94 DAYS UNTILL 2015 LRRS RACE SEASON!!!!!

[lrrs428]

Ok 10 days !!!! this coming weekend is it for weakened days left to get your shit ready. Mine will be spent getting the scooter running and packing the essentials back into the trailer

[carsick]

Hmm. I left my trailer somewhere over by the spruce trees. Might need a skidder to get it free. My program seems to have some shortcomings here.

[burnham]

What did you get? Forman?

Lead lineman.

[Jason P.]

ahh man Penguin school next Friday - is it really almost time?!

[loudbeard]

Well I'm running into all kinds of problems getting my CBR ready. I got new bodywork for this year and the belly pant doesn't fit because my subframe is a bit smushed, forcing the exhaust to hang below my oil pan. Belly pan won't go all the way up. Its actually just the crossover pipe before the last Y pipe.


I think I'm going to just take it to Lou's and have them cut it out and patch it, I'm not setup to weld stainless.

Decided to go ahead and change the throttle cables and clutch cable since they all look fairly shagged. I'd rather do it now than have one snap on a race weekend. Turns out the throttle cables are one hell of a job. Need to remove the throttle bodies to access it and the book has it as a 3 hour job...I'm about 4 hours in and haven't got the throttle bodies off yet

Should have started a month ago...panic indeed.

Rather than screw with your exhaust, which in turn screws with performance, why not just cut and patch the bodywork?

[loudbeard]

Its not just a small cut and patch, more like the crossover is hanging almost 2" low. Did consider that though.

Ultimately this probably ends with me dropping $700 on a new Akra system for a 10 year old race bike.

Don't worry. They are just as hard to get back on...

[tsorfas]

Is anyone who needs numbers. I have a complete series of gothic style black numbers that exclude 5 0 8 and can bring to round 1. Fo freezle

I could use that. Not sure about the Gothic though. Sounds kinda emo. Are these 6" numbers?

yup.. same exact style i have on my SV. they are 100% legal. its these:

[carsick]

Will take with all due gratitude. Thanks Sav! Will also pass on sloppy thirds to any rookies.*edit- eh, I guess they'll have to wait until they bump. I forgot about red numbers!

Dude, aren't you going to VIR in a couple days? Lol

9 Days Left

[timmyho414]

I pushed the bike out of the living room yesterday and drained to green stuff out. Turns out I didn't need to snow blow a path for it after all.

[nhbubba]

Registered.

Decided I need to replace the fuel lines and balance the carbs.

[Petorius]

Maybe today I'll pull the bike out. I sure hope it runs...

I really need to find some rains too

[GingahNinjah]

[Mr. Kurtz]

mkurtz@gomtag.com order rains...

It's actually MIKE@gomtag.com , but I like where your head's at.

[Petorius]

I've Decided to Dabble with the Darkside to start the season. I'm sure I will be back on Pirellis soon enough.

I'm broke, and I had a trade opportunity for some Dunlops. I'm also curious if I have enough "feel" to even notice differences yet.

[Jason P.]

Ahhhh crap - must fill in with work on saturday for being short staffed - there goes one full day of prep.

I guess I will have to cram it all in before he Argentina GP. Also was able to safety wire both exhaust nuts on the two most outside exhaust ports. Wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be - safety wiring the two together - that's a different story. Haha.

[lrrs428]

Dunlops have been great for me and what size rains are you looking for ?

120/160 (165 for Dunlops I think). Shoot me a PM if you've got the goods and are looking to sell.
