    Newbie from Beantown ;)

    Hiya everybody! Got word of this site from a friend on SBN and I'm glad to join up with a site that's more local. I've been riding for 7 years and I just started vintage racing last season with the USCRA up at Loudon. Needless to say I've got tons to learn!! I'd like to hear from any of you LRRS racers because I'm thinking I'd like to put the SV on the track one day- shoot me a PM or I'll find you haha. Thanks for reading

    Jro

    do you ride around BU/BC? A week or so I broke my neck double taking a girl on a silver sv

    If you see an overheating rider in all black gear on a black/silver 600rr riding around in the city, it's probably my dumb ass!

    I'm in roslindale, pretty far out but still technically considered Boston Somerville rocks though, I have a ton of friends living there. My job is actually outside the city so it would just be too much of a hassle living there. oh- and my bike has been "under maintenance" since I tried to start it two weeks ago so it wasn't me you saw Flintoid.

    what's up with your bike?
    well to be honest, I've had it for 4 years now and last summer things started going. I was stuck in that miserable Boston rush hour traffic, heat of the summer, and the bike kept stalling. Come to realize the air fan sensor wasn't tripping the fan, so the bike was getting real grumpy and overheating. Right- ok, so I bring that to the shop and get it fixed. 2 weeks later bf brings it home for me (the shop is on the way from work for him, so he picked it up for me) runs great now, we go out to run some errands in the car and come home to find the bike on its side in the driveway fresh dent in the tank (I bought it used with one already on it) and the shifter peg is snapped off. I don't have the tools to work on it (probably not the know how either), so next race date dad puts her on the trailer and brings her home to CT to work on it. For a christmas gift, he brings the tank to a shop to have dents pulled and repaint (yay!! so pretty 3 weeks ago we put the tank on, start the bike, she idles for a few minutes and dies. and won't start again. we discover rust or some sort of nasty red sediment in the tank, and its gummed up the carbs and my poor SV is still frigging broken!! My dad cleaned up the carbs for me and I'm going home to get her *finally* this weekend. LOL....does that answer your question??

    yea I'll be all bundled up making the ride from CT back up to Boston on Sunday...that first ride of the season is always killer. 3 hours of 95 really ain't that much fun....but it beats the hell out of not riding at all!
