IMI Sat. 4/5?

[BugHunter]

The weather should be great, no tard races, and no go-cart races. I'll be there for sure and it's allways better when we have lots of sportbikes there. If you are planning on showing remember we share the track with cart rentals and they are usually buisier later in the day so showing up early=more track time.

[cromer611]

my tranny blew up dude. so the black kawi is resting till first race, if i can even get parts and throw the new tranny back in by then : (

[BugHunter]

sorry to hear it, hope you can make the first race.

[pauliep]

I will try to be there at 0900

[Mae]

I was suggesting to a couple friends to go out there this weekend so they could play a lil bit and so I could get some pics!
I'll see if they are still up for it, if so, I'll be there!

[green_zx7r]

I'll be there by 10-11am.

Look forward to seeing you all again. :)

It will be good to see you my friend, it's been too long.

Scott

[Slo]

i will be out there, just trying to see if i can get my tires put on..... either way though ill make it there.

What part of town are you in Jay?
I have one of those Harbor Freight manual tire stations.
Mounted my new rear tire last weekend and will be doing the front this weekend.
If you want to swing by the Downtown Littleton area I can hook ya up.

Or I can throw it in the car and bring it out to IMI.
Maybe Bueller will let me crash...um, I mean ride...... his tard.

[Slo]

Hell if you make it out to IMI, and help change the tires, we can switch off every other session on my bike. Since I will not be riding every single session out there. Just let me know and thanks for the offer, I just don't have time this week to get my wheels to a shop.

*EDIT* Doug will be helping me bring the bike to IMI so I will be there....

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

Hmmmmmm.....might have to do this.......

[All-Labout-me]

I'll be there first thing Sat morning.
See everyone there.

YEAH...get there!

[pauliep]

Looks like there should be a good turn out. You strapping on the the tank cam Jay?

[Slo]

Yeah if it still works.... if anyone else has a minidv that i can borrow for the day and a couple of days afterwards, please bring it.....

[pauliep]

oh no, what happened to yours?

[Slo]

got a little messed up at PMI from a bad tape. So if anyone wants video, bring your camcorder and I will get you on video, but I will need to borrow the camcorder for another day or two to upload/edit it.....

And if I crash, I'm not responsible for what happens to it haha.

[pauliep]

Remember, no racing at IMI...

I won't be there with all these street bikes showing up.
You people should go to PMI or the canyons, IMI SUCKS!

[Sortarican]

I'm a maybe, would be nice to shake down the 636 some more :)

You trailering the bike if you go?
Got room for another scooter?


I won't be there....You people should go to PMI or the canyons, IMI SUCKS!

Ahhh....reverse psychology....that old chestnut.

[konichd]

^^^Jeff, its Shortcake's call whether I go or not. If so I'll have room for your scoot. Afterall, the sleevless shirts will allow for plenty of room :)

That's bad-ass! I wonder how long I have to wait before my 1-1/2 yr. old boy can do that?
He's gonna do that and mutton-bustin' FTW! (i always wanted to use that acronym)

oh and Jay, I may have a camera for you if I end up going. I'm scared of cold pavement though so it's gotta be warm.

[pauliep]

I was hoping someone would check out those vids

[green_zx7r]

Damn...if you're gonna be there then I HAVE to show up...

It will be good to see you my friend, it's been too long.

Scott

Sweeeet! Would love to see ya there my friend!

It will definitely be good to relieve some stress and unwind from working so damn much! :( I pretty much have no life outside of work these days... I think I saw my daughter awake maybe one day in the last two weeks! :banghead:

[ducgirl46]

Wish I could make it. Have fun!

[Sortarican]

Looks likely that I'll be up Saturday. Dana and Linda are thinking of coming up too.

Jay,
I'll bring the tire station with me.
What time are you planning on getting there?

Don't know if I feel comfortable borrowing your bike. I'd hate to lay it down.
Still trying to decide if I'll bring mine or not.

[pauliep]

I was trying to get T-byrd to go but she's got a swing arm to put on and plug wire to replace.

[rybo]

I was trying to get T-byrd to go but she's got a swing arm to put on and plug wire to replace.

What happened to the swing arm?

[pauliep]

We got a new one for it. I duno if you heard about the issues it had last year... but the bolts on the rear tire weren't tighten all the way or something and it was doing some damage to the swing arm. I didn't think it hurt the integrity of bike but she felt I it needed to be replaced. Maybe there was something else wrong that I didn't know about but doubtful to me.

[rybo]

Bummer, didn't know that.

Anyways, if she needs a hand putting it back together, let me know. She was a lifesaver at Miller last year and I owe her for that. I know she hasn't been on here in a while, so, you get to be the telegraph.

S

[pauliep]

No problem, I've been doing an ok job of passing things on. That reminds me to ask her if she wanted to attend the road racing clinic. She was interested when I brought it up last.

[Slo]

Well I actually have another guy that will be there on Saturday to change the tires, just found out.... So thanks for the offer but don't worry about it. Also....don't worry about borrowing my bike, the race plastics were very cheap so I'm not worried about it unless you wad up the bike completely haha. I'm sure you will be semi-carefull.

[Sortarican]

.... So thanks for the offer but don't worry about it....

In the word of Forrest Gump: "That's good...one less thing."

Plus we don't have to worry about getting up there early.
So heavy drinking is an option for Friday night....win/win.:drink:

I'm bringing the R6....you should too!

[Sortarican]

I'm bringing the R6....you should too!

Would prefer to wait till I have some other peices/parts installed, but it's a possibility.
Probably 50/50 on riding right now.
If I don't it'll still be fun to just hang out and drink beer while you guys ride.
(Anybody need a really ugly umbrella girl?)

[Sortarican]

What's the deal on coolant at IMI.
Have they gone to water only yet?

[Slo]

nope

[firefghtr]

so i might be up there with the new bike, depending on a couple things, even if the bike is not ready i still might come up. and hang wichya jay

[Slo]

Yeah Garret, would be good to see you again, it's been a while.

[firefghtr]

what time are you heading up there

[Slo]

I should be up there no later than 0930-10am

[firefghtr]

alright sweet. well i wont be getting home till 930-10 from work so ill call ya and see if your still up there when im ready

[firefghtr]

you know what i just thought of this im an idiot. lol. even if my bike isnt ready i can still bring the 250 up and ride dirty, so ill be there

[ZX Rider]

I think I'll be there.

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

Fark! Much as I'd love to, gonna have to skip this one. Got to get ready for my trip to Cleveland Tuesday.

Have fun and be safe guys!

[firefghtr]

ATTENTION+++ my new race boots are on order still, does anyone have an extra pair say size 91/2 i could borrow tomorrow?

[HOTCARCASS]

I'm in see ya around 9

[r6srider]

I am new at this site. Where is the track to race at? Maybe I can meet some members here and ride together.

[rybo]

The track is up north at the Erie Dacono exit. It's a 1 mile track with 10 turns and in most ways is a bit too small for sportbikes. Most won't make it out of second gear. That being said, it's a place to ride around where there isn't gravel, guardrails or oncoming traffic. No racing...just some fun tracktime.

Scott

[Slo]

Was definitely good seeing old faces out there again!!!!

[dirkterrell]

Pretty good turnout today. I snapped a couple of pics:

In the ~5 hours I was there, three ambulance calls were made but none for any of the asphalt riders. :up:

Dirk

[Slo]

Big thanks to Ian for taking the time to come out for a tire change.....

Video posted in pics/vid section, sorry didn't get everyone on it :(

[firefghtr]

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

Hey Dirk, nice seeing you again last Thursday, as usual. I REALLY like your 20th anniversary-edition Gixxer 750. IMO, Suzuki REALLY f#cked up in not doing that for the 20th anniversary of the 1000 in '06. It would have been nice to have my original (Blu/Wht) '86 and an '06 as bookends. Ah well..... Maybe they'll pull their heads out and do a 25th anniversary edition? Just as long as they don't pull a "Hardley-Ableson" and do an "anniversary" edition every 5 friggin' years.....

[dirkterrell]

Hey Dirk, nice seeing you again last Thursday, as usual. I REALLY like your 20th anniversary-edition Gixxer 750.

Thanks man. Great seeing you again and having some time to chew the fat Thursday evening. I hope to make it a regular trip again now that we've turned the corner on winter. Yeah, I really liked the paint scheme on the 20th anni model. Scott got some great shots of it in action on Saturday:

[r6srider]

The track is far did not know it was in queblo. Are the cops cool on the way their I know no body rides the speed limit it is a good place to open up your bike. I took my Jetta down their and opened it up to 117 MP but slowed due to high wind gusts. Just a question I am buying a 2007 or 2008 Yamaha R6s does anyone know the top speed of the bike and are their goveners on bikes as well as cars?

[Slo]

If your headed to the track or from, not trying to tell you how to ride, but you can get your aggressions out while at the track. IMI is where we were just at yesterday, just 10 miles north up on I-25 & 120th ave, Erie/Dacono exit.....

[firefghtr]

and im sure the top speed is prolly more than you'll need or every get to anyway. and bikes dont have goveners, they have rev limiters so you dont blow your engine

[dragos13]

top speed is only important if you have a track with a long enough straight. at pueblo you should be able to hit 130 if you get a good drive out of ten. please dont be a fool and become another statistic by trying to reach top speed on the street. remember, things can and do happen even on the track, and especially on the street.

[dirkterrell]

Yes, like the total fucktard Jay, Diego and I saw going home from the racing clinic. We were cruising along with heavy traffic on I-25 at about 70 or so and this dumbass came flying up on our right at 100+ easy and cut across all the lanes of traffic at close to full lean, all at once in between a bunch of cars. He is a statistic waiting to happen and by the looks of it, he won't have to wait long. I just hope he doesn't kill someone besides himself.

That guy was an idiot. I saw him coming from behind and was not speeding to much, but he caught up and immediately started getting excited to pass and show off to us, It seemed that way at least. Just his body language hinted to me what type of maneuver he was about to do… predictable retard.

Did you see him almost not make the express lane, cutting into the carpool lane? For a second, I didn't think he would make it..... But yeah, can't you tell that I am thoroughly impressed?:banghead:

Yeah, I thought we were about to see a body rolling under multiple cars. If he keeps riding like that, it won't be long. Lady Luck will be looking the other way at some point. I guess he exited before that motorcycle cop we saw with the radar gun. He was going lose-your-bike speed.

My Schwantz replica is toast. I just have it on display in the garage. :) I bought the Spencer replica for the Hondas but I like it so much more than my RF-1000 (matches the Gixxer's paint scheme) that I wear it all the time. :) If they make a Schwantz replica in the RX7, I'll probably get one.
