If I can make it, I'll bring both bikes too. :victory-s

[Alex9101]

I talked to my supervisor today and she said there shouldn't be a problem... :yes:so I guess I am free to go...:ride: the only thing I am worrying now is the weather!!
Looks like we might have a pretty big group for this trackday!
And is there any way to find out how many spots left?

[poisonivyR1]

[TOM-CAT]

Well I got my time off approved. :rad: I will be signing up this weekend. :victory-s :ride: Got a little work left to do on the Thunder kitty, then all should be good.

The only rub is that I forgot that I have a work obligation the Sunday before the track day, so I won't be able to head up early. Work out the details later.

Like Alex said, hope the weather gods play ball. :thumbup:

[poisonivyR1]

No kidding, long time no see, Eric. :drinking:

Yeah, I am thinking about heading up that morning, as well. I would probably take off around 5am, unless I run up the night before. Don't wanna be too tired for the drive home. :pooped:

[KnightReiteR]

Get a room the night before. I'll even buy the ice cream and we can spoon while watching Grey's Anatomy.

:yes: Fine with me, you will take your regular place as the little spoon, of course.

:nutkick

[TOM-CAT]

Registration form faxed in. :rad:

Still working on finishing up the Thundercat (just prepping stuff), but am planning to bring both bikes either way. :ride: :ride:

So sound off, who else is going? $175 is a cheap track day. Good deals don't wait around. :smilewink

You guys crack me up!:hump Have fun on the track.:ride:

[Alex9101]

Well.. I have some bad news....
I got a call from Russian consulate and they told me my passport is ready and I have to go and get it... (which is awesome by itself...)
So I'll be going to San Fran Monday, had to take the day off work for it and I don't think they'll let me leave next Monday too...
The good thing is that I am waiting on the rearset, so I should be race legal very soon so may be next month... :sad::sad::sad:

This sucks Monkey Balls!!!! but congrats on your passport! It's kinda important!

I was planning on going to this track day as well, but it's just not working out! Maybe next month....

[TOM-CAT]

Almost got the T-Kitty ready for the track. I have been stripping it down to track only prep, loosing all the lights and unused wire-harnesses. But the headlight is a major portion of the front fairing, so I had to make a custom fiberglass piece to fill the hole.

This was my first time working with fiberglass. I could do a much better job now that I have a little experience under my belt, but this piece should work fine for its intended purpose.

I didn't want to put much effort into making it look pretty, cause I really don't care. But I also couldn't resist personalizing it a little. :smilewink

Primer white base over the resin, tape, spray and remove tape....



...Next comes clear, just for a little protection.

[wesleyw]

very nice touch!

[poisonivyR1]

thats some cool graphics

Looks like your bike will be the highest on the food-chain Vis-à-vis the mandibles of death. Good luck Tom A.K.A. Soup spoon.:clapping:

[Alex9101]

LoL Nice!!! :rad:

[TOM-CAT]

... Good luck Tom A.K.A. Soup spoon.:clapping:

"Soup spoon"? :thinking: :idunno: :nutkick

[wesleyw]

As opposed to being a ladel...or god forbid...a tea-spoon. :P

[ZX-14]

Do I, need to spell-out that you are the domineering soup spoon to the quavering little teaspoon.:bow:

Have fun at the track and get some cool pictures like Anton's, if possible.http://www.eugenesportbike.com/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif

[wesleyw]

mmmm...soup. ;)

[TOM-CAT]

Just got word the other day that KnightRider will not be attending the track day. So unless someone else is coming, it looks like it is just going to be Eric and I (like usual :tongue: ). :ride::ride:

I am definitely going, but I got a nasty hornet sting on my leg the other day, and am having to take meds for it. Luckily the meds are a 5 day course. So I should be all better by Monday. :rad:

(The pic doesn't do it justice, and the meds have reduced the swelling and redness quite a bit. I got stung Sunday, and it took about a day to start swelling and become quite painful.)

[ZX-14]

As soon as practicable, apply common household ammonia to the area with a cotton ball. But it sounds like you are highly allergic to the venom, so it might not be as efficacious with you.

[poisonivyR1]

jeeze tom thats nasty
hope it wont stop you from having fun

[TOM-CAT]

I have had many bee stings over the course of my short life, but have never had a reaction like this before. Even the initial sting seemed to pack a punch a few times that of a normal bee sting. Like getting shot in the leg with a hot nail.

I have even been stung over my eye and had only a mild reaction by comparison.

:idunno:

I have heard that you can build up an allergy to bee stings and the like, from multiple exposures over time. I certainly hope that is not the case, because I am quite partial to spending time outdoors, and bee stings are just unavoidable from time to time.

[TOM-CAT]

jeeze tom thats nasty
hope it wont stop you from having fun

The only thing that could stop me from having fun at a track day, would be not going. :rad:

[wesleyw]

Its also possible you got stung by a bee that had been feasting on something poisonous...happens all the time down where I grew up because of the rattle snakes...allergies to bee stings suck!

[TOM-CAT]

Woohoo! Finally almost done prepping the T-kitty. :rolleyes: Just finished mounting the headlight filler. :rad:


Pics were taken on the cell phone. So they suck. :tongue:

[MTS620]

I like it!

[TOM-CAT]

Well after all that work getting the T-Cat track ready. She won't fire. :yell:Thought it was electrical. Drained the battery trying to fire her up, but now I am thinking the fuel went bad in the bike. So she will be a no show at this track day. :mecry:

Just have the R6 to run, so I will have to dial it back a bit. :ride: Don't wanna throw that one down the tarmac. :rolleyes:

[ZX-14]

Sorry to hear that Tom, you put so much work into the front of your T-Cat.

[Ton4820]

So how was it? :yes: :clapping:

[TOM-CAT]

Eric and I had fun out there. :ride: :ride:

It was kinda hot but not unbearable. The wind picked up in the afternoon, and took a few casualties. One of whom was Eric's second pop-up canopy. We were both out on the track when it happened. But the story goes that the Pirelli tire guy's two canopies flew over the trailer and landed on Eric's canopy and smooshed it. :sad:

There were also some nice bikes out at the event. At least two Desmos, a couple 1198s, some 1098s, and 848s. An RC8, some hypermotards, supermotards, lots of race bikes, etc. etc.

All in all, a good day. :thumbup:

(Now to get ready for Sundays track day. :tongue: )

[poisonivyR1]

Hey Eric, don't forget to add Competition Works to your list of Sponsors in your signature line. :thumbup: :clapping:
