MotoTown anyone?

Who wants to let me borrow a twofiddy

Are you drunk again?

If you get one you should drive into the side wall of the Hospital, it would be easier.

[Pittenger5]

Yes

KB, The track is very easy as far as jumps go. I see a lot of people rolling everything but the smoothest tables. None of them are very big. So a non jumper could ride here and still have fun, if that's your question.

I dug my trailer out of the snowbank today, but I didn't get to the carb. I'll have to pull the jets in the AM for cleaning, then I'll be ready. Hopefully this snow event fizzles...

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

The bike is ready for loading

[Paul_E_D]

Well, We had an interesting day at mototown. It started slamming down snow when I arrived, but it never really amounted to anything. Hessoearly showed despite a late night, Black Squirrel was there, and Seth showed later.

My carb was pissing fuel, so I had to pull it, then struggled to get the bike started. Fuel was off... Damn! I'm rusty.

We hit the track and it was a totally new configuration. A nice long lap with LOTS more obstacles, and some that have teeth.

It turns out Black Squirrels aren't made to fly. Or at least not into the face of a double. Dan was down and out after just a couple of sessions. Dude, I hope you're moving OK!

Shortly after he left, I came up short in a wheelie position and got tossed. I rang my bell pretty good. Helmet split my cheek a little. Worst of all I think I broke my pinkie...AGAIN. A little Duct tape and I was good for 2 more sessions.

Seth showed and He and Jay both rode in control for the remainder. Nice to meet you Seth. Sorry we didn't get to dice it up a little. I would have like to follow you around a bit.

Oh yeah, it was fun to watch the Dowds out there ripping it up.

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

I am hurting, Bruised from the waist to the shoulder blade, I am kinda pissed as Me an jay started to get a good flow out there. I dont think I cut the turn before fast enough and got a little wide going into that triple with the little double cut through. from what jay said idid not hit it straight. Oh well anytime you take a hard one and not break anything is fine. I will be ready roll for next week.

Sucks abut the pinky

[Awesome]

I had a great time. I'm not very good at MX, but I was taking it pretty easy and learning the ropes. I'll advance slow. Can't wait to chase you around again next time. Heal up.

Those guys out there ripping are just nuts.

[JRide]

Sounds like an eventful day.

I'll keep an eye on this thread. I don't ride MX (only been on one MX track) but I do want to try Mototown out. I should have the bike ready this weekend. The new big configuration looks like a lot of fun. I stopped in there on Saturday to spectate.

Been riding trails for a long time but this was my second time ever on an MX track too. It was much better after they split the groups. I didn't like some of the fast guys hammering within inches of me, cutting me off and jumping over me.

Thats what I hated most about the place. Mixed groups just doesnt work for me. The track gets crowded and its just plain dangerous to put out novices with the experts. Just imagine LRRS putting out the first time racers with the Woods.

Glad I stayed on the couch!!!

nice to meet you paul...the new config is definitely pretty cool. they really maximize the track for longest lap times possible it seems. Lots of jumps to hit different ways to keep your brain goin too. I had ALOT more fun my 3rd session and on...when I first went out I was soaking everything in and pinballing off crap. Day got interesting by the end, I had some nice friendly battles goin at the end of the day and before that I had a kid cartwheel over a double 4 feet infront of me and snap his bars in half off his bike.

Hope you get better soon squirrel!

[JRide]

Yeah, I've noticed during the week if there aren't that many people there its just open practice and there are some close calls. Really scares the shit out of me when you have a fast guy coming up on one of the kids on the little PW 50's! Glad you guys had fun and hopefully I'll have the bike ready for next time you guys go.

[seth399]

I just remembered too, I heard weird pinging noise on that fast table/triple thing into the fast stepup (on the start straight) the last few sessions and when I stopped riding I had another snapped spoke right next to an existing snapped one I taped up....really glad my wheel didn't give out 3rd gear pinned aha

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

Just imagine LRRS putting out the first time racers with the Woods.

In all other ccs regions thats what happens, There is no novice so say middleweight superbike the first timers are on the track at the same time as the pros/ Experts.

[seth399]

its really not bad for the most part in mx...the fast guys know how to race tight/pass so they don't really barrel into people. IT gets most hairy around big jumps when slower people pin it, then let off or hit the brakes before a lip. I was passing a dude in nice outside berm yesterday and he had no berm so he came outside and I leaned over right onto his shroud as I was going around outside that was funny cuz it looked like he didn't know I was there til he saw me almost attached to him.

You live right there. If I lived near that place I would be there ALOT.

I know. I just got the bike two weeks ago. Sadly its a little too late though. Looks like they're closing their doors at the end of this month for good.

The guy at Mototown said the Movie people liked another building better so they bought that one instead

[Paul_E_D]

I ended up with a nice black eye for my efforts yesterday. That helmet is retired. The good news is my neck brace seemed to perform as intended. I have herniated disks in my neck, and this face plant did not get my muscle spasms going.

[typeone]

Paul, did you really bust your finger?? hope not!

sounds like a good time minus the get-offs.

[Paul_E_D]

Yeah, I broke the pinkie in the 3rd joint. Same as a roadracing get off a few years back. This time it's less painful as I think I have damaged enough nerves up there that it is mostly numb (well, blue and bulbous as well) Taped up it's not bothering me too much. I went snowboarding yesterday no problem. I rode 2 sessions with it Sunday as well. It cramped up pretty bad after 10 minutes of riding, but wasn't slowing me down much.

[typeone]

bummer but at least its almost a non-issue.. .
