...but something like a grill, onely one is needed...

Since I don't have a grill - I'll bring my tool box. The real one, not just Frank. LMK if there's special tool requests. I'll stock it for KTM and Ducs.

I still have Brett's "grill" It's a bit banged up and is pretty tiny, but it seemed to get the job done last fall...

I would be too tempted to break it so I would HAVE to buy it!

Slide Panda

So wait, that's the bargain?

I've got a great set of tools! Gimme!

Of course, the loaner contract includes the typical "Owner of vehicle will be compensated at 11ty Billion times the fair market value for any damage to vehicle and for any consumables, including but not limited to tire wear, gas, and oil whether or not purchased or replaced by lessee, during the lease period." ;D

Just me and Chris. We'll probably carpool together.

I found a battery drain on my bike a few days ago that will drain it enough in a few minutes so it won't start. Brand new battery. Grrr. Gotta fix it before track day!

Also, a suit question. How should a one-piece suit fit? Should your voice rise up an octave when you stand suddenly? I've tried on a Astars 36 (tight [squeak], but not bad in riding position, needed help to get it off) and a Dainese 40 (snug but comfy to walk around in, easy in, easy out).

The A* is probably more right, but you might up one size. Also, you had your back protector on right?

Suits are cut for riding, not walking in, not getting in/out of easily. You want as snug as possible without restricting movement or causing distraction. The nut crunch, it happens. It's supposed to be comfy on the bike, not lounge wear. If you're able to just shrug out of the top section without a few shimmies, it's probably too loose.
