Author Message   Xwraithx Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 09:54 am:        on that note- anyone off today and wanna go ride? i have this whole week off and am bored to tears! put on the pro series plug wires yesterday, i dont know how much it's goin to help, but i needed new wires anyway.   Xbullet Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 11:47 am:        Wraith -- sunday little brother is comin' up to suches. i'll be in blue ridge all weekend, so if yer wanna come up, holler at me. i can probably get away saturday afternoon, too. ridin' to hiawassee friday night for a gig. would like to have an interstate buddy.... call me for details. anybody who wants to hook up, sunday is doin' the loop day. i think little bro and i are meetin' 10ish at TWO.   New12r Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 12:07 pm:        Sorry, Sunday I will be in Helen with Mom for Mother's day. She worked 13 hours on Mother's day so I did not even get to talk to her! My track day will be the next big riding day for me.   Ratyson Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 01:52 pm:        Races were canceled this weekend do to the fires, Jennings is a smoke fest. Their going to re-schedule. Bummer.. But I can understand. Huntsville was covered in a thick blanket of smoke from the fires... Yes, I did say that HUNTSVILLE was covered in a thick blanket of smoke from the fires in SOUTH GEORGIA/FLORIDA. I was completely amazed.}   Shred Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 02:52 pm:        I'm out for the track day at Tally. Looks like I might be at Roebling that weekend. I'd like to get another 1st and 3rd place again. That track rocks.... Charlie, I heard the new pavement at Tally is nice and gripy now. I wish I could go...but I can only do so much. That 1st race I did in early February was scary. New pavement and I think the temp was 37 and 10-15 mph winds... I heard PTT might try to do a late fall track day at Barber. I'll call Leon and ask if its true. Get us Buellers together, I can't believe they set the last Barber track day on the same weekend as MBIV... Races are canceled "Freakin fires" I still can't believe it....So since I'm already off work Shelley and I are going to the the mountains for a little ride on Friday. We're leaving L'ville around 8 ish' so if anyone wants to ride or do lunch post up. We're doing the old school loop and maybe up 60 once.

Give me a call 678-983-6434   Sanchez Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 04:38 pm:        Late fall at Barber would be awesome. I should be back on two wheels by then.   Xwraithx Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 07:09 pm:        Chihuahua_stud- i'll give ya a ring about 11ish, now just have to figure out where to go ride. side note- i went for a quick ride just to see if the wires did anything, and i would have to say they did, the responce feels much snappier and it feels like it just wants to pull and pull! they are much thicker than the stock wires, i would recomend them!

Good to hear from you again.   Kdan Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 07:17 am:        Hey Ducky! Where you need to stay when you're here?

Ride your own ride. You'll catch up to him eventually and you can help him pick his bike up. Look through the corners and "lean or die". Have fun, I'm jealous.   New12r Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 10:40 am:        You'll catch up to him eventually and you can help him pick his bike up. After our up and coming track day we will all be faster/better riders! YO GLITCH, ARE YOU STILL ALIVE??? Oh yeah, Registered for Little Tally on 6/3! (Message edited by new12r on May 17, 2007)   Jlnance Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 12:30 pm:        Sorry for posting this so long after the event. I remember some pictures a few months ago where several of you disassembled an XB that had some sort of engine problems. I believe the bike was eventually parted out. Remember what I'm talking about? Anyway, I've got a friend looking for the front head & cylinder from an XB. Are pieces of that bike sill available?   Duc_htr Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 01:42 pm:        Odie, CRAP $%#@ %$$#(&@# @#$&(^&(@*#$ It's on it's way today... Cycle Gear Diablo Blowout sale saturday... www.cyclegear.com... $159 for a set... Thats front and rear... Kdan, anywhere will work... I will probably rent a car... Thanks KDan... I will let you know if when I plan on coming... Have a great safe weekend guys... wish I was there to enjoy the mountains...   Sanchez Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 02:25 pm:        > NOT SANCHEZ THOUGH Funny, my spare bedrooms just mysteriously filled up right on the day you're arriving. > "lean or die" Just remember that sometimes it's "lean AND die." Here's a lesson in motorcycle physics from Uncle Sanchez: Too much counter steering pressure on the bars as your front suspension unloads on the way out of a corner can cause a tank slapper. See 00:48 in this video for an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPVGO2NQvgo&NR=1 Should you find yourself in such a situation, try to roll on the throttle and pull weight off the front wheel. Odds are really good that it's too late and you're going to wreck no matter what you do, but it's your only hope. You really should've coughed up for a steering damper or paid more attention to that little voice in the back of your head telling you that long ass dirt bike bars can give you a dangerous amount of leverage, and now you have a broken ankle.   Sanchez Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 02:37 pm:        I went in to get my staples removed today. It was pretty sweet. The doctor even let me take a couple out myself. While I was there, I got copies of my x-rays. Here's my ankle the day I broke it: And here it is after surgery:   New12r Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 02:46 pm:        Our newest weather man!! That metal will tell ya when it is gonna rain!   Chihuahua_stud Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 03:46 pm:        I don't need any help picking my bike up! I have had plenty of practice.   Bambi Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 04:05 pm:        He He He...Keep it up and you'll have Me and Sanchez beat! Since MissBehavin' bugged out on us you'll have to take us spot in the "Tipsy Triplets".   Shred Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 04:18 pm:        Sanchez, Talk about "puttin the screw to ya" Glad it wasn't worse!! Hope your recovery is fast.... Looks like you have til spring for the Barber PTT track day. Tally track day... Talked to Ed today and he said for those who are camping at Tally the gates will be open from 5pm to 10pm the night before the track day. For those who are driving from the Ga. area to Tally it takes me about 1:45 to 2hrs from L'ville and its a hr earlier in AL,   Xwraithx Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 04:55 pm:        chi_stud- had a great time today, those workin stiffs just dont know! you need a pipe on that bike, i cant even hear you! well, i really cant hear anything on top of my bike sanchez- you went through resurgens? thats who did my physical therapy after my wreck. those screws look bad ass, your part mech now did you get one of those neat cards saying you have metal in your body for metal detectors? and that vid hurts to watch, i like the one racer who recovers comin off the bike, that was pretty gnar gnar   Shred Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 08:11 pm:        Here's some pics' I'd like to share with all the soon to be Moms and Dads.   Duc_htr Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 08:32 pm:        Shred, are you sure he's not the milkmans kid?? he's too cute to have your blood Sanchez, OUCH... Odie, Tomorrow I SWEAR IT! Smoke, are you still interested in that trailer CHOCK? let me know... maybe I could ship it to you in a month or two like odies pipe...   New12r Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 10:19 pm:        Shred, you are hardcore, Ridin your kid with your "special sock" and a broken wrist!!!   Ft_bstrd Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 10:33 pm:        ChadHargis and I plan to be back down at TWO the weekend of the 1-3rd. We're coming down on Friday to set up base camp and plan to ride all weekend. We'd love to hook up with anyone who's going to be out and about. Shoot me a PM if you'd like to hook up.
