Is anyone here going to this on thursday with Jeff Nash?

I'm signed up and have an offer to use Scott's trailer if needed and take others if we go this route.  I'm also game to carpool and load up in someone else's trailer as well and ride with you.

Jacob,
I wish I was doing that trackday, but I can't. Have fun and bring plenty of fuel, a lawn chair, and get there early. Its a long trip from our side of Dallas.

Jacob,

I'll be there, provided I survive my firrst track day on the 19th.

This is tempting, I just don't know if I'm really up for 2 track days 3 days apart.
I'll have to do some thinking on that...
Anyway, looking forward to the 19th  wt:

I might just sign up for this  [moto]

 [thumbsup]

Looks like this one's sold out  :o

Did you get the last slot?

I got the 2" ball waiting for your trailer Scott.   :)  If you won't make this, I'll get with you before next wednesday to schedule when to borrow it if the offer it still open.   [thumbsup]

Not I, said the fly  :(
I might try an Ashok & see if I can weasel in  :-\

Jacob, why not do the 19th with the rest of us!!!! it'll be funner!

i do believe you've just been called a weasel, Ashok...

  My tracksuit won't be here until next Tuesday.

Track day in the nude is NOT an option  [laugh]

what about if your name is Godiva?

Still don't know if I;m gonna make it Thursday.

Who all is signed up for this?

I'm out. No room at the inn.

bummer

How'd it go?

Great day!  A couple guys got off, but nothing serious.  I definately reached the potential of my bike lol.  It was so much fun learning the track and slowly putting together some good laps by the end of the day.  By afternoon I pretty much had my gear selection down for each corner etc, so it was more just trying to ride smooth and consistent.  My weak spot is the entrance to rattlesnake.  I need to trail brake deeper and carry a little more speed into the entry.  I had a few other problem areas early, but Jeff showed me the line, so I seemed to get those smoothed out ok!

I ran off the track twice, but no falls... just used some rear brake and rode it out.  I'm told I need a sbk heh.  Jeff said I really can't get anything else out of my 800.  I rode the snot out of it pretty good.

All I can say is WOW!  Like I told Scott, it was definately the most exciting day I've ever had on a motorcycle.  Being able to push the bike that hard and seeing yourself progress from the first session to the last is such a pleasure.  The day left me with happiness and sadness I suppose.  Happiness knowing that I learned a lot and got better as a rider, and sadness that I've seen the potential of my bike.  Now isn't the time for me to get a sbk with so much on my plate, but hopefully as a present to myself next year after I finish my project!

I also want to thank Scott for being so generous and letting me use his trailer.  I couldn't have done it without you buddy!

Track day = good.   [thumbsup]

We have seen you ride the snot out of it... we believe you! [thumbsup] If you get a SBK we'll never see you on a ride again... you'll be too far down the road! [moto]

Aaaahhh, another addict  [thumbsup] I had that feeling before you went  ;D I just wish I coulda been there to watch...
Maybe once I'm rich & can afford an "R" I can make you a good deal on a slightly used "S" [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Congrats [thumbsup]

That is too cool Jacob [thumbsup]

Great to hear you had a blast out there... I hear the 848 makes a good track bike.   By next year there should be a good number on the used market for track weapons
