay, hole saw, masking tape and emery cloth to smooth out the edges. Gotta work Sat, but I could help out early Sun morning or today.

need some help throwing sliders on...

[Player 2]

Nice! Thanks for the offer Dan. I guess I need to go get some sliders then...

[dgoldan]

Oh! I assumed you already had them and just needed to put them on.

Mine sat on my garage shelf for a year until I got the guts to cut holes in my plastics. Wasn't any big deal and looks like the holes were molded in from the factory.

Nice! Thanks for the offer Dan. I guess I need to go get some sliders then...

[Player 2]

Nope, I've got my boots on the way but haven't purchased sliders yet... Only really started thinking about it this week.

[Boy Scout]

there will be plenty of people there to get you the CARD discount...It means the cost drop from 45 to 36...See ya at SCR on Sunday.Just to clarify, especially for those that may not be familiar with the tracks, my impression was that the track being suggested in this (and the pre-hijacked threads that led to this one) was IMI ($20 flat rate to ride all day). The discount card Polar mentioned applies only at SCR (normally $45 to ride for half-day; discount card reduces it to $36). I believe there is another thread concerning a track day and BBQ at SCR this weekend as well.

This thread (at present) is about meeting at BP (287 & Baseline) in Lafayette, then deciding whether to ride in the hills or go to IMI (which may also include a BBQ).

I'd be willing to chip in if someone is planning to cage it to the track. :up:

Taz: You can probably pick up a set at several of the local bike shops (e.g., Performance, TK, TFOG, dealerships, etc.) -- they're a fairly commonly stocked item. They might cost a bit more locally than you could find online, but if you want them NOW the local shops are probably your only choice. Alternatively, you could make it a point to take it easy on Sunday and not crash, in which case the sliders would be for cosmetic purposes only :D

True dat! The hardest part of installing them was making that initial cut in the plastics :lol:

[CBRChick]

So, is IMI a definite? Because I will cage it and bring stuff for the Q ... who will have the grill? Let's do this thing!!! :yay:

[Cleveland]

Thats my plan. I dont have sliders either. :oops:

I just want to ride. I wouldnt even mind meeting at BP, taking a ride in the hills, and then meeting up with the other group at SCR for a nice BBQ.
:multi:

[Player 2]

I have a feeling I'll follow the group whichever route they take. I can always head up the hills on Monday if I'm still feeling the itch... ;)

[Wahooman]

I am in for IMI unless something drastic happens. Taz get with Dan and get out to the track. If you don't have boots just wear some work boots, who cares. Good track to learn some lean angles and work on cornering. Deals gap is tight too.... :twisted:

Ok dad :P :lol:

I'm coming either way... Definitely gonna try to hook up with Dan to get some frame sliders mounted though. :)

[Boy Scout]

As an FYI, I called IMI today to verify that they were open to sportbikes this Sunday. He said that they were, however, he also told me that they raised their rates to $25 as of the first of the year. Was someone told $20 recently, or were we all going on the assumption that the rates were the same as last year?

[Boy Scout]

(removed -- duplicate post)

[Player 2]

I may end up bailing on this. I just found out I have a poker tournament to play in on Sunday @ 2pm... :| I guess if anything, I can come join in the fun til 1pm or so...

[Gramps]

imi is a definite

i have a small cooker and still have some hot dogs and buns


still meet at the bp at 10:30 so everyone knows how to get there


and 25 is still cheaper than 36

[Player 2]

Ok, I'm still in for this BUT I'll have to bail around 1-1:30. I have a charity poker tournament to go play in @ 2....

[swademaster]

I will probably be at IMI even if I am not riding. :dunno: Depends if I can get the bike fixed tomorrow. If I'm not at the BP, don't wait for me, I'll meet up with everybody at the track.

[~Barn~]

Anybody who isn't planning on tracking it at IMI, want to meet at the BP and do a canyon ride for a few, *then* meet up with everybody out at the track?

See, I'm planning on doing SCR on Saturday, and don't think I can pull off back-to-back track days, but I'd still like to ride on Sunday, and promised somebody a ride also.

Lemme know if this sounds like an option at all, and we can still wrap up the ride at IMI with errbody. :dunno:

[Player 2]

What time you wanna do the canyon ride Barn??

[~Barn~]

I'm pretty sure I could manage meeting at 10:30 or so.

[Player 2]

Damn... if you wanted to do it earlier, I'd be game. As it stands, my time at IMI is already gonna be limited due to the tournament I'm playing in...

[~Barn~]

I hear ya...

[Player 2]

Hard to pass up a free entry in a $150 buy-in tourney... ;)

[Lomax]

I would still like to know where IMI is just in case I can't make the 10:30 time. :oops: Any Body want to help me out on this? :P

Ride Safe.

IMI Motorsports at Erie, CO 303.833.4949 Directions: Take I-25 to Exit 232 (Erie) North of Denver. Go East 1.75 miles (track is on South side).

MAP (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=IMI%20MotorSports%20Inc%20Shop-Track&ll=39.939453%2C-105.028533&spn=0.679688%2C1.231422&sll=39.754395%2C-105.028217&sspn=0.679688%2C1.231422&gl=us)

IMI Motorsports at Erie, CO 303.833.4949 Directions: Take I-25 to Exit 232 (Erie) North of Denver. Go East 1.75 miles (track is on South side).Just an FYI to those that haven't been there before, the 1.75 miles is a gravel road. It's really not a big deal...just didn't want anyone freaking out when they get off I25 and see gravel. Just take it slow and easy and you'll be fine :up:

As a second FYI, the directions Taz gave are correct, however the picture map in the link is not. I guess Google can't do everything. The location is actually on the yellow road about 2.5 miles north of the indicator on the map, to the right of the RR track shown.

[dgoldan]

It's actually better to take the frontage road to the next road south of the Erie exit, then east, north and back west about 1/4 mile. You don't have to ride nearly as far on dirt that way, but if you haven't tried that route, it might be kind of confusing.

Better to leave that way after coming in on the main road so you'll know for next time.

I agree 100%, but due to it being a bit more complex to describe, didn't suggest it. You can actually get off I25 at Hwy 7 (Exit 229), take the east frontage road about 2 miles to Weld County Road (WCR) 6 (there will be a low spot in the road and a few buildings at the intersection). Turn right. It is then pavement going two miles east to WCR 13, then a semi-gravel, but well packed road going north to WCR 8, then only 1/4 mile on real gravel going back west to the track. Not difficult once you've done it, but sounds more complicated. If you're the adventurous type, give it a try. If you miss the turn-off to WCR 6, the next stop sign will be WCR 8 (Exit 232) as described originally.

[Boy Scout]

Soooooo...who all is planning on meeting at BP at 10:30 then heading over to IMI (or heading to the hills for a ride, then to IMI to hangout)? We still doin a Q? If so, prolly need to get an idea of how many plan to show up.

I'd be down for both IMI and a Q!

[~Barn~]

I would prefer a mountain ride, as I will have a passenger who is looking forward to some scenery I imagine. :lol:

[swademaster]

I won't be riding tomorrow. Looks like I will have to pull the engine tomorrow to be able to fix it. I might swing by IMI depending what time I get done. Have fun.

[Cleveland]

i will be @ the BP around 10:30 tomorrow :)

[Keyser Soze]

I'll show for a ride through the hills...no IMI for me

[dgoldan]

My attendance hinges on whether my wife gets called into work. If she works, I'll be at BP. If not, I'll be spending the day with her.

[CBRChick]

Taz and I will be meeting ya'll at the BP at 10:30 to head to IMI ... I am very excited to get back out on the track!!!

[dgoldan]

Just a reminder to all going to the track to wear your protective gear.

No stories about anyone crashing. Okay?

[Keyser Soze]

[Keyser Soze]
