Thanks for the photo-op, Hoopty!

That was on Sunday during Modern Vintage U. His bike wouldn't start for some reason and the grid took off in front of him. He got a push start from Timmay and got it started but the leaders were in turn 4 by then, he chased them down and lost the front in 4 while trail braking, not sure exactly what happend since he had alot of tread left but it was a slow one and no damage to him or the bike so yeah he did win Monday so the championship is still in reach. Thanks for coming down btw!!!

Dana, so do i

That can't be turn 4....4 is a right hander...

anyways, glad to hear it all turned out well. Dave is certainly riding great this year!

Who mounted that bodywork on his new bike, it looks flawless!

[Metastable]

Ah - I thought he blew an engine or something like that with his 03 Gixxer.... maybe that was the old one? Although I meant some ex AMA bike 06/07 done up to the tits. The bodywork does look quite nice... I like the yellow, but the wheels look a little.....

BTW Hoopty, here are a couple of local AM600 riders. This is a practice for a regional race (not nationals). #777 is a bud of mine that did his first trackday last year. #777 lost his visor towards the end of the video, that's why you see the camera bike blowing past him again. This track is flat in terms of elevation changes, but quite bumpy.

He blew the engine last year in Utah, threw a rod through the case!
The wheels came with the bike, I did the paint but definately not on the wheels those will be black before the next race

It was turn 3, Scott. Sorry you had to go home early. How's the R6?

And yeah, Dave, you're riding the piss out of that thing! Most of the time, anyway...

Here's some more from the series:

Had to pull in the zoom and run backwards out of the way, that's why that one is a little blurry. : - )

I've got a bunch of pictures of the pretty bike. Haven't had a chance to sort through everything and get them on the website. Damn job. Soon, I hope.

Yeah....I was bummed too.

The R6 is a bit rough at the moment. The way it tumbled caused damage pretty much everywhere, so there is lots of work to do. On a good note, the bodywork held up really well. That gp composites stuff really rocks. The tank, exhaust and fairing stay will need to be replaced. There is something up with the front end, but I'll need to get it torn apart to figure it out.

Great to see you...

Can't be mad at him, he kept it up for a couple years

Who needs Viagra when you can keep it up for a couple of years?!?!

Whassup Marco??? No, I hadn't heard Joe and Tee were expecting. Oh shit, there goes the planet

[Metastable]

Going well - got a trackday on Monday. Let's hope all goes well.... then I'm signed up for the 24th (Sept) at Mid-Ohio.... road trip anyone?

Ya I hope Tee carries it through with no problems.... it will be a small mafioso(a) that talks a lot.
