Prayers for fellow rider sent. I know we can get him on a Buell. I do not know what it is about SV1000s. A buddy from work who also has a Blast, had a bad accident on his Suzuki when a woman turned in front of him. He has been out for several weeks and has just returned to work. He's asking about the Uly. (Message edited by Ulywife on September 14, 2009) |

Thanks loads. No news yet. But at this point, no news is not bad news. One song that helps me when facing struggles is from Lone Star. Mountains. Matt is climbing his mountain now even if it looks like he is lying still. This song from Lone star is on my “Inspired” playlist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEQYN1DC220 |

Prior, Will do. There are, by now, thousands of people praying for Matt. Latest word is "Critical but Stable." Still in the ICU. When he gets moved out of the ICU (thinking positive here)and can receive visitors, I'll let y'all know. I plan to bring him a die cast Buell if I can find one. And maybe a "Crash Dummy" doll. I do have a bent sense of humor. |

Looks like the weather will be better up there than in G'boro. If the planets align I might be able to run up for Sunday. |

Anybody headed to VIR this weekend? As usual, my parents timing is perfect! They are spending tonight in Kernersville and should arrive here sometime tomorrow afternoon. When my Mom called tonight she said they were going to sleep in tomorrow. How late can a couple of retirees sleep in? Since they usually stick around for about a week, I'm not going to be able to make VIR. I should've remembered since Jordan mentioned it to me when I saw him at NJMP, but in all honesty the date of my parents visit was set before I even left for NJMP. Mike - Good luck with the first running og the Beast! Jordan - Continued success! Sure wish I could be there... 1313 |

Oh yeah, speaking of NJMP, here are a few of my pics of the journey and experience. Since I can't top the masses, I won't try and will give a little different view from my experiences. I met Spectrum in Wilson Thursday night around 11:00 p.m. We got a hotel and when the sun was up the next morning I realized there was a small graveyard out back. So, of course, I had to take a short tour of it. Am I the only one that sees the smiley face in this?
Just remember this - cemeteries are full of dead things.
I really have no idea what Greg White is trying to do to Jack, but it seems that Jack doesn't really mind.
The joys of having a SLOW digital camera. What was supposed to be a picture of Erik and Court holding their hands out like books falling, or competing racebikes, or something like that turns into this (still a good shot though...)
Corey West's ride - the Erik Buell Racing 1125RR. Anyone else notice the helmet Corey wore had a BIG # 13 on it? Maybe he got it from Estok... I know, I know, BAD joke...
And finally - the current background on my computer at work - Eslick riding up to the podium.
I get a chuckle out of the black shirt the guy to the right is wearing. Apparently it's a different version of "Texas Hold 'Em" than the one I played.
I'm thinking Daytona would be a worthy visit in March... 1313 |

Thanks I appreciate the thoughts, I am definitely looking forward to this weekend. I love that track and I need to do some racing and as long as all goes well I will be wrapping up 4 regional championships(Supertwins, heavyweight superbike, thunderbike, and GTO). Then we will be off to daytona to get some national championships. I look forward to riding with you as well Mike. -Jordan |

Is there a "Buell Only" parking area at VIR this weekend? Not sure yet if I can make it. But I am still hoping for a planet alignment. Not too far from Greensboro. |

Keep in mind, in true VIR fashion (which is an expensive place to run), there will likely be a gate fee. Probably $10-15 for one day. If someone knows otherwise, please post. Looks like I'll have two practice session on Sat. a.m.; then race Formula 40 (7 laps) and GTO (25 min). Sunday, one practice session then I'll probably race Heavyweight Superbike (7 laps), probably around 10:30 a.m.; and, SuperTwins (7 laps)in the afternoon.

Matt Britt update Still critical but stable in the ICU. He was improved enough that they could feed him. He is a skinny 6'2" and maybe 140# soaking wet so he didn't have any weight to lose. |
