"If your not on the gas or on the brakes you're losing time" - An old Kenny Roberts saying. So true. Congrats & good Luck Paint_Shaker! | ||
| Blake |
Good luck! | ||
| Paint_shaker |
Thanks guys! Looking forward to mixing it up with the Buell!! | ||

Man, this is exciting. I am working on two other co-sponsors, both of which are some big names. Have to wait and see... (man I hate waiting!!!) "Buell. Because sometimes rice just ain't enough" Not-so licensed trademark of Paint Shaker Inc. | ||

Who??? I am really excited about this year too. Everything is really shaping up sponsor wise. Two in particular I am very active with and we are building a great relationship that I am sure will last a long time. There is a cat in the bag that I will let out as soon as the time is right. How long have you been racing? This is only my second full year. | ||
| Paint_shaker |
Eboos, Can't say who right now... This will be my first race season. I am very fortunate to have had some extremely good fortune bestowed upon me. Sponsor plug; Don't forget to see Gainesville H-D/Buell for all your Buell needs! (Message edited by Paint_shaker on January 05, 2009) | ||
| Eboos |
Yeah, I know. Figured I'd ask though. The bags are full of cats for a little while longer. | ||
| Paint_shaker |
I would just like to say that I have been extemely fortunate in getting my racing effort started. Many thanks to all those helping out; Xopti/Mike, Marty, FlyScot/John, PaulXb/Paul, WolfRider/Mark. I would like to give special thanks to BuellGator/Paul. Without him I know I would not even be close to where I am at now and may have never even set a tire on a track! So here's to friends and partnerships!! Hopefully we will have a successfull run this season!!! More sponsorship announcements forthcoming! Oh yeah..... Florida Gators, 2008 National Champs!!! | ||

| Redbuelljunkie |
Congratulations... web site looks good. Schedule permitting, I'm planning on showing up to provide a cheering section as often as possible. On the subject of sponsors- I just became an Amsoil dealer, so if you need any help in that area let me know. | ||
| Paint_shaker |
Hmmmmmm... I just put Amsoil in the race bike today! lol | ||
| Paint_shaker |
Sponsor news update; I wasn't able to get Mountain Dew onboard. | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
I'm so on the fence for this season.... $$$ Every time I think things are going good... POW!! It all started with hurricane Ike... Power was out for a week... had to buy a BIG generator (all elec.house) but didn't get it in time to save the food... Car needs new tires... Truck needs new tires.... Wife car needs new tires... Water pump takes a dump on the wifes car... The furnace blows up... It freak'n freezing out!! My racing budget is getting SUCKED dry!! | ||
| Eboos |
I am really counting on my tax returns and sponsor support to get me through the season. Tires will be my biggest issue, but fortunately I should have some help there. Once the season starts, things should be OK. Getting ready right now on a tight budget is getting me a little worried. | ||
| Paint_shaker |
Wolf and Eboos, I hear ya!!! There always seems to be something conspiring to drain the racing budget!!! For now it is safe, but you never know what tommorrow may bring! | ||
| Rocketsprink |
do what you can. race when you can. nothing worse than going in the hole and having to get out of it all together. i will be running a limited schedule this year. more to do with a weird midwest region ccs schedule and overlapping with other commitments. | ||
| Sd26 |
You can say weird again. I don't think I'm going to the HPT rounds. I'll do some AHRMA, I think, in the area. | ||
| Paint_shaker |
I am proud to announce Codys Roadhouse Restaurant as a co-sponsor!! Welcome aboard!! If you like great steak, Codys has you covered!! | ||
| Gentleman_jon |
Hey Laird, That is outstanding!! Good Luck in 2009. Hope that doesn't mean you wont be riding with us civilians at MB Vl.  | ||

Congrats and good luck, Hope to see you at some races. | ||
| Paint_shaker |
Almost ready!! Only thing left is safety wire and steering damper.  | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
Get this one and let me know how it works!! http://www.gprstabilizer.com/shopping_sportbikes_b uell_xb-firebolt_All | ||
| Paint_shaker |
Wolf, I ordered one from Buell Racing, but it has yet to get here. If it is not in soon, I will be getting a GPR! | ||
| Diablobrian |
Those GPR stabilizers sure look nice, have a good track record, and don't cause all the issues that fitting a standard linear damper do. If we were building a new race bike I know which way I'd be leaning. |
