Author Message   Lynn Posted on Thursday, May 19, 2011 - 08:57 pm:        OH NO...hair jel/color for Frank...I love him just the way he is   Ghostrider Posted on Thursday, May 19, 2011 - 10:12 pm:        Great tale, Bart! Nice photos. Glad you guys had a safe and enjoyable time.   Bartimus Posted on Saturday, May 21, 2011 - 09:44 am:        Are we still alive? Has the Rapture started yet? Let me know when it starts, I don't want to miss it!   Reiver Posted on Saturday, May 21, 2011 - 10:59 am:        We have until 6 p.m.tonight. You have time for one last ride,a great last meal,a few last alcoholic drinks and one last quickie.   Ghostrider Posted on Saturday, May 21, 2011 - 01:10 pm:        I'll do all that tomorrow.   Bartimus Posted on Sunday, May 22, 2011 - 09:43 pm:        Went for a nice cruise yesterday up and down as many roads as I could along the rio grande. Saw some spectacular homes and some great scenery.  Today I rode up to santa fe the back way.  On the way back I see someone coming up On me pretty quick, I look down, I'm doing 80. I pull over to the side of my lane and wave him by expecting a crotch rocket. Instead a scooter zooms by, the rider tucked in behind his gauges and pinning his throttle . I couldn't help chuckling, and sped up to pace him and see what his top speed was. He topped out around 95. That's kind of crazy on something with 12" wheels! More power to him!  I did notice on the rear fenderwell it said GL300. Pretty good sized motor.  So, at Springfast I was passed by a Hardley, in the curves, and today I got passed by a scooter. I must be getting old or something.   Agfish18 Posted on Monday, May 23, 2011 - 09:42 am:        check out Daschunk @ track day... damn near draggin knee   Ghostrider Posted on Monday, May 23, 2011 - 11:29 am:        Yeah, that's a great photo. Everyone keep the rubber side down out there?   Buellnick Posted on Monday, May 23, 2011 - 11:43 am:        Not sure about track day day... On race day, One Buell 1125 suffered a major engine problem (not mine) and was no longer able to compete - too bad since he's probably the second fastest Buell rider out there. I had a guy low side right in front of me as he was exciting turn 3 (hairpin). A few panic moments for both of us. I had to avoid him while he rolled out of the way... Generally, a good track weekend. **Turn 3 not four (Message edited by Buellnick on May 23, 2011)   Agfish18 Posted on Monday, May 23, 2011 - 12:24 pm:        it was a fairly good track weekend... I got down to 1:09 lap times, and feel like I am leaning more... There was a guy that went down on Saturday where his Girl friend/ wife said they may have to amputate his finger. My buddy Eric Cooper went down yesterday too. Low sided in turn 1, and his bike is now in-op for a while. He was running 53 second laps though prior to his spill. My fiancee came down with a case of strep (fairly bad since her throat started to swell up and she couldnt eat/ drink very well.) so I stayed home on Sunday to take care of her and didnt make it out to Race day. Glad to hear that no one was seriously injured though.   Syonyk Posted on Monday, May 23, 2011 - 12:29 pm:        Was the engine failure Brandon? (I think... skinny dude, about 115 lbs soaking wet, from somewhere up northwest?) Sucks, though... I spent the weekend playing with a new netbook and rejetting the Blast. I opened the intake up, rejetted the carb slightly, and it's much better! *grins* Pulls much harder in the midrange, with a bit more up high as well. Shannon is a lot happier with it on the highway now.   Buellnick Posted on Monday, May 23, 2011 - 12:41 pm:        I think that turn one incident was a two bike incident... a BMW S1000RR rider went down as well - pretty hard. Everyone walked away...actually one got an ambulance ride - then walked away. BTW: It was B... I just don't like mentioning real names on an open blog like BADWEB. It sounded like a valve train issue...   Daschunk Posted on Monday, May 23, 2011 - 01:49 pm:        Brandon was the 1125 problem. He thinks its a dropped valve. The BMW that crashed was Edda Tully. Last I heard she was ok. Too bad Leo didn't get one of me on Turn 1 or 5. I was dragging alot of knee thru there.   Agfish18 Posted on Monday, May 23, 2011 - 03:26 pm:        I'd like him to photograph me in turn 1 or 6, but he likes getting stuff from turns 2,3 &7 for some reason...   Buellnick Posted on Monday, May 23, 2011 - 04:51 pm:        Agfish, if you can't convince Motofoto to get photos from these corners... nobody can!   Agfish18 Posted on Monday, May 23, 2011 - 10:56 pm:        He's a stubborn old man. Lol. He does what he wants. Just cuz I lived with him for a while (18 years) doesn't mean he will listen to me. ill put the bug in his ear for next time.   Daschunk Posted on Tuesday, May 24, 2011 - 12:11 am:        5 would be great. That is my favorite corner.   Agfish18 Posted on Tuesday, May 24, 2011 - 03:28 pm:        spoke with the photographer, and mentioned the interest in having pictures taken in turns 1 and 5, he said for next track day he will try to head over to those locations.   Daschunk Posted on Tuesday, May 24, 2011 - 08:36 pm:        Sweet!   Agfish18 Posted on Wednesday, May 25, 2011 - 10:05 am:        found this article... pretty funny http://www.cracked.com/article_19217_6-things-nobo dy-tells-you-about-owning-motorcycle.html   Ghostrider Posted on Wednesday, May 25, 2011 - 10:59 am:        Eh... mildly amusing. Reminds me of an encounter I had with a bee one time.   Agfish18 Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 01:58 pm:        I doubt it, but would anyone on here be interested in purchasing a Large KBC helmet (slightly used, practically new)...in Pink? DOT/ SNELL approved. $20   Agfish18 Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 02:13 pm:        http://www.cycleworld.com/motorcycle_roadtest/firs t_rides_articles/11q2/erik_buell_racing_1190rs_-_e xclusive_first_ride Cycle Worlds first ride of the 1190Rs   Ghostrider Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 02:46 pm:        Interesting article. Too bad it's four times more expensive than people can afford.   Ghostrider Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 03:24 pm:        Hmm... re-reading my post, I sorta sound like Debbie Downer. Sorry 'bout that!   Buellnick Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 03:38 pm:        Whatever the market can bear...for an American made, limited production, Superbike. If I had $40k to spare, I would be lining up for one. I'm sure a more affordable Erik Buell Racing bike will be forthcoming... Is there a ride this coming weekend? Where to? N   Bartimus Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 09:16 pm:        Debbie will be in town this weekend and I think we would be up for a ride to Taos for lunch or something.   F_skinner Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 09:46 pm:        Careful Bart, it is Red River Rally weekend. I bet Taos is crowded. Ed, great picture.   Bartimus Posted on Friday, May 27, 2011 - 06:54 am:        Frank, good point, perhaps we will go down towards Ruidoso or something. I wouldn't want to be around that many lead sleds at one time. Thanks for the heads up!   Agfish18 Posted on Friday, May 27, 2011 - 09:18 am:        As far as I know, CJ put together a plan to ride up north toward Chama and back on Monday. I think we are planning on going on that ride.
