    I am back

    I just signed up for a bunch of trackdays, thank you Tony and Carl.

    Oh yeah I also signed up for penguin on the 24th. I hope you racer guys will take it easy on a new guy..

    It sure is good to have my time be mine again.

    Wow! I'm really surprised not to see a Tard as your race machine.

    Welcome back.

    Re: I am back

    I haven't really given it that much thought. I am sure I will be racing a tard to start. Both of the ktms, and the cr are safety wired.

    The sv is still sort of a mystery to me. I never got a chance to ride it last year.

    I should be fine for the rookie race and the first weekend on any of them. After that who knows. I should probably choose one and concentrate on it.

    Re: I am back

    i'd agree that choosing one to "focus" on would be a good idea, but i would think until you are fighting for tenths of seconds running a couple different bikes may not hurt. getting a motard around the track quickly may make you quicker on the sv and visa versa

    Re: I am back

    That is pretty much what I figured. For now I am definitely more comfortable on the tard so I will start there. At this point I am not sure how much racing I will do. So jumping around a little shouldn't hurt.

    Word... I say jump around as much as your big heart desires. Not like you're a slouch on any of em. Might as well use the Novice track time to find out what you like from personal race experience.

    Hey, and if you're lookin for a garage to pit in.....

    Re: I am back

    That is what I figured Graham. I will probably ride the KTM to start with, I am most comfortable on it.

    The Aprilia, cr500, and KTM SMR, and DRZ are all in the middle of full rebuilds. So my choice will also be based on what is ready. I have really been pretty destructive over the last few years. Nothing beats riding a timebomb.

    I have heard about you and motards OX, and I blow them up pretty well on my own. thanks.
