Hey guys, couldn't meet at noon, but made a 1:30 ride up that way, saw you all coming down though, hope you had a good ride. We went all the way to Lowman then some went on to do the loop then the rest of us came back the same way. |

Nate, did you see/bid on the Firebolt on Salvagebikesauctions.com It ended this morning. Last night it had an offer of $1500, and had nearly no damage. |

I didn't see the firebolt, probably a good thing though.. Kinda outa extra cash for the moment, bought a car last month since I have been bikeless for 2 months now... Chad, I picked up this bike from a friend who got axed at a local company whom shall not be named... From what I have seen though, if you watch the Idaho area on that web site Mike listed, you should be able to pick up a pretty decent deal. Most newer generic bikes look to go for about $1500 or so. I've bid on a couple, but have been outbid, I was trying to get one for $1000, haven't had luck yet. (Message edited by c4bird on October 30, 2008) |

Count me out!!! The race track is scary as hell! I can't handle going around corners at 20 mph let alone 100 mph. Maybe if I grow some balls I would be a bit interested, but not now. O.K. Grew some. I'll be there as often as I can. But, at the least two to three time for sure. I'm somewhat waiting to see if there will be any Inside Pass dates at Miller this year. If so, I'll go to those without question. |

I am interested in another inside pass day for sure. |

im also hoping inside pass is held at MMP, for i will make that an additional excuse to go to MMP...question is...do i have to OWN a Buell.....I know there were plenty of NON buells out there last sept.... and Mike...what is it with you and the "track is scarry" talk lately? i keep thinking maybe its an inside joke or something....but you have me all confused. |

J, yes I'm joking. I would live at the track if I could. If there was a closer track I would give up riding on the street, and do track only. And no, you, nor anyone else has to have a Buell to do Inside Pass days. Hell, you don't even have to have a bike for that matter. |

well keep me posted of any inside pass day potential if you hear anything... |

I have this coming. Bought it off Ebay for about $150 less than new. Now I just hope the bastards ship the right size. What do you guys think. all the shoei's i have tried on have felt great and have been pretty quiet.........so naturally when i found this blue black and yellow one i couldnt resist it.....since of course my current lid has been dropped about 10 times and is noisy as all hell.

Love it. That thing is sessy. Now you'll have to get those wheels powdercoated. |

Well, the ride was nice, but the bike goes back tomorrow. Steering head not tightened correctly, both mirrors are getting the scallop cracking problem so many 1125s had in the beginning, and it appears they scratched up my front wheel... Glad the weather isn't nice. |

Jeremy, I'm trying to figure out when I can make it to the track. Still waiting on possible Inside Pass dates. I've got even more motivation now, I just bought a new track weapon. I also picked up an 07 Yami FZ6 with a thousand miles on it yesterday. Not sure if I'll rebuild it or part it out yet though. It would make a killer go cart motor! Nate, this must really suck having all these problems. Hope they get it all right for you, especially now that there's snow on the ground. |

Where did you find that Mike? Fix it up, would be a pretty sweet track bike Yeah, pretty bummed about it. They said they will fix it, just gotta wait and see I guess... |

Nate, I actually got the fz6 from Craigslist in town. It won't be a track bike, for me anyway. I'll be picking the new track bike up on Wednesday barring a blizzard. |

I hopefully haven't got myself into something too bad. The other new bike is nothing that cool, its an 08 R6. It was pretty cheap so I couldn't resist. Sam and I will pick it up in Pasco Wa tomorrow. So J, now that you're an expert in everything R6, I'll need some advice on what to do to the thing. It will be a dedicated track bike. |
