I just realized after reading the Cycle World I just got in the mail that the Josh whom my buddy is roomates with is THE Josh that rides for Erion Honda out of Cali. Josh lives in Gulfport, MS. I always heard around work that this guy was an awesome rider but always thought they were just talking about some guy that was big into track days, not a three time AMA Superbike Champ. There aren't any tracks close by so I never put the two together. | ||

come on down south of baton rouge for a close track day at No Problem Raceway. tigertrackdays.com bringing your buddy and his roommate will grant you royalty status i am sure. we have some participants from Mississippi and have a great time. not many Buells, though. ride safe, tim | ||

I have wanted to get over to NP for awhile. I am a big drag race fan and I'm working on a pro-touring 70 Plymouth 'Cuda that is a serious corner carver. I have been down to Belle Chase Naval Air Station but the course looked like a 50 year old crack whorze face, BuStEd!!! I'm right off I-10 but NP is still about 2 hours away. I would love to get involved in doing track days when I get back to the real world, (deployed), and would love to see Josh Hayes ride in person. | ||

Oh yeah, I will be dropping my order on a new 09 'bolt in July probably and get back a month later; so will I have to do anything to do the track day at NP? Just show up with proper gear? | ||

Ummm...Josh Hayes is married. Does your buddy live in his basement or something? | ||
| Cudajohn |
I think he actually lives in a upstairs apartment of the garage or has lived with him sometime in the past as a roomate. If you know him, do you know Petie Welsh? I'm in the same Battalion as Pete. I looked at your profile hoping you were close too, always cool to have Buellers on the Gulf Coast, but I know Pete has traveled with him to at least Daytona. | ||

No, I don't know Josh, but he is one of my favorite racers. Just remembered that I read in Road RacerX that he got married last year. The AMA will be racing in Atlanta August 29-31. When you get back and pick up your Firebolt, you need to go check out the Superbike weekend there. | ||

Me an Pete got to the Battalion about the same time almost 5 years ago. Every ten months we leave for six and I know that he's lived with him in that period of time. I hang out with a different crowd so don't really know them but now I have a reason to be cordial, free pit passes???? lol That ATL trip would be cool. Could see a Braves game too. It would be one of the first weekends back though. | ||

john, prep is minimum on the Buell. tape up the lights, remove mirrors, tape up or remove signals and taillight. i recommend bringing the bike in a truck bed or trailer just in case, but a few ride to the track and then ride home. rules are on tigertrackdays.com come home safe and thanks for your service to the country. the ATL superbike race weekend is a lot of fun but this year i am going to the Moto GP in Indianapolis instead. sep12-15th? take care, tim | ||

John, Let me know if you ever want to get together for a ride. I'm right down the road in Mobile. That track is about the same distance from me as Barber, but it looks like they have more track days for less money. Damn, I should have never traded my truck. | ||

I once upon a time had the perfect truck..... It was a 94 Chevy Z71 I got for $1000. My wife made me trade it in for a family car. I got $2500 for it but it was soo much more practical. Tell you what, Curtis, you buy the truck, I'll buy a small MC trailer and you swing by and pick me up and I'll slit the gas with you! LOL Hey, I'm right off 10, it'd be on your way! |
