Count Down Untill 2013 Season Kicks Off!

[butcher bergs]

How is racing with those guys? Where do they typically race?

Suffice to say I enjoy it quite a bit as there is much less bullshit to deal with.

Questions get answered. E-mails are replied to. Money gets sent, license arrives in a couple weeks. One transponder used for every race series. No "special race series with special rules". And the best part is--> No unsafe helmet modifications!




WERA Schedule

[Jim]

Bergs, let me know if you do an event at VIR this year.

[CEO]

chris, i use my expired 5 year helmet as a street helmet now.
maybe you should stop selling everything you own & keep a bike for street riding

I already have a street helmet but yeah, the arai is still usable for sure.

And I'm certainly not going to street the motard, so what are you talking about?

[Jim]

Your HyperTard was sweet.

[union]

100% ready now. Bike got tuned and came in at 48.9hp. About where I was expecting and should get me around the track pretty good.

[Kurlon]

Rear end reassembled... putting the muffler back on was a royal PITA. Tomorrow the front end goes back on, at which point it's ready to roll out of the basement for safety wiring, final inspection, fuel system test and a lil vrrrroom vrrRRROOOM. Then I just get to wait for my Cool-Aide to arrive so I can flush the cooling system.

[CBR929RE]

bike is home. I plan to have everything done on thursday with the exception of numbers and stickers. hopefully those will be here early next week even though I asked my buddy for them in February and reminded him a couple weeks ago.

Just renewed my WERA license. It was an experience that many folks 'round these parts wouldn't truly appreciate.

Sent money in. Check was cashed, license came in yesterday. Two whole weeks!!!



All that's left is a water pump rebuild.

anyone can print them up off a computer and have it laminated.

not that the CCS one is hard to make, the machine pops it out in like 2 seconds.

I decided that tonight was a good time to put the bike together. Looks like the cat hid a key nut.. I'll pick one up in town. Should wrap it up tomorrow night and be ready to GO!!! Emma has the camper mostly packed already!! I think she is more excited than I am to get back to the track

9 Days Bitches

[CEO]

Your HyperTard was sweet.

That's true. When i destroyed my wrist playing rugby though I was also about to buy my house and the bike was going to sit there for a year and depreciate and not get ridden... so it made sense to sell it at that time.

[The Snowman]

Finally finished the mechanicals with a clutch plate replacement and an oil/filter change. Just mounting the tank and bodywork & stickering is left. I also still need to safety wiring the front axle/calipers after a wheel swap at the track for practice.

[Mr. Kurtz]

Technically, I could bolt the stock seat on, make some cardboard number plates, and race my SV tomorrow.

Just "sent my bodywork to the painter" today, so I'll hopefully get it back at NJMP this weekend, stick on some decals, and ride it.

[Kurlon]

Suspension on at both ends, couple minor tweaks on a couple things that bugged me, tank and seat on. All that's left is front fairings/belly pan, fuel leak test plus safety wiring.

8 Days Mutha Fucka's!!!!!!!!!!!!

8 Days Mutha Fucka's!!!!!!!!!!!!

possible you could bring my subframe you have had for 2 years now? thanks

[lrrs428]

Forgot about that thing lol ya I will grab it

[PainfullySlow]

GSXR: Gotta shake the bike down after a complete frame swap, get the geometry right, put all the sponsor decals on, fiddle with the tuning on the Bazzaz, and do the safety wiring.

SV: poor girl: gotta swap gas tanks, mount up the new wheels after doing some final mods to the new rear carrier, vinyl wrap the main fairing, new windscreen, replace the seat foam and recover, new chain/sprockets, change fluids, flush brakes, replace front pads, rejet the carbs, some minor fairing repair, put the sponsor decals on, new tires mounted...I know I am forgetting some things but thats the bulk of it.

This is what happens when you live 2500 miles away from your race bikes and the track

Oh, and someone remind me to charge my transponder at some point tuesday :-p

At least I have new leathers, new helmet, and new gloves ready to go. Boots are old and trashed so I am avoiding the asphalt attraction that happens with new gear :-p

[CBR929RE]

slipper clutch went in today.

still have to:
flush coolant
flip radiator cap hose/mount around to run the tube to the new overflow bottle. should I run another tube from the bottle down to the belly pan?
put numbers on when they get here and try to cut out some vinyl
slap on tank grips
install lever guards
make a little fairing bracket. or just get a big spacer to put behind it and a long bolt, probably go this way.

[CBR929RE]

[csmutty]

Dang all you guys are all ready to go...I just got around to getting my throttle bodies and airbox on and drained out the old gas from daytona.

I'm not ready. I need numbers, sponsor stickers otherwise its ready to ride. still gotta drill out the old rivnut for the shark guard and put a new one in and cut some vinyl but that stuff isn't necessary.
