Track Day October 4th

[Cloner]

Just thought I'd drop a line to encourage all of you HDHs to register for the trackday at Sandia on October 4th, as I have.  Tickets can be bought at Sandia BMW for $75.....of if you're too proud to walk into a BMW dealership you can buy online at the SMRI website for $95.  I felt the $20 discount made it worth my time to walk into the Beemer joint.

Also, just FYI, the BMW folks will have the unveiling of the new S1000 RR on Saturday, October 3rd at their dealership, with refreshments from 3 until 6.  They will also have it out on the track on the 4th so you can see it in action....if you come.

that sounds like, fun...i think my pround ass can walk over and do that....

but i have never done a track day so i will need some help fo sho to get the bike preped and ready...

is it a full day or half day for that much?

[Cloner]

It's a full day, and the prep isn't difficult compared to other tracks I've ridden on.  According to the SMRI website, all we'll have to do to our bikes is tape or remove the lights and turn signals, tape the glass instrument panel lenses, and remove the license plate.  You also have to have a one piece riding suit, or a two-piece that zips together, a Snell/DOT/or EU reg. conforming helmet, and some boots and gloves.

You can read all of their requirements, including gear requirements, at http://www.smri-racing.org/docs/trackdayguidelines.pdf, or get other track day information at http://www.smri-racing.org/trackdays.php

The BMW folks are serving lunch, coffee, and espresso during the event, so you don't have to bring any of that.

I'll bring a pop-up canopy and a chair or two, an air tank (to air up your tires if they're low), a tire pressure gauge, a few hand tools, sunblock, a cooler with water and Gatorade, a 5 gallon fuel can, chain lube, brake fluid, motor oil, and a poster of Giuliano Maoggi in the '56 Motogiro D'Italia on a Ducati 125 Gran Sport for inspiration.

Have I forgotten anything?

A blow up doll for the car pool lane.

Damnit....I knew I'd miss something.  Thanks for thinking of the important stuff, Kingbaby.  Can I borrow yours?  Wait.  On second thought, I think I'll purchase a "virgin" one.

Don't worry Cloner, he has no use for it anymore.  Besides we gave her a bath.

Cool.....I wasn't going to kiss her, anyway, but it's good to know she won't stink.

OK.  Now that I have the blowup doll for the car pool lane covered, do I now have everything?

Someone to take pictures and videos of the memorable event?

I'll just leave this thread jack alone.  I could get in SOOOO much trouble commenting here.

Well   . . .   it's just that when Cloner mentioned about borrowing KBs blow up doll, at first I thought he shouldn't think of you that way.  But then I realized he talking about an actual blowup doll and then thought    After all this time and that is still there and YOU helped clean her up   . . .   and   . . .   and   . . .    I   . . .   I   . . .  I'm so confused. 

[dusty]

Doesn't look like you are confused at all.

Cloner raises hand.....obviously.

I know that Steve from MotoAuthority is coming....and I think I remember Kris saying he's coming out.

Should be fun!!
