Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Yep... on my feet! Lol.

I do try to spend some time practicing parking lot maneuvers but those guys are crazy good. I did get my first "wheelie" with the CRF on Sunday! Not bad for a 50-something dude!

Getting excited for warmer weather! Wondering if anyone here does track days?

 

I haven't yet but have always been interested in doing one. Have a friend who races vintage roadracing series. Hoping to go watch him later this year at Summit Point in WV. He started with an old Bridgestone 2 stroke 175 and is now on a Triumph 500 twin I believe. He sold his street bikes and now just races.

 

I did a couple track days at NJMP on my old 600... some of the most fun I've had on two wheels. I'm making it a goal to go this year.

Do you have your first day of the season booked already?

 

I have Eargasms and I have been very happy with their adjustability. I have the proper combination now that makes riding on the street doable now. My helmet is a straight DOT dirt helmet so the wind noise is insane. The best part is that 95% of the time they actually stay in when I take my helmet on and off now.

Are you a NJ local?

that is some bad ass bike handling skills....old mad goldwing and myself NOT going to happen!!

 

Nope. The key is to look Into the turn and never look down. Watch their heads. That being said if I practiced and didn’t care if I dropped my bike could prob be pretty decent. But I don’t want to practice and drop my bike like i know will happen

 

Summit Point is where I be! Haven't gone for any real races yet, just track days...

Nice! No days booked just yet. I stay close to home (only about 15 miles from Summit Point) but plan on going to each track there at least once over the summer...

 

I had no intention on getting light weight camping gear since I have a Drifter but I just picked up tickets for Blues & Brews. Ground pounding for that event so I may just have to pick up some gear and ride the Rally so I don't have to worry about parking the Taco a mile away and carry in gear.

 

justify it however you want, just stop wasting time and go start buying that gear now!!!

 

haha. I do have til Sept but I'm going to see what gear my cousin bought to load up on his GS and go from there.

 

I live in PA now but originally from NJ - grew up in Manchester/Ocean County. Still have lots of family and friends in the area so I'm out there fairly often.

Summit looks fun, and right around the corner from you can't beat that!

 

Same here, except GFC. I haven't slept on the ground in a long time

 

If you are on the western side of the state check out Pittsburgh International Raceway. Great venue and they run motoamerica there now after they added on several years back.

 

Unintentionally set this up while cleaning up the garage. Realized when I went to push everything back in.

 

I just got my knockoff knockoff chairs. The bungees inside the poles needed a little trimming, but they didn't break when i sat down, so theres a plus. Going to strap one to the bike.

Gotta dig out my rok straps from a box and use them again.

 

I'm near Philadelphia, but good to know

 

I had it delivered to my house

No MSF until this weekend or License until I can get all the paperwork done at the DMV next week.

Plus I bought it then immediately drove home in rush hour traffic. Not tryin to die on day 1.

But yeah, the look is pretty accurate.

 

How much you want for the grom?
