yea there are.

it's amazing we never (seriously) say that the lightweight guys don't have the balls, cash flow, or skill to ride middleweight, yet they bash the mw guys like they have an ego problem and rely on the bikes power, not riding ability. BOGUS.

It's what you want to have fun on... I haven't crashed out of a race yet, showed up to the track with 0 track days, and got my license. dropped into the 18's in my first season, and got into some white plates my 2nd season. You guys should realize that you're not rossi because you're running at the top of the little bikes, and there's few of you guys who would pick up a 600 and run in the top of that class. they are 2 different animals, with 2 different sets of pros and cons. It takes a natural ability for somebody to jump on any bike and be the best.

I do agree with their argument....I mean, I've cartwheeled out of most corners at NHMS and it was definitely a STEEP and expensive learning curve. But it has also been some of the most fun and rewarding times of my life

Either way, racing is racing and its always fun....but the MW class isn't THAT bad.

[QuarterGig]

and some of us fight to survive because we don't have the natural ability that is appears you do.. thus we try to steer people in the direction that teaches us best or we think teaches us best.. i am starting on a 600 and have had a hell of a time.. i am hoping though $$ has become tight to beable to switch to a LW so i can learn better..

[catahoulabuldog]

Well... I have the bike basically secured... But it's not the 600. Keith's 600 is staying right where it is. It would make one hell of a track day bike, but I'm well past the age where I want to re-learn survival skills. If I just wanted to do some track days, I would just keep the 750. I just wanna learn to race and have some fun.


I'm going with the Sv.



All the advise is much appreciated...

See I told you guys I did my job... I talked him into the SV for racing.. So, that means..... Ill be on the grid this year with the 600 for sure. Just need to finish that rookie race.

I also have my eyes out for an SV so if anyones got one for sale......

I'm hoping I don't have too many of those! - almost got tangled bad my first weekend as expert behind jamie and carter in some T1 mess.

i like kitt's story. it makes me feel better, since i'll probably be doing the same thing

dunno what bike you'll be on - but I started on an '03 gsxr (same as yours)

[OreoGaborio]

You'll find that the only people hating on the MW class are the ones not riding in it[/QUOTE]
that statement is actually more accurate of the LW 'haters'... at least some of those MW 'haters' have actually raced in MW.

who's hating LW?


p.s. you suck at interwebs quoting

[GixerJockey]

my gixxer is an 02, but looking for a bike just like Denno's, cause he's my hero, for the track

Just say what you mean...

[OreoGaborio]

gimme a break, I'm on my phone No ones really hating on LW, just as no ones really hating on MW... That's why i put it in quotes.

[Jim]

Just say what you mean...

ya right. wouldnt it be funny if i ended up with an R6

[Awesome]

All I'm saying is that if you're going to race the MW class, you had better get yourself a good crew cheif!

[Kitt]

Denno is a much better hero than ceo. although I could picture you singing "ceo - american hero" to the gi joe theme song

[Jim]

Agreed. I get the same jollies in LWSM, LWSS, PTWINS, LWSB and ULSB, Thunderbikes, Supertwins... That you do in the MW classes.

I don't think it takes any difference in ability either. Just a different mind set and different markers.

Well that and you have to be a little friggin nuts!

oh damn, poor chris didnt even do anything - its ok though - Jim and him will be racing one another next year so they can settle it there

ive already told Noel what I think, but apparently my opinion wasn't enough and he took a page out of Manny's book and made a thread about it

[Pittenger5]

Well that and you have to be a little friggin nuts!

Ehh, I think the LW guys are the ones with the little nuts.

You don't need a chief when you're purpose at LRRS is to sit shirtless next to a bike and wait for that big "GQ" break. seriously, hestryingreallyhard

[Awesome]
