Ducxl (if you were asking seriously), thats Eboos on the tuber)... Erik, sweet pic! Did you purchase a high-res version? Gotta frame that puppy.
Bah! Busy with work I missed out on the June 2/3 dates for my reschedule. Snagged July 16 instead. |

I think I am going to buy this pic. I would like to get other shots from different angles. I am going to use it for promotional stuff later down the line. The tail does look cool though, doesn't it?
I haven't commited to another trackday yet. I asked Tony for a refund for the time being since I need to free up some cash right now. My next race is May 11th. |

My next race is May 11th.
I may join you then. So tell me something.....
I am doing the Penguin on the 9th and I'm guessing that I will have a license to race after that class, Am I right? So I will be able to race anytime after that as long as my bike is prepped? |

Friday, May 9th - you take the course.
Saturday, May 10th - you have to complete the Rookie race. NV Lightweight supersport runs on saturday.
Sunday, May 11th - Race 7 is NV Thunderbike. Race 13 is NV lightweight superbike.
There are other classes that your bike will fit into, but the sunday races are the ones that I am doing.
You have to have your bike prepped before entering your rookie race. CCS will mail you your real license, you will get a temporary one on Saturday when you register for your races. You will need to pay track entry fee, license fee and race fees, so plan ahead for spending about $300 for this crap. You will also need to get your number plates mounted and everything wired before going through tech in the morning. I was pitted with Danny last year, and I missed both morning practices just getting my bike ready even though it was mostly ready to begin with.
Greg, the tail is from Airtech. I made an agreement with them in order to get a discount, but I ordered a fairing too, and I could not get it to fit at all so I dumped it. |

The Barn is a restaurant in, I think, Little Compton, RI. We meet there for breakfast before riding sometimes. |

It's a lot of fun meeting up there... They've got a pretty high-rent clientele, and then a bunch of us idiots show up on noisy bikes swearing like sailors.
The Barn
And the hostess is a total cougar, right Danny? |

Things are going well for me...bike if fine...schedule sucks.
Have a funeral and a wedding this weekend and just got busted down to full time QC inspector at work...my inspectors Dad just died on Tuesday and he is headed out of the country for at least 6 months...
Don't know when I'll find much time to do what I WANT to be doing...
Eric - no problem on the trailer...sorry you had tire problems...it must have just blown when you got there...I've checked them over multiple times...and haven't had a problem with them yet...but yeah...a spare would be in order. |

Stupid frackin' weather-- Wunderground is showing a 60% chance of showers for Sunday, but Saturday looks like a winner. Shall we move the ride to Saturday? |

Switch to Saturday?.....I can.can youze?
I did an awesome loop with the Damnut last night.Kept lofting the front tire exiting corners I can see now how,this would be more fun at the track ..But i'd bet that,at the end of a day at the track you'd be VERY fatigued |

Sounds good to me. Tripp, you working or riding tomorrow? |
Damnut

Tripp is not working at the bike shop, he'll be installing pools.
If it's going to rain then I'm not going to take out the 1125. No need to take an unfamiliar bike out in the rain. |

What do you mean? IF you ARE going to crash a bike,(especially one you may consider buying) Better to crash someone else's! A dealerships would be my choice! Then you can see how well it will hold up.
Hey Tripp Can I test ride the 1125R this week in the rain? I am curious how well they handle....In the rain. |

Seems like too many obstacles to the Barn tomorrow.
I'll make it to Precision if that happens. |

Just though i'd introduce myself. Jim Gongoleski. I live in Blackstone, Ma. I'm a 35 year old tech working at Tasca Ford in Cranston, ri. I've been riding bikes since I was a kid. Both on and off road. I currently have a 2005 xb9sx that i've done a little bit of stuff to. I thought it would be cool to maybe hook up with some local riders to hang with. |
