supermoto riding on the 19th....?

[D Berns R6]

I am going to be at IMI with my sponsor Grand Prix Motorsports to do some supermoto riding monday the 19th of November. The more tards the better!

Anyone interested?

[Bueller]

What bikes will they have, or do we have to bring our own?

[D Berns R6]

I believe you will have to bring your own....

Mr. Burns,

If you bring a Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Suzuki sumo for me to try, I will be there :)

Unfortunately, I have to work the 19th. Maybe I should quit.

I should be out there with my sponcer as well, Master card.

Just send your sponser with me, since you have to work that day. :)

will i be able to do the dirt section too?

[Bueller]

It is just a normal day, if no sportbikes or karts are running you can do pretty much anything you want. If the dirt is wet everyone will hate you for dragging mud on the track.
There is no defined track, it is pretty much a mess. You can have more fun by running the big track on the very south end of the complex.

new here....just picked up an SXV550 last Saturday.

What time are you going on Monday?

[D Berns R6]

Not sure, I'm guessing in the morning sometime, I am going to call my sponsor tomorrow and finalize the plans...

[Bueller]

What bikes are they bringing? Personal bikes or shop bikes?

[Clarkie]

hmmmm.....we should have a "Derek's Sponsor" vs the rest smakdown race, that means the Cracker Boys are with us :alien:

[Bueller]

I'll have to ride one handed.:(

[Clarkie]

we can always use a blocker :alien:

have you had the surgery yet?

[Bueller]

Yeah did it Tues.

[Clarkie]

how is it?

[Bueller]

Good so far, this was for the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. It'll be nice to ride without my clutch hand being numb.
Rotator cuff looks to be a strain and not a tear, so no surgery for that. Actually trail riding last Saturday did it a world of good. I was just too tired and sore to come up to IMI Sunday.

[D Berns R6]

Haha, I've never been on a supermoto and only been on dirt twice. I learn pretty fast though...but Im sure i'll be slow...

BTW: I called, I guess he just got some dirt bikes for the '08 season and might need to bring them to his suspension guy...so 50/50 chance of going, will find out tomorrow evening....

[Clarkie]

Derek you will have a blast!!! The best thing is if/when you crash it's not like in roadracing where you are picking up pieces off the track, usually you just pick the moto up and keep going :)

wear your leathers, if you are going to ride RR style (knee out) you can just use your street boots, if you are going to MX the corners you will need MX boots and you will start to wear through them after a while

let us know if you are going

[D Berns R6]

Will do Clarkie, Thanks! I want to try both styles but I don't have MX boots!

I will let you know tomorrow evening....

[D Berns R6]

Called today, he has to bring the bikes in for suspension work so I will not be going unless someone already going has a spare supermoto for me to ride. :)
