Lt. Wt. twin VS. Middle Wt. I-4???

[Kitt]

stop it, you're great

these are the "cheating tendencies" we talked about.

[Doc]

i say stay out of the 600 class. it's not about balls or ego or anything like that. it's the extreme costs and the fact that no one who started racing in their 20s or 30s and ran 18s their first weekend is going to amount to anything remotely close to Rossi. it's about having fun at this point. personally, being broke because of racing takes all the fun out of it for me. it becomes more of a problem. something that might help you decide is to go check out the vintage races. the riders are on such old, crappy, almost completely powerless bikes, but the ridiculous amount of cheap fun that they're having really says something about motorcycle racing in general. with that said, i've really got nothing against racing 600s, it's just that racing for me will never be a career and i don't really give a crap about chasing down sponsors to make ends meet.

Do you even have your race license?

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

Race whatever the hell you want. The LW thing is Fun at Loudon, I have ridden a 600 At Homestead and the 600 Class was fun as Hell. I found the 600 to Be a Handful at NHMS and I am much Happier on it then a 600. But you might Love it If the cost of tires dont scare you off, Go for it it works for alot of people. Just not me at Loudon

[CEO]

wouldnt it be funny if i ended up with an R6

Why would that be funny?

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

Hey now what did I ever do to you?

its ok though - Jim and him will be racing one another next year so they can settle it there

I'll believe it when I see him on the grid... doubtful.

Unless they start Jim a wave or two ahead of me, it won't even be close to something you could call an actual 'race' between us anyways...

He'll probably just highside on pit out though.

He took penguin with me...

nothing... which is why denno is my hero. he tucks my junk in for me before i zip up my leathers.

[GixerJockey]

he took a page out of Manny's book and made a thread about it

What is this "Book of Manny" of which you speak?

[RyanNicholson]

no that's good and i'm glad you did. it comes down to a choice, one i've already made so maybe I'm a bit biased. i'd race for fun, not a career. i'm already working hard at something else i like... that provides health and dental lol.

lol I agree. I do take racing pretty seriously, but I just want to do the best I can with it and personally love the MW class. At the end of the day you just have to find the balance that works best for you and your life. Some people enjoy racing lightweight and the low cost associated with it, some people don't mind spending the money to try and compete in a more tech/money driven competitive class. But I'm not about to quit my day job for it.

thats all it boils down to.

[Sheppo]

I don't really know anything about motorcycle racing yet, I am learning. I do know about costs, both time and $ to go racing. Everyone needs to try racing once. It's not for everyone, Do what you can afford and when you can't stop or change. I raced stock cars for years and I really don't want to know what it cost me per year to have 'fun'. It shouldn't matter what class your in, your racing and that's the bottom line. Some do it for fun, some for more. Sponorship is huge when you running a bigger class. They say to make a little money racing you need to start with a lot! A truer statement was never said. I look forward to meeting some of you next year, no matter what the class and maybe one or some of you will help me on my track day

What else have you raced?

[Kitt]

What else have you raced?

mrssogood

[RyanNicholson]

What else have you raced?

only thing i've ever had on the grid was my R6 and the Triumph, turned some laps on a motard, couple different 600's, and a Kawi 650. Haven't had much opportunity to try different things....but I enjoy what I've got and who I race against a lot.

I'm not hating on LW classes at all, just saying to each their own....racing is racing and its fun....and there are a number of classes to go about doing it depending on what your particular tastes are.

This will settle everything.


You have a chance to get one of these on a UL-LW machine. Not so much on a MW-HW-UN machine. That is Wood's territory.

[Pittenger5]

Id like some of those bewbies!
