Great track day guys :grin: , glad to see all the members make out in one piece, and also having a good time. Kegan, good job today in level 2, I think you are looking pretty good on all aspects, so teaching level 1 should not be a problem. Thank you all that came out and supported the club, and thank you Blinkers wife for the delicious lunch. See ya all at bike nite. :smile:

That was a blast, as always. Didn't push it too hard, just went out and had a bunch of fun. It was good to see everyone there, and thanks Mike for routing the ride back through Cresson. Hope you guys out there today have just as much fun.

PS I'm still claiming I outrode my instructor into crashing :-)

It was pretty good. I ended up instructing Level 2 on Saturday until the last few sessions. I didn't get a chance to get the practice in on Sunday like I intended, but other than that it was a good day. A little bit windy, but the breeze was appreciated after getting off the bike!

Why didn't you get a chance to ride on Sunday? Were you still not feeling better?

Other than it being hot as hell, Sunday was great and it was my first day in level 2. I think I'm a fast level 1 / slow level 2 rider. The instructors did a good job going over the track lines which made the track feel completely different than before. It was also my first trackday with the 10R since I bought it and it absolutely railed. I think she (the bike) knows that she is so much better than me, yet she loves me and is patient with me. Yes....we bonded yesterday.
Ima grip and sip.

Glad to hear you had a good time! With practice comes speed, just take it easy and it'll come :-)

Saturday I wasn't feeling all that great, and I came home to our A/C dead. Turns out our compressor is siezed (Just over 1yr old part). So on Sunday Joe and I spent some time picking up and installing a window A/C unit and started getting the house cooler. Looks like it's going to be an expensive replacement :-o

Doesn't look like there will be a lot of track days for me in the near future :(

No warranty?
The meaning of life is good sex and a fast motorcycle. I would combine the two, but I would end up wheelie-ing the girl and spooging on my bike.

Warranty expired in February. We've had nothing but problems with this system... never go with an Amana, ever. They've replaced the inside coils twice, the outside unit once (under warranty), now the outside unit that is just over a year old is kaput. Not to mention other little bits and peices here and there. I've logged 14 service calls in the last 4 years.

We're getting a full Trane system installed next week. I will never own a home with an Amana system in it ever again.
