Non-Monster Trackbikes all spruced up

Looks nicer than mine. 

A not-to-be-named DMF'er had the nerve to walk up and ask "are those your 'practice plastics'?".  Grrrr....   

Tee hee.  Mah bad.  If I had as many track miles as you, I guarantee you my bike would look worse.

Now let's cross our fingers that the new paint doesn't attract asphalt.   

I never had good luck with that. Everytime i painted or fixed previous damage, i hit the dirt. So i just stopped.

Looks good

That is real pretty! I dig the black icon/logo/thingy too

Survived the track day with only bugs and leather touching the new paint.  Phwew. 

But we didn't get off that easy.  During the first session, the belle's rear sproket nuts decided to back out, even though I torqued them to spec (yet another reason why I think torque specs are BS), and several folks as well as the manual said locktite was not necesary.  The nut ground a deep circle into her swingarm around the axle as it backed out, so the bike was retired after one session.  Bummer, but we're happy there wasn't a major failure.  From now on, locktite goes on those nuts (no jokes pleeze).  The belle rode my bike and moved to B-, so the day wasn't lost for her, and I got to start each session with hot tires, which was pretty cool.
