    Let's see if I can address all inquiries:

    1. Turn 1a racing...sure. Any name variation of anything existing works for me as long as it's not v-twin specific. Besides...when Gino and Chris get their motards it wouldn't fit then anyway

    2. I like beer and girls in lingerie...I'll be a judge for the acceptance process

    3. Outside sponsors (non m/c related companies) are great if they can support the greater good...i.e. Provide money. The only outside sponsor (that you mentioned) that I'd see be worthwhile to just provide their product would be Magic Hat. (refer to #2). From a selfish perspective, money for entrance fees and tires are really what would be beneficial for me. Since Street and Comp and the normal vendors don't necessarily carry KTM parts, and I've got a great dealer (Cliff's!) that already gives me a nice discount for all my stuff, that's not really in need.

    4. Tire discounts are hot commodities. If we can make it work as a group that would be fantastic. Just for consideration...seeing as how we are all on l/w machines, we already aren't coming to the table with a lot to offer b/c we only buy tires, at most, every other weekend. And my vote goes to DUNLOP. If all the fast guys are running them up to the AMA level and they have the best offering for SM tires and 16.5 in fronts, that pretty much keeps me onboard.

    5. Shirts. If the team is benefit us for group purchases....yup If not...ehhh... :shrug

    I think that covered most of it

    So I take it your not in?


    That wasn't haggling, that was Dan trying to get something for nothing.

    You want an F4i front Mitchell?

    Good stuff here Brian...
    So Tires and Money... What if I found sponsorship with someone that carried all the tires? Money... Well if we group together (like we pretty much do already) we could share resources... equipment and such. we pretty much do this already so I figured the "merger" would be a kinda Formality...

    Shirts I think I can get some made up for like $12 a piece... Maybe more for a Team/ Pit Crew type button up shirt... Maybe a Sponsor would foot the initial run... We could even sell them to our friends/families... Design is not yet determined...

    Me, You, Scott, Hobbs, possibly Chris, Tony and Mitchell, could try to work something if Gino, Matt and Bob wanna stay MABE... We'll just be their development team.

    That JZ riders sounds cool... but is this just for you MABE guys? :bow: That is where your dad works right? you sure they want a Non Harley race team?

    What exactly does a breakout box do? I think you can get something similar at an RV store...

    Thanks for the constructive post Gino,

    I have to get my post count up some how. I thought of it while working on Dan's bike. Especially after I got my AM over achiever tank back.
