    a lurker that finally got an account

    Hey all, I've been watching this site for a while but figured I'd join so that I could participate in some possible track days/group rides this summer.

    sxlova07 (I *think* that's Terry) was cool enough of a guy to tell me about this site when I bought his black 600rr last summer.

    I figuerd I'd give a shout out. Hopefully this site gets me riding with more people than just coworkers and shiz...

    If you look down, you go down. That may be fun at an orgy, but it sucks on a bike

    Re: a lurker that finally got an account

    just the one last year. I need to do some this summer... I've been looking into getting a monorail trailer and a hitch for my cavalier with my tax refunds. I'd like to get a two rail trailer of somekind so I have more capacity. I did pick up a nice 2-peice A*s rc51 leather suit and some vertigo corsas so I'm set gear wise for the track.

    The 600rr has been treating me great. I figured out why it overheats when you sit too long without moving: since the bike had been down on the left side, there is an aluminum coolant pipe that goes outside of the frame. Upon first look, it looks fine, but there was a tiny dent in it. I replaced it after I had put in a new thermostat, flushed the radiator a few times, etc. with no results and low and behold, that tiny assed little dent kept the bike from running totally cool. A $20 part. I'll be damned. So it's running perfect now.
