Good ones....my bike has no key but for those who do...great suggestion. Further...its a good idea NOT to leave the key in the bike...specially when traveling with an open trailer.

[Mongoose441]

My key is saftey wired to my triple tree

[The Crashing Tomato]

I have a keyless model, they're all the rave these days ...you should try one

[bergs]

Not much longer now......

CBR got reggied, 'spected and insured today.

Blue Ridge Pkwy on Sunday, VIR North on Monday and Tuesday!

Life's so rough sometimes.

[The Crashing Tomato]

SOOOOoooo that's why you wanted to leave so early


it's actually a good idea.

I will make it to those roads someday .....till then I guess I'll just have to settle with VIR and NHMS

[bergs]

Push your leave time up and join in the fun!

I would have already jetted by now but I hafta wait for my travel buddy...

You guys should leave on Saturday AM.

Riding on Sunday is a great opportunity to shake off the winter cobwebs, ya know?

[The Crashing Tomato]

I'm good till VIR thanks anyway!

Alton, Virginia (24520) Conditions & Forecast : Weather Underground

[The Crashing Tomato]

only a 25% chance of sprinkles Monday

friggn temps on either side of Monday and Tuesday are in the 60's and 70's WTF

good thing the track is so Long. plenty of time for the tires to reach a good temp before flogging the throttle

Dave's under ground page makes it out to be really sketchy ... 43 /31

[Pittenger5]

Well alright then....Carlton, quit your job and leave NOW!......I'll be at your house in a half hour...

[bergs]

Just an FYI:

If anyone needs to empty liquids during or after the event, I'll have containers with me for this. One for oil and one for water/ coolant.

I've arranged for a waste fluids drop off after the trip.

Also, I didn't see any mention of it so far, but I'll be bringing a small grill along for is to use, if needed.



I learned something new today as well.

Distilled water is in the baby section of the supermarket...

Yeah, that's right...I go in to Hannaford's for distilled water to do the coolant flush and couldn't find any in the water section to save my life.

Asked an employee where it could be found at which point she walked me over to the baby section of the store and there it was in between the formulas and diapers....clear gallons with bright pink caps and bright pink labels with a cute and cuddly little baby pictured on it....Awwwww!...........

So there I was, standing in the waiting line with 3 gallons of pink-labeled baby water...

I found it to be mildly amusing given the fact that I'm so far away from even thinking about children it's not even funny...yet, there I was with baby-water in hand...

This is gonna be a great time!

[The Crashing Tomato]

yea CVS and Wal-mart have the same problem with that

woohoo VIR

[Pittenger5]

Thats why I went with engine ice. I like to buck authority

[The Crashing Tomato]

is EIce legal @ VIR????

for shizzle that is still a glycol product ... no??

[Pittenger5]

They said they prefer water and water wetter, but if youre doing an early spring or late fall day they say engine ice is ok

[The Crashing Tomato]

cool

did not know that

[The Crashing Tomato]

Hey goose or dolla is the wookie going to meet us down there???

[Pittenger5]

I think I read that somewhere. Its racing approved, so I dont see why you cant use it.

[Pittenger5]

I was under the impression hes coming with us
