Yeah, after posting that I looked it up:
http://njmotorsportspark.com/index.html
I remember hearing something about a track at Milleville, but I never paid that much attention. I had no idea if they were open yet or when they would be open or what kind of races they'd have.
Probably only a half hour ride (maybe less if I've got my 1125R by then )
Moto-ST at Milleville! Too cool! |

Hey Mutant, You if they had an Am/Ex class, you could run one bike in each at Milleville..  I know you could find the riders. Or perhaps you'll just have to run a larger team.. with bikes in multiple classes?
After all, if you run an 1125R you'll have to de-tune some wont you?
Now, how's that the second time we're hearing that.. about a Buell..Hmmmm.. This is getting to be a trend I like!..
Gonna have to work on getting out there to that new track! Both to ride it and to shoot it! |

Soup has 2 pictures of the Buell, and a few of the BMW's as well. What I want to know is, what frame is this bike running, and what the heck happened to Shawn's leathers

Oops. Pictures are difficult to deny. So here it is. It's a special titanium alloy frame slated to appear on Buell's upcoming 220HP World Superbike 1199cc version of the 1125R.
One result of Shawn's most recent knuckle grinding and bone breaking get-offs was that bits of Buell motorcycle and racetrack DNA infiltrated his blood and somehow melded into his own genetic coding. The result now that Shawn is back on the track turning laps in anger, the needed catalyst, is that Shawn is now mutating/evolving such that his knee is reforming into a self-regenerating knee-puck shape.
Or it could be that they got a pre-thx anony production unit with an uncoated frame.
Not sure about Shawn, though he may well be mutating and evolving. You'll have to ask him. He'll not likely deny that he has Buell Motorcycles and the racetrack in his blood.

Production bike, uncoated frame to not starve production of coated frames as the supplier ramped up. |

My favorite part is the sticker on the swing-arm. That gives you an idea of how fresh-out-of-the-crate it is.

Hey! Is that a steering damper tucked under that front fairing?
Cool shot! |

I have always admired Shawn's body language on a racing motorcycle at speed. He looks like he is going fast when he is just sitting still...
Thanks for the excellent shot of him on the new bike! |
