Yeah...my dad's a cool old dude. The roads around Pocahontas State Park are worth the ride. Not to mention the wide open roads around the Petersburg Battlefields. (there's a ticket waiting to happen) |

Alright!!! I've got the Portable Digital Recorder working. I was worried that the mic would blow out at 80 MPH but it did just fine. So...I guess we can now start to save Hooligan Ride's to post so all can see! I am interested in setting the cam and recorder on different bikes cause we all ride different. Anyone interested? I guess we can post the video content to something like YouTube and then just put links here in the forum. |

Not yet Joe...Currently we're made up of mostly R's and S's with a couple of Tubers mixed in for flavor. There was a guy that jumped on the board a couple of weeks ago with a Uly, but I haven't seen him post up since. |

Joe, I like your "personal Quote", but I'm not sure which category I fit in?? A Uly with bags 2-up, out past West Point, is totally a reason to get excited. That is what the bike was meant for, and there's good roads out there...somewhere. |

Frank Thanks, it guides me along. Don't worry about which category. Riding a Buell kinda locks you in. Joe |

From March's AMA magazine. The developers of the King William racing complex have withdrawn their request for a special permit to build the complex. The developers plan to address the concerns of neighbors, such as their sound concerns, before applying again. Not good. Joe |

See, I wasn't the ONLY one to let the cat out of the bag!!! Good to hear that it's only sore muscles and nothing else reared it's head. Have you tried buffing out the gas tank yet? |

Not enough buffing in the world is going to bring those scratches out |

Hey Guys, I've got a lead on a Decal Maker that might be able to make us some Hooligan Stickers (logo) I have asked that he put the 757 in the picture and to divide the colors up between Yellow/black, red/black, white/blue, blue/white and black/white They look like they'll be either 3 1/2" or 4" decals. I'll let you know what the final answer is and if you want one PM me for the price. (I'm planning on using one for the timing cover) |

just completed some poor man's air box and breather mods. Turned out pretty nice sans a few touches to clean it up. All in all I spent about $40. Beats the hell out of $169 and up. lol |

Mike, Copied direcly from Sportbike track time website... http://www.sportbiketracktime.com/policies.html Bike Preparation (Also know as "101 uses for duct tape") 1) All bikes MUST pass technical inspection prior to admittance to the track. If your bike DOES NOT pass tech inspection, you will NOT receive a refund. 2) Tires and brakes must be in good condition. Tires should be at least 75% of new condition. Any tires that are bluing from excessive wear will be disallowed. Slicks are allowed in 85% plus condition. We will have on site tire service at each track day, so if your tires don't pass, you will have the opportunity to put on replacement tires to pass tech. 3) All glass, headlight, turn signals, and plastic lenses must be taped over or removed. Side mirrors must be removed for the advanced group and at least taped over for all other groups. 4) We recommend, but do not require removal of center stands. No bikes with center stands will be allowed in the Advanced/Racer Group due to the ground clearance issue. 5) All machines must have an operational handlebar mounted kill switch/button and self-closing throttle in good working condition. 6) Advanced and Intermediate group riders MUST use water or water wetter or a non-ethyl glycol based anti-freeze/coolant. Approved Poly Glycol brands are: Evans, 7th Gear, Liquid Performance, and Engine Ice. NO AUTOMOTIVE ETHYL GLYCOL BASED COOLANTS ARE ALLOWED. 7) All valve stems must have caps. 8) Wheel balance weights must be well-secured. 9) License plates must have bolts taped or be removed. 10) Added for 2008 season: Advanced riders are required to safety wire drain plugs, oil filter and oil caps Rider Gear Requirements (No, shorts and flip flops won't cut it....) 1) Damage free BSI, DOT or SNELL full-face helmet with face shield. 2) Riding boots that fully cover the ankle. 3) Gauntlet style gloves with full wrist coverage. 4) One or two piece leathers. Two piece leather suits must zip together for Novice, Intermediate or Advanced groups. Ballistic nylon suits such as Joe Rocket, AeroStitch etc. are acceptable in the Novice and Intermediate Group only provided they are either one piece or two piece that zip together with 50% zipper contact, reinforced and padded shoulders, elbows, hips, and knee areas. No chaps. Advanced and Intermediate group riders ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR A BACK PROTECTOR. Soft back pads sewn into suits are not enough. We sell Bohn back protectors at special STT member discounts. We can arrange to deliver your new back protector to you the day of your event or ship it to you home. We will have a limited number (6-10 per event) of back protectors for rent. No back protector = no track time!!! I just tried to call and register, but they close a t 4:30 EST. |

Hey... Anyone want to make a run down to March Badness? I think putting a couple of bikes on a trailer and heading to GA wouldn't be so bad. Even if it's only for the Saturday, leave pre dawn, ride with the others. then we could head back, get to NC and get a room for the night and be home early afternoon on Sunday. Sounds doable to me. Anyone else interested? |
