[desmoquattro]

Just picked up a Keigwin's day on Wed, 14 May at Infineon. Anyone else (besides Tigre) going? Anyone want to prep bikes together?

Oh, wait...that's right....I'll have that extra hole, and some staples in my back. Darn. maybe next time. ;:| ;:| ;:|

See the track day operator's site for rules, but in general they don't make you safety wire. Coolant is easy to do though.

Glad to see it! Now let's hope they move me up into your group  Think we can influence one of the instructors?

I'm riding for Tigre on Wednesday -- just a regular man.  I might not even wear instructor leathers.

Not a regular man...an AMA racer  wt:

You dudes have fun. I'm super jealous. I'll be  working.

I've cleared the schedule for Wednesday just to see the Bumblebee sting the track!

Regular man?  One that refers to himself in the third person!

Oh, wait... I forgot... Metamucel is now a co-sponsor of Tigerbike Racing. So I guess he is a "regular" man after all.

Good day out with Wendy, Michael Moore, Tigre, BikerGoddess, and special guest star/mechanic duckwrench13. We rolled in early because of the schedule (had to clear out by 3:30 to let the AMA teams set up), and blocked off a good amount of space in the hot pits for the canopies and vehicles. I was in B-, which for me was fine since I hadn't ridden Sears in over a year. The first few sessions were fun...especially passing 1098's and litrebikes  Then Tigre graciously towed me around the track for a few laps before coming in. I learned some new lines and improved, despite a few oh-shit moments.

A very good time. Many thanks to all who came out and made it fun...the Bumblebee Returns!

Oh, and I know...This thread is useless without pics. But I didn't fork over the money for the DVD. Call me cheap  [moto]

Good to hear you enjoy track day also everyone were there , boo boo free is good day  for track and special pick and learn new line , I am jealozzzy 

[Michael Moore]

If it makes you feel any better Danny, it really was a hot pit.

During the next to last session I realized I was getting brain fry and was going slower and slower, so I packed it in early. But the morning was great.
