How does one become a member? Are we members automatically for being in BRAG? Or is that really wishful thinking? | ||
| Charlieboy6649 |
Wishful thinking. Membership is not required, but it gets you a discount, frequent E-mails, and a t-shirt if I'm not mistaken. If you do a bunch of days out there, membership would save you $$$ for sure. For the few I do, I don't think so... | ||

Snip3r: You'll need full leathers for the track. If you don't have them, they do rent them out there. And sometimes you can even get them for free. I've got a CityX as well, and it just takes some practice getting that front wheel off the ground. Plenty of throttle and let the clutch out and it will come up. If it's not, you need more gas or to let the clutch out faster. But keep in mind. You are much more likely to dump your new ride trying to do things like this. Do it too often and it will happen. Anyway I hope to see you next Saturday and and the track on the 19th. | ||

Just to be clear on the meeting spot for the ride, is it the Mobile on Southern and Signal Butte? It's seems to be the only one out there, and there were a bunch of Harleys meeting there today, but I want to be sure. I'd hate to miss the ride. P.S. the 60 is all f'd up w/ construction if you're coming from the west. | ||

who's planning on attending the 19th trachday?please let me know because i'm trying to put together a club discount. | ||
| Babyhuey |
just got off the phone with ted rich from aztrackday and he said if we get 5 or more riders together, we will get $20 off the full day or $10 off a half day.if your interested email me at abroughton@ridenow.com with your name so i can forward a complete list to ted. once he has the list you can call and preregister as you normally would.when he bills everyone out you will get the discount.remember this is only good if you prereg by midnight the monday before, so lets get the list together asap. p.s let get out there and show them just how good our bikes/riders are.if they won't give buell the respect it deserves we'll just have to take it in the corners.

| Snottsdalebueller |
I'm in too!  | ||
| Babyhuey |
come guys we at least 2-3 more!  | ||

damnit... I've sat here for about 30 minutes trying to figure out a way to go but I need ~$300 in tires/mounting and I KNOW I'm going to spend too much money in Florida this weekend... Damn... When's the next one? Sorry... I MIGHT be able to do it if I can keep my spending under control (which isn't likely...) but I won't be able to pre-register. I get paid the Friday before the trackday. Do you know if anyone could have a set of 180/55-17 and 12/70-17 Metz M3's at the track? I could register for the late session and ride down early and get the tires swapped while I'm there (If anyone has stands that is...). Are there even tire guys at track-days? Of course, this is all predicated upon whether or not I get my throttle and return cables from Dave this weekend AND I can find time to swap them out AND get my TPS reset by then.... Yeah... 20K miles and I finally need a TPS reset... | ||

i've been thinking that maybe we should cancel this saturdays ride.the weather is not looking that good.i've heard that it has already snowed up north,and it supposed to rain and snow up north again on saturday.what does everybody think? | ||
| Snottsdalebueller |
Well we really shouldn't ride to Show Low. It'll be cold and snowing when we get there. Not exactly riding weather.  Maybe we could just do a short ride. Tortilla flats or something? | ||
| Babyhuey |
that actually sounds like a pretty good idea.what does everybody else think? | ||
| Vince |
Tortilla Flats sounds good to me. | ||
| Darktwin79 |
A little something to get the blood pumping again for TRACKDAY ON THE 19TH! As far as Saturday goes I'm with anything it'll be good to be in the saddle again P/U bike tonight. We should meet earlier for the flats though. it can be a bitch getting around boaters and the fuzz later than 8. 7-730 is a little better as it allows us to get in before the traffic. After the ride all are welcome to stop by my house for some Daytona FX action starts at about 10:30 brews and BBQ FOR ALL.       | ||
| Snottsdalebueller |
So are we meeting at the mobil on signal butte and US60 at 7am then? I'll be there one way or the other. Two up again since everyone tells me I'm faster that way... | ||
| Darktwin79 |
7:30-8 is fine saturdays are usually pretty mild. | ||
| Vince |
it's 7:12am and it has been raining, hard, since midnite. i'm gonna have to pass on the ride. after today it probably won't rain for another 140 days.  | ||

Well it looks like we got a little of the white stuff! I was about 30 up the 87 when I rann into a winter ghetto land cars lined up both sides of the freeway snow all over the road. All in all it was pretty damn chilly. I did find out that the 1250 kit was definitley worth the dough I dumped into it.      | ||
| Bartimus |
Nice pics Jeremy, what 1250 kit did you get? was it NRHS? It sure looks cold! B | ||
| Careyj |
J, I'm suprised I didn't see you up there, we took the dogs up there to play in the snow. | ||

Bart: It was the Revolution 1250 it came with the nikasil coated cylinders black powder coated outer. CP pistons bumped the compression from 9.8 to 10 to 1 with stage 1 heads, didnt want to screw with the heads to much they flow pretty well as it is. Yes it was pretty chilly I wore my moto style gloves that let all the air in. Bike sure does run good in 30 degree air. | ||
| Hattori_hanzo |
I know that road....  from a few years back | ||
| Charlieboy6649 |
See you guys on the 19th...   | ||
| Darktwin79 |
Looks like your flying solo on this one. I cant make it this round. I dont think Andrew or Kelly are going either. We are planning on the April 2nd event. | ||
| Vince |
Hey Jeremy, did you get my email to register for the 4/6 BRAG Event? | ||
| Darktwin79 |
Yes! your all set  | ||
| Snottsdalebueller |
Well I've requested that thursday off, so hopefully I get it. If not I've got another someone who will trade with me, but then I have to work his overnight shift that sat. Either way I'm there! |
