Me (again) Long Long way to touch down.........it will never happen  *sigh*


And then there's this 11 year old....on an 80cc gp special...(little punk was blistering fast!)

[Lorenzo]

I dont get it, Paul your on the Aprilia? Do you own that bike? Im confused...

[Gone Ape]

While you're away, the mice will play!!!

Yeah, sold the S2r and stepped up to the Tuono R....I couldn't justify spending the needed cash for upgrades to the 800 and I just could not convince myself to go S4R (translation dUCATI aUstIn), and oh yeah, I was in the Exact Right Spot at the Exact Right Time and picked up the Ape from dealer's extrordinaire AF-1 in New Braunfels.....

P.S. when we going riding?

[Lorenzo]

no kiddin, thats great. Did you get a good trade in for that leather boot radiator mod?? How you like the new bike, different feel? I guess that makes me wonder what youll do with all your Ducati riding swag?

Lets get out soon.

[Pedro-bot]

Lookin' SHARP!! 

Is it me or are the pegs on that Aprilia up and further back than on the Monster? How's it feel?

[Gone Ape]

Lorenzo, I actually bought the Tuono before I sold the S2R....wifey said one MUST go...it wasn't a hard decision based on where I mentally needed to go.........

Chill, the pegs are up higher and a bit farther back......After riding 2Card's "Cadillac" and TxDuc's "Bark-O-Lounger" this is kinda cramped.....I noticed 2Card was uncomfortable after 10 min of riding my bike!   

Think 848 without the handlebar forward lean.....it really fits me as I'm short armed and short legged even though I'm 5'10"..............go figure...but I have been kickin around adding maybe a RSVR top triple and clipons...

Excellent photowork.  Is it just me or does that pic of the 11-yr old looks like he has a giant head photoshopped onto his body?   


Dude, don't worry about dragging the knee.  That's pretty good form.    And you got some lean angle too!


This is a pretty cool pic too.

[ivobivo]

That does it. I'm going to the next one.

[Gone Ape]

Ivo, no excuses next time!!!!  Let the rain pour in through the roof, let the lawn go unwatered, who cares if the foundation falls off the house....get our there!!


Frank, thank you....coming from you *sniff* well, *sniff* it means everything to me *sniff*


That kid was waxing everyone on the track even the "big"boyz"... and dude is a little guy.......I can't remember his name, but it'll be interesting to see if this kid moves on to AMA  --- and yeah his head/helmet combo there is pretty close to actual size!!  (?)


As per above 1098, some of us have "it"....some of us clearly, uh, don't.....

[ducky]

Ouch! Sorry man.  That looks pretty expensive to put back together.

Glad to have y'all out there.  Oh, and you don't need to *pirate* anything from Mike's site - the pictures are just an added bonus to coming out.  In fact, if you want your hi-res copies email him and let him know the file names... he will send them back to you. 

Brandon is *the kid*.  He is the junior racer that I sponsor.  He had his very first write up... it's in this month's issue of RoadRacing World (September 2008).  It is a HALF page.  VERY proud of him, and hope he keeps it up.



Hope to see more of you out at the track.

Can we get some feedback on the track & facilities?
