Long week

[tommymac]

Getting down to the wire before my track day now and have a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it.

Working a 24 hr shift today that I just started, when I leave wed morn I gotta hit the groundf running. I have to be in the ER at 9pm and before then ineed to: Finish building my trailer, get said trailer registered, pick up fenders for it, pick up my gas tank, swap out a set of tires, and start putting the bike back together.

I am realy hoping have all of it ready otherwise I will be either using the buell or my old gsxr since I have been too lazy to get around to selling it.

I am all for them expanding a day to 40 hrs so I can get more done :lol:

[Cutty72]

Good luck... but no expanding of the days. I want to get the fuck home.

[wildchild]

with all that to do and your here posting on the board? :lol

just stirring the pot. sounds like an average day for you though. are you building a track only bike? I must have missed that one.

Have fun, bring pics of the track day

yeah stuck at work today, worst part is I am here doing nothting so if I could somehow bring the stuff here I could get work done on it.

Yes I am building a track only bike, picked up an 07 gsxr 750 with a salvage title and some damage from falling off a trailer for 3k. Bike runs and rides well, its just ripping all the stuff off and getting the track bodywork on. I had ot get a new tank and cover, fairring stay, and put in ohlins suspension front bad back.

I have take a bunch of pics of the process, I will take some more when its all together and hopefully more next month when I paint it, I am goin gto go with an ambulance/ER theme with it so I think it will be prety cool.

[wildchild]

sounds like a cool find. Definitely want to see my pics of the ambulance motif.

our drag car (buddys car I just help on it) has the old police motif. even has the lightbar on it sometimes. can't run it that way on the street though.

Funny thing was a guy posted it on a local board and a friend of mine was interested too so I had to talk him out of that one so I could buy it :lol: :whistle:

[marko138]

Damn man, you got a ton of shit to get done.

Dont I know it, my alternative isnt bad though I can rock the buell at lightning then have the gsxr ready for loudon next month.

Yeah, at least you have a few options. But that trailer seems to be a priority.

[tommymac]

yeppers, thats the easy part though, all it needs are the wheels, one plank of plywood is already drilled from the old trailer so I just need to switch it over and then drill out the other one. Rumnning the wires is always a joy but will just zip tie the shit out of em for now. DMV will be the suck though.

[tommymac]

6 hrs down and bored to death. I wonder if theyll let me play with the cranes :lol:

The guys outside would buy that, I doubt our safety manager would since he knows how I am here, but he leaves around 4 so that leaves me plenty of time to cause trouble ;)

[t-homo]

You are fuckin crazy man. Good luck.

its all fun and games till I run over a DEP car with the crane.

theyre all ansy now and are flashing rifles at the main entrance, maybe I will taser them too :rockwoot:

[tommymac]

One more hr and were done. Found a nice score to make my day a bit easier. I was at the NY DMV website to see what time the dmv opened. Turns out theres a newer office right by my house and is just up the road from the gym I go to so that will save me some travel time. They open at 8:30 so I may just go home have breakfast and boogie over there. Figure I can do my cardio, get the traielr registered and then get home and hit the trailer.

[Cutty72]

Just pull the trailer behind you while running to the DMV, no need to stop at the gym.

Damn cops here would prolly still pull me over for having it unregistered :lol:

When are you hitting Calabogie?

[tommymac]

When are you hitting Calabogie?

Not sure, my buddiesz may be planning a trip later in the season.

Today didnt go as well as hoped. DMV was a disaster and I discovered I lost my license somewhere, so now I am going to go back fri morning to replace it. I have a current DL with my old address so that shouldnt be an issue just the usual waste of time.

The trailer fought me every step of the way today but I got it done, just need to tighten down a few nuts and bolts but it will be adequate to get me to and from NJMP.

Didint get to the tires unfortunatley so I will try to tomorrow when my freind comes over to help me with the bodywork. Its going to come down to the wire now and am a bit worried I wont have everything ready in time but I will keep plugging away.

[wildchild]

Jeez as if the schedule wasn't tight enough, you thought you'd throw in a little more difficulty?

good luck. make sure you do a once over on that trailer before you strap the bike down on it. I've done the last minute prep to go thing and had a very close call because of a hand tightened(i'll get the wrench in a minute oh I have to.....) hitch ball. we'll say safety chains do their job well.

damn that was close. I made a list of the little stuff I still need to do and will do a once over agian anyway. Theyre letting me go to work at 11 instead of 9 tonight so that will help.

[tommymac]

its realy commingd own to the wire now. Bodywork is on, didnt go on too well though and there are a few small issues I will need to adress after this track day.

I swapped the rear tire and that fough tme quite a bit, the powers are usualy prety easy to mount but this one gave me trouble, so I am oh so looking forward to the front tire.

So after work tonight I have ot hit DMV to register the trailer, I will be ther ewhen the doors open so hopefully its not too long, then run home swap the front tire, pick up the gas tank and some oil. Get my shit packed and do a once over on everything. then its off to a shop in NJ to get my suspension set up, then down to njmp where I iwll do a quick oil change and hope all will be well.

Sat will be a bit antsy too since this is a new to me bike and will be my first day.

I also realized in the future I will buy prepped track bikes, this converting street bikes ot track bikes is the suck.
