Dont know if anything will even be seen on the track..wife took the pics & she isnt very camera savy. Hobans race rig. Dave's camp with Jasons bike out front. Hobans race bike starter Bill/Outrider just as he arrived. The wifes attempt at taking pic  I was so fast she couldnt keep me in frame. Thats Jason as he just went by | ||

Rocket...take notice of the lack of strips This Daves bike Mine..& this was after just the first session. More of the wifes handiwork. This is turn 5 I like this part, come out of the turn doing about 85 & then accelerate to about 120 before a hard right hander. This was the braking marker I kept overshooting. Front to back, my wife, Penny, Paul from Waterloo Jasons tow setup. My fancy dancy setup Thats it for digital pics. Wife wasnt feeling good so not many were taken. Do have a number on the 35mm but have to develop them. | ||
| Daves |
Penny shot a bunch too but on a 35mm so she will get them developed then I'll have to scan them and email them to Dyna so he can post them for me. Maybe a new job for computer Todd? Dave | ||
| Kelly |
Take them to walmart and pay the little extra bit to have them put on a CD. They are MUCH better quality that scanned pics. It saves ALOT of time too! | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
I was going to do that. Havent had my Scanner hooked up in 2 years. | ||
| M2me |
Gotta agree with Kelly on that. Lots of places will give you digital pics on a CD. Just have to pay a little extra. | ||
| M2me |
Dave, put computer Todd to work. He took some great photos and posted them. You don't need Dyna to hold your hand...or do you?  | ||
| Outrider |
Yep...sure was a bad hair day. Just washed my hair and couldn't do a thing with it. LOL Was wondering how long it would take someone to post those pics. You guys had me posing long enough. Hahaha! | ||
| Uwgriz |
Dyna, I don't want to infringe on Dee's handywork without permission, so could you ask her if I can use the pic of me on the front straight in my profile?  | ||
| Bluelightning |
Outrider, Was the wind blowing through your hair or just blowing it out? lol the funny part is I'm only 32, and you have more hair than me...lol | ||
| X1glider |
Nice tires, especially Dave on the XB. | ||
| Outrider |
Bluelightning...Just arrived after riding 75+ freeway miles, sans helmet, on my Wide Glide. I looked like I was cruising at 80mph while standing still. LOL I knew someone was going to bust me on that. I was just waiting to see which of the photographers would do it. Have a feeling the others were laughing too hard and the pics turned out blurred. LMAO Reminder to self. Either get a haircut or a collection of hats/shopping bags for future public appearances at motorcycle functions. | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
Gotta learn to hang off like this & collect mega style points  | ||
| Outrider |
NOW THAT'S USING YOUR HEAD, DYNA!!! | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
Couple more pics from Track day. Myself riding b1tch behind Dave on my bike Dave & his lovely wife Penny | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
The last of the track pics. The wife actually managed to get a few shots with bikes in them If I figure out how to use my new photo editor then I can blow this pic up & you will actually be able to see Dave on his XB | ||
| Outrider |
Dyna...That is Dave behind you on the second last pic. You could always tell him as his helmet had the white skunk stripe down the middle. LOL Wish someone had caught a video of you passing him on the straight. We all were watching but it was a classic that would have provided years of entertainment. | ||
| Dasbuell |
So... Should he get a new screen name of... Pepe Le Pew (formerly dasxb9s - still not right in the head) | ||
| Daves |
Thanks Das! Yep, the XB12R is no match for a R1 on the straights! Now, if we could've just got some of those slow in the corner riders out of the way. Next time Dyna, next time.  Dave | ||

Dave, Sorry for bustin' into you thread but I wanted to post a few pics of my track day at Road America back on 8/10. I know, I know, I need to work harder on hanging off!! There's always something to work on...  | ||
| Gearhead |
The first on was turn 5, this is just after the bridge on the way to the main straight.  | ||
| Gearhead |
And in the carousel, Weeeeeee!!!!  | ||
| Outrider |
Looks good Ralph. Those are some great shots. Was that the track photographer's work or a relative/friend? Next time we can line you and Dyna up for "Hang Off School" so you guys can get some variety in your poses. LOL Note: Hanging off is not required to have a great time ever in a non-competitive environment. | ||
| Gearhead |
Thanks Outrider, Actually I have quite a large entourage that follows me around wherever I go with video and still cameras!!LOL SliderPhoto.com is really responsible for the great pics! You know the drill, they show you your photos on their website to set the hook, then you send 'em a check for ALL your pics so you can show off!! Actually it's worth every penny for the grin factor. Actually I thought I was hanging off until I saw the PHOTOS!! Watch out, DAVE!!!! | ||
| Doitindark |
Great pics Gearhead, I cant wait till I do a trackday. Road America looks like fun! Dyna what track where you on? What group did you ride with? | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
That was Blackhawk Farms...just outside of Beloit. I ran the intermediate group, but probably could have run in the expert group...just woulda been further back in the bunch. Ralph...good to see someone else rides tracks like I do. Some folks spend all their time concentrating on hanging off. I try to concentrate on just going faster & faster & passing the guys practicing their extreme hangoffs. BTW...Road America is huge fun. I like it because its a huge track with lots of variables to it. Where as the smaller tracks you are lapping so quickly it actually gets a little monotonous. At least if you are out in front it does. I always like to have someone up ahead that you can spend some time working on your lines & braking as you chase him down. | ||
| Outrider |
actually gets a little monotonous. At least if you are out in front it does. Yeah, like any of us will ever know the feeling. LMAO Sorry. That was one opportunity I just couldn't pass up.  | ||

gearhead -- no need for you to hang off with the clearance you've got left, sir . . . . me, I like smaller tracks -- they are generally tighter, and top speeds are generally lower, which cuts down on my hearing Bill Cosby's voice in my head as I go into turn 1 (You're going to die!) . . . . also, as one, ehem, er, uh, gains experience, shorter tracks are easier to remember! | ||
| Outrider |
To supplement Bomber's memory deficiency, he sometimes forgets to elude to upper body steering when addressing hanging off. LOL...Gotcha Buddy.  | ||
| Bomber |
huh? oh, hey, ouch! {grin} |
