Re: TWS May 29th
I knew I had a full tank of gas before I left for the track. I did check it to make sure it was still full when I got back to the pits. Actually the main relay that controls the fuel pump, the blinkers, and apparently the neutral light popped out of the socket under the seat going 110mph down the fr...

Re: TWS May 29th
Stupid phone. When you view it full sized it's right side up. Decent day. Bike broke on lap 3 of the first session. Had to sit on the track for almost 40 minutes waiting to be picked up. Got the bike working again luckily so I was able to finish out the day. Not the best track day I've ever had, but...

Re: TWS May 29th
If you guys want to join me when you get here...I'm setup right behind the classroom. There is plenty of space.

Re: TWS May 29th
I'll be there Sunday night to get setup then. I'm going to try and have my canopy setup as close to the classroom as I can. Hate being rushed in the morning and since I've never been to TWS I'd really like to do the track drive in the morning. Maybe I can catch the tail end of the SCCA races Sunday...

So for those of you that have been to TWS before I'm assuming we can setup the night before like Cresson and Cota?

Re: TWS May 29th
I'm learning as I go. I've had to sand down to primer a few times to fix mistakes. I'm too particular I think. I keep trying to tell myself, "It's just a track bike", but it's not working.

Haven't finished them yet. The tail is painted, but not clear'd. The front fender is mounted and done. The bottom pieces is painted and clear'd. Trying to finish up the upper fairing. PITA... BTW, don't use lacquer based clear on paint before testing it. It can lift certain paints...ask me how I kno...

Nobody has ever given him crap about stupid questions to his face anyway...lol...
I like to get setup the night before because I hate getting up early...but my first trackday I showed up that morning and although I felt a little rushed I got everything done.

Re: Hello!!
I've signed up for the MSRC on Oct. 29. Got a 50% off discount for being a cherry (first time discount code for 10/29 MSRC "6.PR.RSWEB.50.10/29-30/2017"). Free leathers and free boot rental for first timers!! I chose Oct. 29 because I figured by that time the weather will be cooler. The o...

Re: Hello to All!
Welcome to the boards. I started real small (Ninja 250), then to my SV650S, and then now to the VFR 800. I don't regret getting to know any of these bikes. Even a 250 sport bike is a hoot to ride. The SV650S is now my track bike and although I get passed on the straights a lot, I don't get passed in...

Re: COTA July 1st and 2nd
Never seen any codes on COTA either. It is for only one day. COTA quotes $50K per day as a track rental fee on their website. You will never see any discounts for that track.

Optimal Racing fairings on the SV650S. Still need to paint them. This was just the fitment install. *rant on* I was going to get a 600 track bike this year, but somehow the ex-wife f'd that up for me by not paying her portion of the 2013 taxes which was the last time we filed jointly. The IRS took m...

I was going to ask you about that. I noticed the TXSR site up there has had a bunch of rides setup by different folks and hadn't seen you post there in awhile. I did one bike night with them and one ride down here and I wasn't impressed with either event. I'm a member down here, but they gave me cra...
