Ya. You were moving good on the SV. I gave you a wave on the front straight after we both got checked up by that ZX10R.

Re: What is the dumbest thing you’ve done on a trackday?
I arrived at the track and took the bike in after a few laps of the first session because it was down on power. Get ready for the second session and it won't start, so I jump it. Dies before I get it on track. I'm thinking something's really messed up with my bike. Turned out to be a dead battery cell, even though the battery was less than 1 year old and on a tender most of the winter. Threw away a $250 track day when I could have just bought an $80 battery.

Ah, that was you. Nice to track-meet you!
Yeah, that dude was NOT cooperating. Frustrating.

Not a track day, but I did once ride over to Larz Anderson for the Tutto Italiano get-together on the wrong day.

I'm still lolling over this... Glad you made it to NY tho! :lmao:

Re: What is the dumbest thing you’ve done on a trackday?
Not laughing out loud when a certain guy from RI (who has a customized S1000RR and a Kawi H2 supercharged) told a guy in front him at the Red Roof breakfast area straight faced that he was smooth as Lorenzo, and disappointed in tire quality as his old track bike was a ZX6R and could spin the tire on corner exit on only a 600. I just said to him this is the point when I can't talk to you anymore, when I should have laughed and had chocolate milk come out of my nose.

Last SCCA Track Night was 10/4 at Thompson. Thought sure I’d registered. Get to Thompson, unload car, walk in with tech sheet right at 3:00pm - not on list. Home by 5.....

I took the old dirty bike to Wareham MX (about 1h10m drive) for practice days only to find the track closed because I looked at the wrong day on the calendar.
I did this more than once.

I'm in different leathers now because of all my pudge.
Saw you on track Monday, didn't make the connection that it was you. Could of said hello in person finally!

Ah, I get it now. Just couldn't see him through the thick cloud of his vape.

Re: What is the dumbest thing you’ve done on a trackday?
I don’t really fit in with the GSX-R crowd, being old and slow. Can’t do much about the former.
-
Re: What is the dumbest thing you’ve done on a trackday?
I remember you saying something like that about the Harley crowd. I remember thinking something like it can't possibly be that bad or something.
Then I bought a Harley. You were straight up 110% right. I almost hate myself by extension just for owning the same brand machine. It's astonishing.
Moral here is that I guess I should probably not buy a GSXR. Shame, a GSXR600 looks like a fun track toy.

Re: What is the dumbest thing you’ve done on a trackday?
Track day GSX-R riders are pretty normal. Great choice. Power is amazing.

Dude you gotta get the 1000, they built the 600's for chicks.

Re: What is the dumbest thing you’ve done on a trackday?
Dropped my bike after practice before a race and broke my rear set. Not fixable at the track and I was supposed to do two races that day. Had to fabricate a better replacement when I got home.

Re: What is the dumbest thing you’ve done on a trackday?
I just had my R6 apart for motor maintenance. Cleaned it up like new, put it together in time for a 3 day event at Palmer. Rode well the whole event. Motor was mint. Then, I went out in the last session and threw it at the scenery. Decidedly stupid.
