Re: Ethanol Free gasoline

I do this every time, but sometimes I forget. Then I go to start the dirtbike/quad/chainsaw/RC30 and realise ... &^!)@(#*$&
then I have to strip the carb/s again. I'm considering getting race gas delivered

Ethanol Free gasoline

I dont know about anyone else, but I'm sick of having to worry about ethanol gumming up the carbs on my dirtbikes and race bikes that often sit for months at a time. On NPR today someone mentioned http://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=TX

Re: My Signature...

When I was a student it was never mentioned. But the religion issue was raised immediately after the head coach told me I passed my tryout. He told me not to worry. His exact words were; "its not as bad as people say". A few days later I got my training material in the mail and the first t...

Re: My Signature...

So I mentioned that I'm no longer under contract to CSS to a few people, and wouldnt you know I'm now scheduled to teach at the BMW RR fest at COTA later this month. And if things go well, it might turn into a regular gig!

Re: My Signature...

L.Ron Hubbard wrote some textbooks on psychology and 'how to learn' and the school uses them as required reading. Keith Code is a long term scientology member, most of the senior coaches are too. Rumor has it that you cant progress in the school unless you join the church. No thanks. I'm not drinkin...

In case anyone was wondering, my contract with California Superbike School is up. The training was incredible, I learned a lot. Not just about riding but about coaching and psychology as well. I memorized the curriculum and its locked in my brain now. But I also learned a few things I didn't like. S...

Re: What do you like/not like about your current ride.

I did some touring on a zx-14 this year and really enjoyed it. I was expecting a barge but it was very nimble considering its enormous girth.

Is there a solution to this issue? It kinda kills the sporting abilities of a 'sport' bike

This looks like a lot of fun, and a lot like the outriggers that are used for parking lot practise at CSS in level 4.

Re: What do you like/not like about your current ride.

This is an awesome question. My primary ride is the aprilia. This beast is nimble, agile and powerful and sublimely controllable, predictable to the point of complacency. I love the fact that it makes me feel invincible on the track. I know that it can brake harder, corner harder and accelerate hard...

Re: didnt want to hijack polo's job search thread

Now no one at the company is taking my calls, or returning them. Emails are all being ignored. The 'friend' who got me the initial interview is also dodging me despite his earlier request for private dirt and track rider coaching. I get the distinct impression that he's embarrassed about this whole ...

Re: didnt want to hijack polo's job search thread

But my question is - why ask me to apply? They had my resume, they knew my experience. Why put me through all those interviews and say no thanks? It was a monumental waste of my time and theirs. It was insulting and demeaning and depressing.
