     Buells Rule! (Dyna in disguise) |
Still no net at home...library aint so bad though. See all you who are coming to Blackhawk on the 25th. I will be there bright & early...by 7am. Later. | ||
| Daves |
Find Leon and have him show you where our "VIP" pit area is. You bringing the grill? Where were you Sunday? | ||
| Koz5150 |
VIP area!!! Woohoo!!! | ||
| Chris_mackay |
Anyone interested in safety wiring their bike before the 25th is welcome to stop by this Sunday and get it done. I've got everything necessary to make it easy to do! | ||
| Kinger |
VIP area!!! Woohoo!!! I second that!!! Thanks for the offer Chris. Don't think I will have a chance to make it though. Looking over the bike prep recommendations, it says that I can just tape my mirrors. Am I better off taking the mirrors and blinkers off the bike? | ||
| Chris_mackay |
"Am I better off taking the mirrors and blinkers off the bike?" If you plan on flying into turn 7 maybe you should! Go to http://www.blackhawkfarms.com and check out the onboard videos if you'd like an idea of how the track can be! | ||
| Koz5150 |
Are there any saftey wire requirements, or just suggestions? | ||
| Chris_mackay |
Koz, since you'll be pushed up into the "Advanced" group right away you'll probably need to read the CCS rule book to see everything you'll need! Let's see.... Full leathers, catch can, belly pan, 10 X 12 number plates with rounded corners and 8" numbers.... (Um... No requirements for where we'll be at BUT read the prep info at http://www.privatetracktime.com ) | ||
| Koz5150 |
Full leathers? Maybe I will borrow my dad's chaps... ha ha I can put a cookie sheet in my shirt (Belly Pan, get it?), and is a catch can some Euro trash phrase for a toilet? No problem. I got it all covered | ||
| Diablobrian |
hmmmm is there a trackday on the 27th as well? That's what I'd heard and planned to attend that one prior to the weekends' races. Look for the gimp in the diablo racing shirt, that's me. | ||

Aaron, I pulled my mirrors off on the S3 and just put a couple of 1/4-20 bolts in to hold the fairing onto the supports. I'm not sure how easy it is to get replacement mirrors any more, but I know they're not cheap. | ||
| Kinger |
Thanks Griz. I will have to get some bolts this weekend. | ||
| Chris_mackay |
I've got room for 1 more bike on a trailer from Waukesha at about 4:30AM on the 25th. Anyone need a lift? | ||
| Midknyte |
Are you working the night before Chris? A bit early to get my arse up & around, but if I rode up to you night before... | ||
| Chris_mackay |
Unfortunately I will be working that night till 10PM. But you're still welcome to come on up. | ||
| Midknyte |
Weather is supposed to be good mid next week. I'll take that last spot in your bus. You got enough extra tie-downs & straps? I don't... | ||
| Chris_mackay |
No problem. Got 'er covered. | ||
| Koz5150 |
Does anyone have a roll call of people from the Milwaukee area going? | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Brad, yeah, come on up. you can hang with the wife and I if'n ya like the evening before. And between Chris and I, I'm sure we can find ya a bed to sleep in for the night. | ||
| Chris_mackay |
Roll Call? Crispy Creme for me! | ||
| Koz5150 |
No no no.. not Jelly roll... Roll call! Like who's going. I actually live about a mile from the Crispy Creme in West Allis. It wasn't a big deal when they came to Wisconsin for me. I live in Alabama for 3 years while in the Air Force and I friend of mine used to work at a Crispy Creme. Down there they don't have a bar close time so we used to always joke with him about leaving the bar at 4:00 am cause it was "Time to make the Donuts". We would swing by his work at 5:00 and get a fresh hot box of glazed for free. What a great way to end a night of drinking.... | ||
| Chris_mackay |
Ohhhhh..... THAT roll call. 1 - I'm going 2 - Steve's going | ||
| Midknyte |
yo | ||
| Uwgriz |
I'm in. | ||
| Buells Rule! (Dyna in disguise) |
I'll be there by 7am. | ||
| Kinger |
I'm in! | ||

What type of access to the track is there for spectators? My wife talked about coming but doesn't want to be there first thing in the morning. She also has to leave by 3:30 to get to Milwaukee for work. | ||
| Chris_mackay |
Spectators have a GREAT view in several places! There's one spot in particular that, when there's a bit of traffic, you can get bikes leaned all the way from one side to the other and everywhere in between. | ||
| Fiery_xb |
Wish I could go!  Have to make up for last year. Yea, I know, quit with the whining!  | ||
| Koz5150 |
My wife is coming with me to take pictures and see what it is all about. She is very new to the whole motorcycle thing. First time I took her out she asked if I could not lean the bike, it didn't feel right. I don't think she knew what she was getting into when she married me. |
