Author Message   Sanchez Posted on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 09:03 am:        Alright, you punk asses. I'm heading out now.   Bambi Posted on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 01:06 pm:        Congratulations Sanchez! Looks like you have an actual "Rider" not just an "Owner". Maybe you can get her to pat me on the head and transfer some of that "intestinal fortitude" over to me.   Bambi Posted on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 01:09 pm:        Hey Glitch, anyway you or the other Web Masters could do something so the Smiley Face Pop up doesn't close each time you make a selection but either waits and closes when you post or until you click on an "X" to close it. My laptop is so slow it takes forever for the icons to fill the page every time. Just a thought/suggestion.   Odie Posted on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 01:38 pm:        Beautiful weather here, frayed clutch cable out, new clutch cable being installed, fresh primary oil standing by, haven't rode in 2 weeks due to weather, stopping by Dothan HD/B to see if the 1125R has arrived, last turn of the wrench to tighten the cable into the primary........and it snaps off leaving the threads in the primary. Lovely......got the threads out, Phil had a cable in stock so he's shipping to me Monday. Local dealer doesn't have crap for Buells. Go figure. Gonna be one of those days......   Sanchez Posted on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 03:20 pm:        Man, what a beautiful day. There wasn't much gravel on the roads, and there was almost no traffic at all. I felt like I had the whole mountain to myself. The gixxer is fun, but man it sure is a workout. There is nothing relaxing about riding that thing through the mountains! Fran, it was good to see you, even though we didn't get to ride too many miles together.   Fran_dog Posted on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 05:51 pm:        Good to ride with you too. I ended up going the long way home. I'm beat, but that was fun.   Fran_dog Posted on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 05:59 pm:        I'm planning on going to the IMS next Saturday. Anyone one else planning on going Saturday?   Bambi Posted on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 06:20 pm:        We are planning on going on Sunday so a new riding buddy of our can go with us. He is thinking about changing from a Cruiser to something more Motard or sporty so he wants to milk Kdan's Brain. He doesn't realize that hanging with Kdan will put him in the "Biker's Poor House" with a different bike for each mood....or day of the week, which ever comes first!   Kdan Posted on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 07:18 pm:        He doesn't realize that hanging with Kdan will put him in the "Biker's Poor House" with a different bike for each mood You say that like it's a bad thing.   Mountainrider Posted on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 07:29 pm:        It was a nice day and traffic was near nothing. More ladies out on bikes today then men ,sort of sad.   Bambi Posted on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 08:26 pm:        Hmmm, I'm thinking maybe not so much for the unmarried/unattached biker dudes out there. You just made them wish they had gotten out from behind the TV/PC today.   New12r Posted on Sunday, January 13, 2008 - 10:44 am:        I was riding in spirit. Odie, I have rode twice since nov. so I feel ya. I rode with expired tags on Fri just because I had not rode in so long.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, January 13, 2008 - 10:59 am:        I'll probably be photographing at Tally on Saturday, so I'm shooting for Sunday for the IMS. On a completely unrelated note, holy crap my legs are sore. Prior to yesterday, I hadn't really had to use my legs while riding since last April. For those of you inclined to hang off your bike, what do you do with your outside foot? I've always cornered with both toes on the pegs. I got a chance to talk to Opie Caylor (AMA racer working at Marietta Motorsports) last weekend, though, and he puts his outside heel down: I tried it, and it really does give me extra room to hang off. By turning my outside toe out a bit, I can put my calf right up against the bike. It feels more natural, and it doesn't twist my knee as much. The drawback is that it's harder to transition. It takes a little hopping jig to make it work quickly.   Shred Posted on Sunday, January 13, 2008 - 02:32 pm:        Sanchez, Opie's a class act, I've only spoke to him once or twice at the WERA National races which is co-sanctioned by the AMA. He races A and B Superstock and Formula 1 and takes the podium at just about every race. The joke is that he's got a second garage for all his trophies. lol!   Mountainrider Posted on Sunday, January 13, 2008 - 07:39 pm:        Matt if you thought yesterday was dead you should have came up today. It was like having my own personal road. I love this time of year. Thought JC was going to get in a short ride but his back tire was down to the cords. We will take care of that tomorrow.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, January 13, 2008 - 09:12 pm:        I'd like to have ridden again today, but I just had too much to do. Things I fixed today: - Refrigerator (replaced thermostat) - Light fixture (replaced glass cover) - Toilet seat (probably says nothing positive about my ass that it broke) - Gigantic pile of wet leaves in my driveway (glad I shelled out for the 6.5 hp mower now) - crf50 (working on tuning the carb) Unfortunately I still have plenty left to work on. I need another day or two of weekend.   Mountainrider Posted on Sunday, January 13, 2008 - 09:29 pm:        A man who had just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit. The blonde mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the body dressed. She points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already wearing. The widow however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit. She gives the blonde mortician a blank check and says, " I don't care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing." The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe. The suit fits him perfectly! She says to the mortician, " whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied. You did an excelent job and I'm very grateful. How much did you spend? " To her astonishment, the blonde mortician presents her with the blank check. "There's no charge," she says. No, really I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite suit! " she says. Honestly, ma'am" the blonde says, " it cost nothing. You see, a deceased gentleman about your husband's size was brought in shortly after you left yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked his wife if she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and she said it made no difference as long as he looked nice. So I just switched heads.   New12r Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 07:44 am:          New12r Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 09:46 am:        I dont know about yall, but I am whooped. Glitch, tell Colin to exploit his wound to his girlfriend for the added attn.! It was fun having yall over, we will have to have a bbq in the spring and have the "mini races" on the new track! Folks, we need a couple more 50's and small bikes, I have a dirt track in the back yard to play on and we are tearing it up on the 80 and Shreds 50! I will post some pics tonight.   M1a65 Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 10:43 am:        Glad to hear you got those slippery wet leaves up Matt, other wise I'd be driving the 4x4 the next time I visit!   Glitch Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 11:19 am:        He was on the phone all the way home describing in every detail his get off. Man yesterday was fun. After we get moved and I'm working again, I'll be looking at getting a little bike. It's too much fun not to. The track is killer! Needs more break in though   Sanchez Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 11:30 am:        Lol, yeah, I appreciate the PT Cruiser burnout in my driveway, Frank! Haha! I'm working on getting my GF's 50 running right. It won't go in the dirt with its street tires, but it will make for some good parking lot fun.   New12r Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 11:33 am:        Needs more break in though I agree! Sanchez, I will get some street tires for the 80 in a couple months.   Shred Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 03:25 pm:        Charlie, That was a hoot, I'm a bit sore from my get off in turn 6, the left hander by the house going into the strait away. I can't seem to make up my mind about what kind of tires I want for the Z50R. Street or dirt?   U4euh Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 05:35 pm:        Hey Glitch: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=21&post=1047789#POST1047789   Odie Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 06:23 pm:        New12r- was it you guys I did the Blast pipe mod for? Let me know when you get a chance please. If you have time drop me a quick call so I can ask you a few questions. Thanks! (334)447-7051   Shred Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 06:36 pm:        Charlie/Sanchez, Looks like I'm in for Tally, might even be picking up a KTM 50 senior and and crf50. I'm trying to work out the package deal now. Shelley gave me the "o.k" Looks like me might just start our own mini-racing series. SUPER-MOTO-50   Sanchez Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 07:51 pm:        Ok, cool. Are you camping out Friday night? Jessica and I were just planning on sleeping in your trailer.   Sanchez Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 07:52 pm:        Oh, and does this mean I can't use your tire warmers?   New12r Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 - 07:52 pm:        Odie, I will give you a call. Shred, OH boy, lets get in trouble!!
