Charlie - I'm sorry to hear about your mishap with the Uly. I hope the ankle gets to feeling better soon. 1313 - good on you for paying it forward! |

Brankin you ROCK! Tell ya what, I will trade you the switch you are looking for and the gas cap! Foot is hurtin' pretty good today, but doubling up on lortabs is keeping me sane. Sam is being a great nurse and my son has been awfully snuggly too! |

Damn Charlie! Sorry you had the get-off, but at least you are more or less ok. I may have the hand guards from my CityX I could send to you. I don't know if they fit a Uly or not. If I find them, I'll send them to you so you can try them out. I'll get you the funds for the isolator asap. |

Russ, the hand guards would be great! They will fit as they are all the same. Just wipe off the shipping money from the isolator and ship the hand guards |

Hopefully I still have them. I will check in the garage. It might be this weekend before I can get to it. |

Today was awesome. Rode 3 sessions and photographed 3 sessions. Bloke made some suspension changes for me, and the gsx-r feels like a whole new bike! Mike, I can't return your text message because my phone is roaming, and I'm not going to call you because I don't want to talk for an hour. The trailer's so warm that I actually had to turn one of the heaters off, so I'm in good shape. I'll see you guys tomorrow. |

Ugh. What a freaking day. Long story short, a control rider took me out in turn one. He ran wide trying to pass me on the inside and knocked me right off the track. The gixxer is somewhat broken, but I'm fine. Just a skinned knee. |

I guess control rider means that he wrecked you in a controlled manner! Damn Matt, that sucks to hear that you had a forced spill on the track. Did you have a nice chat with the event coordinator? I gotta get out of the house more. You seem to have an adventure wherever you go! Smokescreen |

Yeah, I had a chat with the coordinator. I wasn't even mad at the dude until I heard he lied about what happened. He claimed he was passing me on the outside, and I ran wide. The T1 corner worker saw the whole thing and backed me up, but the control rider was an old friend of the organizer and an "expert racer." The organizer did at least chew the guy out for making a bad pass, but he still believes I'm the one who made contact. I don't care about my bike nearly as much as I care about my integrity being called into question, and that's what pissed me off. |

Dam... that sux Sanchez. Is there any way you could get them to cover you on another track day with them? It seems to me that if their control rider took you out, and you were unable to complete your track day because of it, they should at least cover you for the next one. Especially if the doofus that took you out tried to lie about the incident. That shows zero class in my book. I made a little modification this weekend: Before->
During->
AFTER! ->
Mom started loosing her hair from her chemo treatments... So I figured I wouldn't make her go bald alone. |

> I figured I wouldn't make her go bald alone. Russ, that is really awesome. Reminds me of a cool guy I met at the track this weekend. His wife had a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. While she was in the hospital, he painted his bike pink for her.

Ha.. not THAT is a cool tribute. Very cool. My Sister just had a double mastectomy a week ago friday. She is doing well... and the good news is that she may not need chemo!! We are super excited to hear that! The doc said that there were no signs of cancer outside of what they removed. |

It does have kind of an odd shape... that is true. I don't know if I'm going to grow it back or not... I kind of like it. And it is probably going to be really nice during the summer.} |

Well guys, I sold the R6. Put it up on Craigslist and it was gone the next day. I probably won't be back on two until the spring. I still have some XB stuff if anyone wants it? Turn signals, foot pegs, rear spring, one third eye mirror. Low ball me I don't care, just want to get the stuff out of my closet. |

You sayin' I gotta funny shaped head?? Yeah. Have you thought that now, with your head being shorn, you need a new helmet? (Message edited by kdan on November 25, 2008) |

Ha.. Well, that picture does make it look worse than it is.. I have not yet tried my helmet on. But I think a knit cap will fill in where my hair used to be if needed. |

Anyone looking for an '04 12R? I have been trying to not do anything with it while telling the wife it was getting parted or sold whole but I can't keep BS'n her any longer. I guess it has to go soon. $4900, 19K, NEW Dunlops, fresh service, headlight recall done, my 12 pipe, my seat heat barrier, there's a Power Commander on it now but that can/will come off with the advent of ECMSpy. Runs great. |
