A bazillion pieces

Is what my bike is in right now :panic:

:lol:

Forks are off and ready to be rebuilt and refreshed.

Top triple is off and ready for me to get the ignition off, will be wiring up a simple switch for that and selling the whole keyset, getting a screwoff gas cap too.

Shock is ready to go on.

No big rush though... have the whole winter :panic:

My buddy and I will be building up his new race tard in my garage as well.

I'll also be doing a frame-off restoration of my old minibike to use as a pitbike :lol:

What a mess. Clean your garage.

Thanks for keeping me in line. It really is pretty sloppy in there, I am so disorganized.

[marko138]

The shit along the walls is what I was refering to specifically. Not typical of a gentleman like yourself.

[ceo012384]

That is my buddy's motard and there are about 8 boxes of new parts that we are going to be putting on it. That's why there is stuff everywhere.

[marko138]

I was showing my wife pictures of your garage...she was impressed with the start to finish transition.



I was showing her b/c I was looking at the Buell pics from NJMP...and saw you...I had forgot you were there.

[ceo012384]

Clearly she has exquisite taste.

And yeah I was bummed you couldn't make it out to meet up with us. Those two days taught me how to turn to the right. Really going to help me back at NHMS.

I'm better at rights than lefts. In fact...both times I've crashed have been left turns.

I hear ya. Everyone has a better side.

NHMS is mostly lefts, so I'm much better at those. And the right handers that it does have are the ones with the nastier bumps and transitions (not to mention walls).

That being said those two days at NJMP on both tracks helped me a lot. I can't wait to get back to NH.

These two shots are from the day after that Buell day, on thunderbolt. I was getting much better at right handers. The one in the pic is a slower speed right hander, so I'm not too worried that I didn't get quite as much lean angle.

My form is still a bit off though. I think some of it stems from awkward inside foot placement that I need to get in check.

I'm by no means an expert, but it looks like you need to rotate around the tank a little more. Get your knee out front a little more.

[ceo012384]

I just need to get my head over/down a bit more and my torso will follow. As I get fatigued, I tend to sit up. I do pretty well at keeping my body parallel to the bike's centerline though.

That positioning is after 1.5 days of hard track riding and as I got more tired, that is the position my body put itself in in order to be comfortable it seems...

I've got some winter training plans to increase strength and endurance.

Exactly.

Exactly.
Now that I think about it... that should qualify her for some type of award....

Ok, she has exquisite taste in garages. But not men.

[marko138]

She's got one...5'10" and 190 pounds of marko138. Learn how to work, kid.

You son of a bitch. I guess I'm gonna have to cut you when we meet.

[OneSickPsycho]

Ok... let me re-phrase the statement... not award... REWARD for her charity work.
