Virginia Riders

I mostly hang out on this board

Southeast, The Lair of the Dragon - The Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains - ADVrider

not 2 many VFR's but some folks that like 2 ride

 

Anybody down for Summit Main with Roger Lyle on Friday 9/17? Matt?

 

Really? Are you a lock for this date?

 

Yep! Signed up last night.

 

I need to check my calendar and see if that date conflicts with anything I have going on this month. Very busy month for me and I wasn't planning on doing any track days for the rest of this month. But if I can pull it off, I may just do it!!

 

Checked the schedule with the boss at home and nothing is scheduled. Now I just need to convince my boss at work to allow me to have Monday and Friday off in the same week! Larkin, as soon as I know something, I'll let you know.

 

Awe you guys suck.....

 

There was a guy at the track taking the race school with MARRC with a red 6th gen. He seemed to be having an issue with braking. I was two/three bikes behind him when he went wide and did a little offroading. Kept it upright tho!!

Just got to the office today and my boss isn't here. I need to see how he feels about me taking off that Friday.

 

Good luck! This could be a lot of fun! Have you ever ridden with RL? If not, my friend is a CR so if you warrant a bump it shouldn't be a problem. Or you could just sign up wherever...they don't care hehe. A decent I in NESBA is A in RL. RL's I group is the liter bike club from what I saw while sandbagging a session. Fast in the straights, sloowwww in the corners. B is B, complete chaos!

BP! Where the hell you been this year? The Sunday rides have been few and far between for me this year and the one's I have made were last minute deals that I had no part in organizing. Mo went back to Brazil in June so I haven't had much interest in doing the usual. Riding isn't nearly as much fun without him. But I got his bike...

 

Work has been ass kicking. Tired of having mine kicked.
Sorry about Mo....
Fall is here riding shoukd be good. I have been ridi g local loops 100 ish miles or so.

 

Rode today a nice loop. Could easily be another 100miles or so. It was a great day to be out.

 

Larkin- Looks like a no go for me. Owned by work! I have a job that the General Contractor wants my company start work on the 20th. My boss doesn't feel with that dead line that it's a good idea for me to bail out of work.... I need to get some more track time damn it!! Plus I need to get some good weekend riding in! I want to head out on Sunday morning and get lost and come back sometime that evening! The next couple of weeks are being pwned by family stuff. Like right now I'm in PA with the family. I'm sitting in our hotel room thinking about how lonely my bike is. FYI- The last set of tires I picked up was a set of the new Dunlop Q2's. They performed awesome on the track. I have only had them out on the streets once but they felt great! If I get decent mileage I may have become a Dunlop guy.

 

Matt- You could always work Saturday instead of Friday right? But if not I'm looking at another day at Summit in October and a weekend with NESBA at NJMP.

The Q2's are pretty amazing. Only in extreme heat at the end of a 20 minute session did they start to lose grip. I demo'ed a R1 that made them feel like plastic though but I think that was just a problem with me and the bike. That thing was out of control! The CBR on race rubber is a beautiful thing.

 

So, Q2sare the new bt016?

 

Basically. The Yamaha Champions School said they were getting 10+ trackdays out of the Q2's on R6's and FZ1's.

 

Already looking into them for the next set.

 

whats this? are YOU praising dunlop?

 

Can't work on Saturdays. And Sunday's are my only day to ball out on two wheels. So I'm gonna have to look at the next one. But I have a feeling I'm screwed. The next couple of weeks are screwed with family shit and a wedding thrown in just to spice things up!

I'm getting into something next Sunday for sure.

 

10/16 and 10/17 at NJMP with Nesba - booked

p.s., there was a red gen5 at summit on saturday, any clues?

 

Oct is looking like shit now for me!!! Damn it all to hell!!!

Kickass that a 5th gen'r was out there!! I saw a 6th gen'r at summit at the last marrc day having some issues with the linked braking it seemed.
