Freak Out, but not down...

[MotoFreak]

I was gonna say "Down and Out", but that might have given some people the wrong impression.
Figured some people might be mildly interested in the state of my affairs with the race bike.

1) After getting everything ready for the first weekend, and then dealing with the resulting issues, I have not touched the bike since getting it back in the "garage".
2) My Landlord (aka Mom) will be PISSED if I spend my rent money on getting the bike fixed/race expenses in time for this up-coming weekend.
3) I've already slacked for two weeks, Im not gonna bust my ass to get the old girl up and running.
4) The priorities of life that I have been ignoring should be attended to.

Maybe I should have followed someone's advice and just stuck to track days...of course, that will all change when I actually grid up and throw down for an actual race.


I did want to give a late thank you to those who helped me out with almost getting to the afternoon practice on Friday the last race weekend!
Most notably Trouble, who has really been the go to guy for everything not just for me, though he does get a lot of phone calls from me!
PK and Degsy for the preliminary diagnosis.
FireBolyEric and CEO. Eric, for letting me take the CBR out for a few laps...So awesome man, thanks. And Chris for the offer to use the R6 in my rookie race...would have been awesome.
And to Heath, Doc, Q, Scott, Nate, MotoFab, and Big Rick.
Better late than never.
Wish I was going to be there this round cheering for you guys! Be safe, go fast, and have fun!

Classy bro. Club racing is for FUN.

The track will be there ready for you when you get ready for it. I'm sorry to hear that you won't be out there this coming weekend but there will be more to come. Take your time, get you bike straightened out to the point that you are comfortable with it, and then recommit. Good call in not pushing it IMHO. I'm here if you need a hand when you do go tearing into it. You know my number.

[Doc]

umm... Call me.

Awwww, Shucks..You'll be missed Bro!

To be honest, I was ready to offer my SV. Unfortunately, it won't be ready for this coming weekend. Still needs the chain done ( Eric Boos & I are going to hook up on that this week sometime.), oil and filter need to be changed, general maintenance done, and completely rewired (safety wire).

I've been dragging my ass on this, since I didn't need it until mid-June.

Bill is the MAN. He'd do anything for anyone at the track.

If you don't know him yet, make sure you introduce yourself.

We are talking about the same Bill here?

Should have bought a Honda Bill....

[Pittenger5]

Your mom charges you rent?

[MotoFreak]

Thanks for the words guys. I'll miss it too, but, as Trouble said. The track will be there waiting. Thanks for the offers and support as well. All I really need is a little boost to get going on the bike, and I should be ready for the end of the month

To be honest, I was ready to offer my SV...

Thanks Chuck! That would have been awesome! I don't know how I'm the man though...all I did was execute a perfect front flip off a little Hawk this one time.

Ha! No comment...

Your mom charges you rent?

I don't live in the basement, Dolla...
