We sound like such a bunch of pansies with our lattes and full meals...real motorcyclists would live off of Slim Jim's and Gatorade for the weekend.

18 months of living off MREs, Slim Jim's and Gatorade.... I'm perfectly fine being one of the "pansies" now.

Now the Norwegian rations, those were some fine vittles! Mmm, mmm..... freeze dried fish paste, now that's high class grub!

Hey ya pansy...   are you out at the track with him now?  I think that Wendy (Ducky) and Desmoquattro are there with him doing their own trackdays.  Can you guys report back to us to let us know how he's doing on times n stuff?  Friday is qualifying, correct?  If you do this for me I'll make sure you get nothing but the finest MRE's the gub'ment can offer.

Got a call earlier this morning, and he said he was turning 1:46's in fairly dense traffic. I'm on my way up in a few minutes, and we'll be swapping out to taller final gearing...trying to keep it pulling in each gear just a tad more before red lining. Might be able to squeeze a tenth of a second here and there around the track that way. I think 1:45 is the magic number for today. If we can consistently hit :45's, then we stand a solid chance at getting Steve on the AMA FX grid!

Dan - would you care to tell people how to find you?  Is the RV going to be near Tigre's tent or parked somewhere else because it's "hot pit territory"? Can anyone with a regular AMA ticket just pop in there?

Don't know yet, but my dad should be getting there about now. Look for the ginoumous ebaymotors canopy. Ill post location later tonight when i get there, or dan can in a little bit.

Anybody stopping by just pop on in say your from the DMF were a friendly group.

[TCK!]

So are bikes allowed to ride through the pits and such like in AFM? Or we have sanctioned parking elsewhere?

[enzo]

In my experience with AMA events, you'll get shuffled up the hill unless you have a pass of some sort.  I think they'll let Ducati's go through the pits since they park together by the hospitality tent, which is usually at the far end of the grandstand.

grazie mille amico ... without cafe, the day is not worth living!

I just heard from Desmoquattro that il Tigre was having an awesome day - however had a little high-sided. RATS!

Steve is ok but hurt his hand. They're going to X-ray and see if anything is broken.
I understand he may still be in this if nothing on him is broken.
The bike I have heard is pretty ok. They just have to find some small bits like break levers.


Sending chill vibes, and heal fast vibes

I'm coming up with Frances, we'll do a Costco run before heading up on Saturday morning.  I'll bring beer (is that okay to do?), cocktail shrimp platter, chips and dip, brats and buns.  Let me know if you need anything else!  Looking forward! 

[desmoquattro]

Just picked up parts for Steve. The hand is feeling better, and they're putting the bike back together tonight. We'll see how our boy feels in the morning.

Yikes, scary stuff!  Please keep us posted.

Was at Sears with MM, Tigre, Desmo.  I don't know where Tigre gets his energy in that heat, with ace bandage and ice pack wrapped around his left hand -- we were moving his stuff to DTM Dad's RV area and he was moving stuff too.  Nothing is going to stop him from racing

[DanTheMan]

we should be ready to rock in the morning pending one shipment. Till then time for
