would anybody else be mad

If anybody else would have blewup a fresh, newly built 600 motor at RA this year, had it out the next day and at the builders shop 2 days after RA and still has nothing to race on for the next couple of races would anybody else be mad. Or is this just the part of racing I never knew about

I sunk alot of $$$ in racing this and last year to go racing, hell my in the last two years my bike has only 5 weekends on it with only 4 races tops a weekend, and it just doesnt seem to end with some people breaking it off in your ass . if any body wants, on the classified ads my shits up 4 sale.

OK Iam done venting but the bike and everything else is still going

Well why is the motor taking so long? Are they waiting for OEM parts? If they are just dragging their feet, I would be taking the motor back and look for someone else to do it.

Yes its part of racing. It does get frustrating. I blew up a f/c motor at Riverside in 88 one weekend during practice and grenaded one of my spares in the next practice. And my last spare decided not to hold together towards the end of the race. Really sucks when you are leading and BAM!! Shop we used was also used by a lot of the other guys in the area and usually got backlogged. Ended up with getting 1 rebuilt and buying 2 new ones (the last 2 destroyed the blocks). Ended up to be around $60K altogether wasted in one weekend. And people think racing bikes is expensive. :D

How about snagging a used motor until you get you race one back?

i guess they are loooking for used parts to replace all the junk stuff,  basicly the head etc..

If it's taking that long, go get the motor and take it to someone competent like Valley Racing. They won't put in used parts either, they'll use the right stuff, unless you tell them different. Worth every penny. Good luck, I hate to see people leaving the sport.

[jer271]

well the other problem is they where gonna eat the cost because 4an opps....i mean "they" just built it with new  parts

If it's taking that long, go get the motor and take it to someone competent like Valley Racing.

Credit where credit is due.

Alexa, Ive been told too check Vally out a few times already.

So what are you waiting for, dumbass?  Or are you starting to ENJOY having every inch of Shop Ten up your man hole?
Valley is the way to go.  Your motors will last, you'll get good results, and you'll be happy.  That would be 708-946-1440.  But personally Jeremy, I'd rather you didn't use Valley.  How would I recognise you if you weren't stalking around the pits with a pissed-off scowl on your mug and that slight, bow-legged limp that gives away a Shop Ten customer every time?

On a different topic, I was wondering.  If someone is penetrated against their will, we call that person a rape victim.  Now if someone PAYS for the privledge of being penetrated,  at a business where this sort of thing is reputed to occur daily, and if this person (JB) has been around long enough to KNOW who he's dealing with before the transaction occurs, is it really against his will? 

Maybe we should start a seperate section of this forum just for Shop Ten customers to grieve about having their bike and their season ruined.  "Hi, My name is Jeremy, and I lost my virginity and the 2006 racing season to Shop Ten."

That..... was some of the funnist shit ive ever read before Chris,
Ive been trying for the last couple of years,  not to be so pissed off all the time b.t.w.

[K3 Chris Onwiler]

    See?  Somebody around here gets my sense of humor!

[jer271]

Ive seen your humor for about three years now Iam just computer Shy and just started really typing recently

[K3 Chris Onwiler]

Oh, and don't quit.  You're too talented, and aside from that too stubborn to go out like a punk.
So what to do?  Regroup.  Valley can and will build you the motor that you expected to get before.  Just specify that you want it to last.  Ask Ed Key about the balance between longevity and max power....
You also know that Kwaterski, Lithium, and Superbike Italia can all build you safe, excellent suspension.  Choose one and stay with them for the long haul.  Suspension has to be developed.  It's important to let your tuner have a period of time to get your bike dialed in to your specific style.  All that leaves is showing up and going fast, which you already have shown that you know how to do.
Don't quit, bro.  Just get better shops in your corner!

[jer271]

Thank you very very much for the props Chris, It really means alot to me

[K3 Chris Onwiler]

 

Yeah, whatever.  I call 'em like I see 'em.  And you sure don't have to tell me how it feels to have more drive and desire than money.  Take the rest of the year off and regroup if you have to, but don't walk yet.  You have unfinished business.
(I'm merely recycling a speech Rhiannon gave me a few years back, so I can't really take credit for all this wisdom....)
