2012 Season Goals

[BrianC]

- keep passing BrianC
- get back to passing Brett

Jim, launching w/the wrong wave doesn't count as passing

[union]

Lose 20 lbs, figure out the bum shoulder,

Heres my plan



Not so much to lose weight but to keep the legs going. At least 30min a day. I think weight lose will be a side benefit.

Also a 15lb dumbbell to keep the arms going.

Hopefully a new mountain bike in a month or two to ride on the trails out back

[Chippertheripper]

James, pick up that one for sale here. Bryco13's.

[Garandman]

I have a more humble goal.

Restore enough range-of-motion in my left knee to be able to ride a sport bike for a 20 minute track session.

[The Snowman]

Update to my list:

To represent.

Not exactly what Im looking for. I think a single speed would kill me and I want a suspension fork. The rest of it is what Im looking for I think.

1-Have fun
2-Put a stock 600rr in the 17's
3-Make every race weekend

how stock are we talking here. my bike only has suspension, a slip on and power commander and Brembo RCS(plus the normal stuff like clip ons, rear sets, etc that make no difference to lap times) and I've done a 19 and I'm not even that good. I think a good expert on my bike could do 15s easily maybe even lower.

well I have no money, so im only planning on running good pads, bodywork and protective stuff. I do plan to modify the suspension, but only by changing whats in the stock internals. I might add a penske double if I can find one cheap enough because I know the shocks on these bikes aren't good for racing because of the style piston in them. I did 16's on a worse bike so I dont think its that crazy of a goal....

so very similar set up to mine. I think you can do it.

Heres my plan

Hey James~

Please tell me more about that green contraption.... Thnx in advance!

Its the most boring thing you can possibly do on a bicycle !! I cant stand to ride more then 5-10 minutes and because of that mine has more dust on it than you can imagine.

Seriously.. how do guys like Spies and others ride these things daily for 30-60 minutes?? Its like watching paint dry!

Truth.

Want to sell it? I have a coworker who was just asking about them (I bought one last week for the GF).

On Topic: Get a license.

Start a race. Finish a race.

I never said it was fun. With my work schedule and other shit going on its the easiest way to keep the legs going. Eric told me if Im to ride with the fast guys I better be ready to go so I have my motivation.

Now about that motor issue

Set it in front of your TV?

[butcher bergs]

I've found that cutting, moving and splitting your own firewood is a great way to keep in shape! It's been quite a while since I have felt this worn out however I'm getting really toned again and my bum leg is getting the work out that a pedal bike and/ or running simply won't provide. Pedal bike doesn't work the areas that my leg needs and running offers way too much impact.

Scott, if you're bored, come on over and I'll put you to work.

Hucking wood. It's the new work out regimen for today's road racer!

[brady]

Set it in front of your TV?

and watching the huge stack of old motorcycle races I've compulsively recorded to DVD over the years. I'd probably never get to watch them otherwise, and they keep the adrenaline going for the workout.

I still really need to get on my bike/trainer and ride it even if it bores me to death.

[Lucas]

I'd like to get in on some track days and work towards prepping my bike and wallet for racing in 2013.

Scott,

Put it front of the TV, wire up an xbox and play one full race of motogp, including some practice to learn the track and the qualifying session. Start on a 125, do a season, and work up through 250, and GP. One race should have you on the trainer an hour to an hour and a half, and it removes the boredom.

I would pretty much forget I was riding the trainer, and my legs would nearly give out when I finished the race and went to climb off.

[SVRACER01]

Even racing in the rain requires a motor...
