ran great, I blew a few shifts, hit the rev limiter several times. man these things NEED more power on the straights, I got my @$$ handed to me on the back and front straight, and I mean BLOWing by me. still fun tho. I looked at the speedo 3xs at the end of the front straight and 115 was it.

I was surprised to hear everyone say how good it sounded, I thought I'd get a bunch of crap about it.

I'll have to get a video clip together. damn helmet cam has not come in yet, and yesterday was the reason I ordered it. b*st**ds

Yeah I want to start doing track days with mine after I get it back together. I worried that the exhaust would be to loud for the track though and that they would tell me to get out.

Buellgator, when It cools off a little some of us Tampa/Lakeland Buellers will be going back to Jennings GP. It was fun the last time we went.

Misato...Nice!!!
Glad to see your taking full advantage of form and function.

Davefl...
Keep me informed of your next trip to Jennings GP.
I may be able to organize some 3%ers to come down from Georgia.

Will do. It is looking like October as September is all full up for me with Road Atlanta and the BRAG R the R. Are the 3%ers going to the superbike race? I may need someone to hang out with. Can you give me advice on where to stay? I just bought my ticket but I have not booked a room yet.

Welcome to the sickness, brodah. I can tell you are hooked.

Was this a speed track or more of a technical track?

October sounds good!

I have not taking a roll call yet for the AMA event but I know at least a few of us will be there.

As far as lodging, Braselton is sorta in no mans land so nothing is going to be extremely close. < 20 min away

Suwanee - Atlanta Falcons training camp but not much else
Buford - plenty of food and beverage
Lake Lanier - most scenic and most expensive
Jefferson - close and probably lease expensive
Gainesville - plenty of everything you need and closest to great riding areas

I think it had both.. I could only get 110-115 in the front straight and the japs were going at least 20+mph faster.
the back side #3 has a big downhill into some twistys, I hated that downhill part, on the brakes hard, front end shaking, end wiggling.



out of 4 into 5,6,7 was friking cool -when I had the right line anyway. off a little on 5 then 6-7 are all screwed up.. need more TIME. 4-5 I was getting passed ALOT, I had the thing pin'd

the 'bus stop' was very hard for me, not slowing down enough. thats where I went in the dirt a little bit.. (only once tho)

we had 8 20min sessions with 20min school and 20 min q&a.

I had a instructor follow me for a few laps, then I followed him, when we came in he said all the things I was doing wrong/right.
I had 3 of them say the same thing, I'm not getting off the bike enough, I thought I was but I see the pics and I'm not off at all. I have to work on that.

Just had my first track experience today. Not an official "track day" but an advanced rider course. We got plenty of track time on a 3/4 mile small track with 18 turns. The fastest I got up to on the straight section was 86mph (GPS, no I wasn't watching!). Many people were interested in the Buell, since most of the bikes there were SV650's and the like. I had a blast, can't wait to go back for the intermediate sessions next year!

May have pics from the photographer service, for now this is all I have after I got home (forgot to bring camera). Next time I'm going to try to bring a few more Buells there! Otherwise our local BRAG president wants to secure a day at Brainerd next summer.
