bump to the first page!

Are you sure they MotoVid will allow supermoto type bikes? Not all organizations do.

If they do, I will really consider coming to this track day.

I just traded my 2008 R6 for a brand new 2008 DR-Z400SM.

Maybe Matt could teach me a thing or two about riding a supermoto on the track.

The only thing is I want to get through the "break in" period before I take it to a track to ring it out a little bit.

[TMR]

oooooo I just checked....I have to try to log 1000 miles before I can go full throttle on this thing....

hhhmmm

1/2 throttle for the first 500
3/4 throttle for 501 to 1000

[samal]

I saw supermotos on motovid days many times, but I just sent them the email to confirm, will let you know

[samal]

confirmed - supermotos are allowed

[Breadman]

Ride it like you stole it, Tim!

[phoenix]

I swear I hear a lot of guys swear by a method of "break it in fast, it will always be fast. Break it in slow, it will always be slow".

the motors have been run at the factory before it is installed in the frame. just don't go hitting the rev limiter for around 500 miles and you'll be good.

Currently tire shopping and seeing if I can make it. Hope so - thinking about it just about every day.

[samal]

we are still stuck at 17 registered - 3 short from having secured separate group.

People that are on the fence, we count on you!

Just to get your blood pumping, here is my onboard video from Blackhawk Motovid day that I attended yesterday - it was fun and very safe event, very well organized as usual

Damn you for posting that video!  

I was just about to post that I can't make it, since in the last week I've had to replace the brakes and a/c on my wife's car, and last night by washing machine died, and when it did, it spewed water all over the laundry room , making most of the floor tiles pop off the floor.    So today my wife went and bought new flooring and a new washer.

AND, my 3 year old has been battling ear infections, will probably need tubes in her ears, and we haven't met our damn deductible yet.

AND, I still need new tires for the bike.

When it rains if f'ing pours. I'm hemorrhaging money right now. I highly doubt I'll have the funds to sign up for the track day.

Fuck.

[samal]

I hope you situation will improve soon

we are standing at 18 registered with addition of MacGyver! 2 more to go

Nope, I'm only a part time CR for them so I don't work every event.

I was there, I'm the other bike #711 :-)

[samal]

There were actually 3 711-s me, you and another yellow R6 in advanced group, based on you sig, this is you?
