Author Message   Cms1172 Posted on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 11:33 am:        Hey guys, couldn't meet at noon, but made a 1:30 ride up that way, saw you all coming down though, hope you had a good ride. We went all the way to Lowman then some went on to do the loop then the rest of us came back the same way.   Coturi Posted on Thursday, October 30, 2008 - 10:46 am:        Nate, did you see/bid on the Firebolt on Salvagebikesauctions.com It ended this morning. Last night it had an offer of $1500, and had nearly no damage.   Cms1172 Posted on Thursday, October 30, 2008 - 01:05 pm:        Nate, are you getting the bikes locally? to salvage anyway, would love to know how you get them.   C4bird Posted on Thursday, October 30, 2008 - 06:55 pm:        I didn't see the firebolt, probably a good thing though.. Kinda outa extra cash for the moment, bought a car last month since I have been bikeless for 2 months now... Chad, I picked up this bike from a friend who got axed at a local company whom shall not be named... From what I have seen though, if you watch the Idaho area on that web site Mike listed, you should be able to pick up a pretty decent deal. Most newer generic bikes look to go for about $1500 or so. I've bid on a couple, but have been outbid, I was trying to get one for $1000, haven't had luck yet.

I am planning on doing 2-3 track days along with 2-3 of my other riding friends that need to get some track time.   Cxpistl Posted on Monday, November 10, 2008 - 04:37 pm:        Hey J, Yeah, I'm in for some track days next year. At least one trip anyway...   C4bird Posted on Monday, November 10, 2008 - 08:33 pm:        I would be up for a track day, but at the rate HDHD is taking to fix my bike, may not have it back till next halloween...   Coturi Posted on Tuesday, November 11, 2008 - 07:31 pm:        Count me out!!! The race track is scary as hell! I can't handle going around corners at 20 mph let alone 100 mph. Maybe if I grow some balls I would be a bit interested, but not now. O.K. Grew some. I'll be there as often as I can. But, at the least two to three time for sure. I'm somewhat waiting to see if there will be any Inside Pass dates at Miller this year. If so, I'll go to those without question.   Bhemph0 Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 11:52 am:        I am interested in another inside pass day for sure.   Lazyj Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 12:10 pm:        im also hoping inside pass is held at MMP, for i will make that an additional excuse to go to MMP...question is...do i have to OWN a Buell.....I know there were plenty of NON buells out there last sept.... and Mike...what is it with you and the "track is scarry" talk lately? i keep thinking maybe its an inside joke or something....but you have me all confused.   Coturi Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 05:54 pm:        J, yes I'm joking. I would live at the track if I could. If there was a closer track I would give up riding on the street, and do track only. And no, you, nor anyone else has to have a Buell to do Inside Pass days. Hell, you don't even have to have a bike for that matter.   Lazyj Posted on Thursday, November 13, 2008 - 11:51 am:        well keep me posted of any inside pass day potential if you hear anything...   Lazyj Posted on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 - 12:05 pm:        I have this coming. Bought it off Ebay for about $150 less than new. Now I just hope the bastards ship the right size. What do you guys think. all the shoei's i have tried on have felt great and have been pretty quiet.........so naturally when i found this blue black and yellow one i couldnt resist it.....since of course my current lid has been dropped about 10 times and is noisy as all hell.   Coturi Posted on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 - 07:23 pm:        Love it. That thing is sessy. Now you'll have to get those wheels powdercoated.   Lazyj Posted on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 10:21 am:        yeah i will most likely get them P-coated... I just have one other piece of gear that i want to buy before doing so though   C4bird Posted on Sunday, December 07, 2008 - 11:29 pm:        Well, still no buell in the garage, but we do have a new little guy.. Very amazing feeling, wouldn't trade him for the world   Coturi Posted on Monday, December 08, 2008 - 12:04 pm:        Nate, that is wonderful, not about the bike though. Details of the special delivery?   Cms1172 Posted on Monday, December 08, 2008 - 12:51 pm:        Hey Nate, congrats on the little guy. Was out at HDHD couple months ago and they had the engine, any idea of the hold up?   C4bird Posted on Monday, December 08, 2008 - 06:39 pm:        Thanks Guys! Just a happy bustling baby boy, His name is Atticus, him and momma are doing great! Engine is in and it is rideable, but they where waiting on a recall kit and another new set of turn signals for the rear... I think I'll give them a call again his week   Lazyj Posted on Tuesday, December 09, 2008 - 03:42 pm:        FYI Guys: time to start planning 2009 Schedule Released APEX Track Days April 11 (Sat) East Track April 25 (Sat) West Track June 1 (Mon) Perimeter (WSBK Event) June 12 (Sat) East Track (Evening 5:30 to 8:30) July 25 (Sat) West Track August 8 (Sat) East Track Sept 7 (Mon) Full Track (Labor Day) October 10 (Sat) West Track   C4bird Posted on Thursday, December 11, 2008 - 02:24 pm:        Finally got the bike back, going out for a shake down ride, hoping all is well!   Cms1172 Posted on Thursday, December 11, 2008 - 02:59 pm:        Bundle up, its cold out there.   Lazyj Posted on Thursday, December 11, 2008 - 03:43 pm:        good luck ...may the Torque be with you   C4bird Posted on Thursday, December 11, 2008 - 08:47 pm:        Well, the ride was nice, but the bike goes back tomorrow. Steering head not tightened correctly, both mirrors are getting the scallop cracking problem so many 1125s had in the beginning, and it appears they scratched up my front wheel... Glad the weather isn't nice.   Coturi Posted on Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 11:14 am:        Jeremy, I'm trying to figure out when I can make it to the track. Still waiting on possible Inside Pass dates. I've got even more motivation now, I just bought a new track weapon. I also picked up an 07 Yami FZ6 with a thousand miles on it yesterday. Not sure if I'll rebuild it or part it out yet though. It would make a killer go cart motor! Nate, this must really suck having all these problems. Hope they get it all right for you, especially now that there's snow on the ground.   C4bird Posted on Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 09:21 pm:        Where did you find that Mike? Fix it up, would be a pretty sweet track bike Yeah, pretty bummed about it. They said they will fix it, just gotta wait and see I guess...   Coturi Posted on Monday, December 15, 2008 - 10:35 am:        Nate, I actually got the fz6 from Craigslist in town. It won't be a track bike, for me anyway. I'll be picking the new track bike up on Wednesday barring a blizzard.   C4bird Posted on Monday, December 15, 2008 - 09:11 pm:        New bike?   Lazyj Posted on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 01:16 pm:        and of course...your still not telling us what your secret weapon is mike...........................mike............... ...mike..............what have you gotten yourself into?   Coturi Posted on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 01:30 pm:        I hopefully haven't got myself into something too bad. The other new bike is nothing that cool, its an 08 R6. It was pretty cheap so I couldn't resist. Sam and I will pick it up in Pasco Wa tomorrow. So J, now that you're an expert in everything R6, I'll need some advice on what to do to the thing. It will be a dedicated track bike.
