Be there or be square

Come see the CNI Dawg fall down.
Good for a few laughs I'm sure

 

sounds like fun, wish I could go .....But Jamaica call mon.... 8) 8)

 

I can think of a number of reasons to do the track day instead of your vacation

The CNI Dawg's Top Ten list:

10) will cost you a lot less $ than a foreign vacation
9.) will be more fun
8.) will make you a better rider
7.) make new friends whose names you can both pronounce & remember
6.) Get the video tape option so you can look back in a few years & have
a few laughs (memories are forever)
5.) get pictures of you riding to post on the forum
4.) get to wear seasoned rental race leathers
3.) have something to talk about at work instead of "on my vacation I spent alot of money, got drunk repeatedly, can't remember too much else, & all I have to show for it are these stupid Ju-Ju beads or whatever they're called"
2.) have the confidence of being a skilled rider

AND THE #1 REASON:

1.) Pass Loco in the turns while doing a power wheelie as you come out


Gonna miss you being out there bud!
Have fun & be careful on vacation.
Watch out for those Jamacian's selling that 'wacky tobaccie' mon


P.S. plan on doing the March track day.
I'll borrow an enclosed trailer that will hold 3 bikes.
That will make it easier on us old men :-)

 

Dawg, your too funny....I like the list, especially #1....

And of course I am not really sure at all what you mean by 'wacky tobaccie' ?? LOL....he he...

yeah, and I can't talk about it at work, cause my dog don't talk back....(Work from Home)..

And really I don't plan on getting drunk repeatedly...I am thinking I will just continue the buzz 24/7 while I am there....lol

seasoned rental race leathers....hmmm is that a nice way of saying smelly, sweeted in, worn out leathers...

Have fun and don't throw a hip.....ahh...that was just wrong....sorry man....

 

Dawg,

Off topic a little but how are those Gilles rearsets working for you? How about some pics.

David Hill

 

They are a really nice example of machining work!
The only question I have is how did you attach the shifter side exhaust connector pipe to the rearset?
There was no provision to attach it like on the stock unit.
Looks like I'll have to make a bracket :-(

Some pictures are here:

Bill,

Are you doing the Feb track day or the March (or both)? It sounds like fun, what level are you doing?

 

I'm doing the FEb one for sure (already paid & got the day off)
Want to do March too.
I need all the help I can get...you know I'm just a little squid on this track stuff
SO I'll be Level 1

Wanta go Feb 13 ?

 

Sure.. I'll probably start at Lvl 1 as well.

 

I might wanna do the one in March, what do I have to do to my bike??

Make sure you take good notes, and lots of pics....

 

Well,

You have to cover all lights with tape. And you probably should remove mirror and turn signals.

Ok CNI,

Let's do it. I got off work on Monday, and I've put the local hospitals on notice, and I've got all my spare parts lined up. I'm ready to crash and burn at Cresson.

 

OK! COOL !

I'm picking up the trailer tomorrow or Friday.
Prep the bike this weekend.
I'm going out Sunday night & camp overnight to be ready Monday @ 7AM
If you want to come Sunday great. If not I'll haul your bike & meet you Monday AM or whatever.

Are your track day cans lo or hi mount?
When is a good time to get them?

Thx
Bill

 

They are low mount, and I have all the associated hardware. I will be working on the parts bike all week. I got it down to the frame, wheels, and motor after 2 hours of work on Superbowl Sunday. The rest is pretty tricky, a balancing act for me because I have no stands. Come by anytime today or this weekend and check em out.

 

Getting Jealous!!!!!

 

Ok, you can come by too, and start a bidding war.

 

Actually, I was refering to ya'll getting ready for the track day....I feel so alone, and left out.. Blah!.....Bar tender, pour me another!!

 

Hey Randy,
When are you leaving for the tropics?
You know there is an epidemic of Berry Berry going around.
Maybe you should postpone that trip & come to Track Day with us

 

BuwhoHaHa.....Berry Berry....Blaha haha....No way I could back out now....So I guess I will just have to indure....I will take one for the team....I mean twist my arm and all....lol
