Rent/Borrow a Bike for TTD Jersey September

[kb1]

Well I am currently bikeless do to my constant need to be flying. However I am hoping to do the September TTD Jersey track dates with a friend of mine.

Does anyone have a Jersey capable bike that they would be willing to let me rent/borrow for the two days? Considering this is Jersey and not Loudon I'm figuring ex500's and the like are out of the picture. We would obviously work out adequate compensation. Ideally I would like it to be a race or track bike.

As far as experience, I have over a dozen track days under my belt, in the wet and dry. I've done them on all the bikes I've had from my Z1000 to most recently my R1. Anyone who knows me on here will attest that I am annoyingly anal retentive about my bikes, and generally more cautious on the race track than a risk taker. I can promise the bike will be in safe hands while I have it.

I have two EX500's, ready to go. But you'll be bored on the straight, laughing hysterically the rest of the time.

If I could have fun as a pre-rookie racer on an EX500 riding VIR North & South, you can have fun on an EX500 at NJMP.

Why laughing hysterically?

Hmmm...might be an idea. Would I do OK on it? I'm probably 180 with full gear.

Do I do OK on mine? You only have 20 lbs on me with full gear.

its a fucking track day, does it matter if you don't win the drag race to turn 1?

I never understand why people think small bikes can't be ridden on big tracks, and Thunderbolt isn't that big really. 125GP runs on the same HUGE tracks as MotoGP and they do just fine.

Go to hell dude, I've never ridden the track and i've never ridden an ex500. I'm asking questions so I can learn, if you don't have anything productive to post shut the fuck up and move on.

At any rate...thank you Clayton. I'll shoot you a message on facebook. I'm going to owe you a few flights!

Go for the ex500, I had plenty of fun at Homestead on my motard. Dont need a big bike to have fun.

Just curious. What would a TZ250 fetch in a rental program? Gas oil and a one man pitcrew included.

dude calm down. what I was getting at was use the 500 and have fun.

the second part of my post wasn't necessarily directed at you, just at anyone that thinks big track means you should have a big bike. I saw Emerson Connor on a 125 being held up by big bikes at Calabogie a few years ago.

Thank you for clarifying, I appreciate it and apologize for being a bit edgy. Was fighting a migraine yesterday.

[CBR929RE]

no worries everyone has those days where even the littlest thing pisses them off. I'll see ya down there.

What is a bike rental worth these days?

We charged $250 for our (scotties) duc 800ss. $500 extra if the bike touched the ground.

[TheIglu]

That sounds like a good deal.
