Depending on what the weather looks like I may very well make it out for this one.

[Clovis]

Oh hells yes

[kat.luvs.sportbikes]

Ohhh!!! I WANNA COME!

[kat.luvs.sportbikes]

Where we meeting up at least and time to ride together at this site?

[Clovis]

We could meet up at the Acorn on 8th/24

[snapshot]

well seeing as how i live up the street i think i can make it.lol

[Tim K]

It's gonna rain on you. At least it's been raining up here in WP every night about that time for the last 2 weeks.

I may just have to try to make this one. Not sure it's worth suiting up to ride 3 miles, so I may just drive. Or walk.

[Concabar]

Bash having a bike night, if I didn't have to get up early on Saturday I would come down.

[TransNone13]

Would like to drop in, will be playing it by ear in regards to the weather. It's supposed to be pretty nasty and I don't have the best rain tires on right now.

[Clovis]

Bike night turn into cage night =)

[gsxrscott]

Don't worry girls, shit floats:bananna:So I guess I will have to be there!

[d3spair]

Ima kill you old style!

(reference, anybody?..)

[Jason ON]

Got something else going on tonight or else I'd be down. Maybe next time.

[$pOiLeD_rOoKiE]

I'm (we're) going to try to make a rare appearance. Don't hold your breath! :up:

[Bashed]

How bout,
Your not made of sugar so you wont melt.
Some of you probably are ready for your monthly bath, Dallas.
Or my personnal favorite....
Now you get to actually ride your bike.
See you there.

[Clovis]

I'll be getting gas at the Acorn station on 24 and 8th street at 6:30 and heading up if anyone wants to ride up to Sonic. We can hold hold hands or high five.

[TransNone13]

Clovis, I think I might be linking up with you, but I can forgo the hand holding. Still watching the skies, like I said I have Power One's on my bike and I'm a little nervous about rain. I need to get my Road 3's put on ASAP.

[Clovis]

Its cloudy but weather.com says 10% chance of rain for the rest of tonight. But it also says 40% chance of rain... so ummm, it's a guess.

It's cloudy but I don't smell rain ;)

[TransNone13]

Yeah, I'm thinking I'm going for it. I don't mind getting wet, guess I'll just slow down if it starts raining. :D

[Clovis]

Great SOCO bike night as always! No rain!

If you didn't come, you missed out on some yummy Woodland Park burgers!

[kat.luvs.sportbikes]

Don't worry girls, shit floats:bananna:So I guess I will have to be there!

LOL
Thanks for a great evening Bash and Scott. I'm fascinated and thrilled to start small in this sportbike world.
I'd really like to get into the track and slowly progress from there.
I'll network with you two more about this. I'd be asking questions...

[$pOiLeD_rOoKiE]

Thanks Bashed for the "Old Skool" bike night. Nice to see all the familiar faces and nice to meet some new faces. We'll try not to be strangers, but no promises.

[Drift]

Damn good thing that I didn't hold my breath! :pointlaugh:

[TransNone13]

It was a pleasure to meet you drift. I'd like to see more locals at the tracks!

Are you the rider with the Honda CBR1000rr? Sorry i'm trying to see a face with their screen names.

[TransNone13]

Yes

[kat.luvs.sportbikes]

Yes

I better watch out the quiet ones. lol
You seemed friendly online. :-D

[TransNone13]

Yes, depending on the situation I am pretty reserved.

I'll take that to mean I was rude in person...

hmmm yyyeeahh lol
I'm trying to imagine you a bit friendly. I can't really see it now haha.
I got excited hearing about track though.
I am browsing for a track suit, this sport is expensive! Its all worth it for experience.
I wanna watch it first and observe. I may do it the next riding season actually do it. I wanna save money for it and network is the key! :-D

[TransNone13]

That's a matter of opinion.

Racing is incredibly expensive and addicting, the two don't go well together. Although, I'd rather be shooting up the straights than my veins.

Least expensive A* on STG.

Don't forget the 15% mil discount.

[kat.luvs.sportbikes]

It's a matter of perspective.

True.
I should've started this when i joined Military. Ugggh
This is the perfect getaway from all non-sense at work (if you know where I'm coming from).
I'm not even in the track, I am now browsing for gear and feel like I'm behind. Im not getting any younger. LOL

[TransNone13]

"Getting it" will have a snowball effect. Next thing you know you'll be up to your neck in it. And for sure, it's great for getting away from work. If I'm not at the COF, I like to remove myself as much as possible from work.

At least you came in as an officer. Enlisted is a whole other ballgame, ugggh.
I've done my term and its ME time. lol Even though, my silly self signed for National Guard. I guess, I'm not completely done with the military. The benefits helps a lot and retirement. I need education bad... :-/

awesome meeting you all, hope to get some rides in here soon

Try Sept (Memorial Day) with Chicane. It's posted under "Track". You'll be fine and you'll like it. Chicane is the best way to start on the track because they will go over flags and have wonderful instructors that show you the track and give you useful tips.
To me, track days with Chicane is not about racing. It is about learning to ride the track at higher speeds than on the road and with far less obstacles.
There are a lot of great people on this forum, and they're usually willing to help with gear, if you post up your size. As a matter of fact, closer to Chicane someone usually posts a thread asking who needs what. And all you'd really need focus on is saving the money to pay for the track day. Do it! :up:

Troll! :P

I appreciate your advice a lot! This is helpful! I wanna observe first and save money. Gotta have a full on leather suit, boots and set my bike up for track, and i think plus insurance too?
If not this season, the next one. I'll still check this Chicane Track event.
I mostly want to experience it and let this speed out in the track. Basically, I wanna have a great time. :-)
Hey! When are you riding again? :-D

[kat.luvs.sportbikes]

you're such a dick

/backtothenorth

Wow. LMFAO
I wish I can be upfront like that. Idk if that's a joke, but my mind does says so. People are different, that's all i can say.
