DT "say anything" thread

heard they did a trackday thing on MCBH, for active boys only, this past weekend.

and if we're lucky, they may supposedly consider opening it to DoD

California Superbike School came to Oahu?

WTF???

lame ass marines have all the fun. 

Originally it was Marines only, but later opened up to all branches due to many open slots.
And it wasn't strictly military, as I know of at least one civvy that attended. 

[DRKWNG]

I take it no word on whether or not they intend on coming back?

I bet the school was put on because the Marines are hoping to stem their rising fatality rate from motorcycling accidents. Hopefully some people learned more than they would at MSF. Not putting MSF down here but their course may not have the same impact on young impressionable brains as Code's school does.

And why must you discriminate against middle aged  and  addled minds?

it kind of ties in w/the new certs they have for riding.  you're required to take the ERC or "sportbike riders course" every three years, which pretty much coincides w/your tags. no class=no riding on post.

as rad as a track school down here is (and I am SO signing up if they offer to DoD), I can't help but think that now some of the riders will feel justified in riding aggressively after this.

"oh, it's fine. I know what I'm doing, now."


:edit:
of course... if they stay down here permanantly, and do this like once a month, then I'm selling the benz and buying a truck

Hey! The only middle aged addled minded one in this group is me! The rest of you just be smart assed youngin's.

I know exactly what you mean. "I'm good to go. I've been trained"

You might only help the ignorant ones. There's usually no hope for the dumb ones. You have to pick your time & place wisely.

It's ironic in a way that they would do the school on an airstrip. Better than no track at all but still.........

I'm guessin' they had cones, autocross stylee 

speakin' of which... I wonder if they'd let you into autocross on a motard?

I asked the local chapter of the SCCA this question when at one of the autocross events at the stadium.  They looked at me like I was from Mars.  No  for them!!

[eltristo]

So i hear.  He said he was working with Sgt Upton.  I giggled at the silly professionalism.

[DRKWNG]

I giggled.

Like a half-drunk underaged school girl?
