Only six weeks to our first race date and I feel like I am bouncing off the walls already. ::) This is how I know I have spring fever.
While driving to work in your car or truck, but you imagine yourself on your motorcycle. You know what gear you are in, you can feel your hands, feet and body moving with the road. You being to apex the corners (be sure there is no on comming traffic or cops - something about a yellow line? :-/).
I can't find anything interesting to watch on TV.... Work's boring.....
How can you tell when you have spring fever?
Dawn :)
...I wear my new Arai helmet when I watch tv in my LazyBoy...My wife yells..The Neibors are gonna think were weird! Oh and my new back protector is kinda uncomfortable sitting for a while too :-[

LOL!!!!
I don't think your weird, but then again I don't live with you :-/ If I passed your house and saw you sitting there, I would laugh out loud and tell Paul, "there is someone we need to get to know."
Dawn :)
I play riding spirits and moto gp2 with my helmet on. I love big screens and surround sound! ;D you should try it it may help
I played WSB on my computer while I was 'breaking' in my new leathers, boots, helmet and gloves ;D
6 days til we get on track at Daytona!!! racing is finally here again!
Well I missed racing so much, I was thinking about daytona everyday, I watched the Rolex 24 hour race, then I watched the 500... I never watch Nascar, but it was snowing 2 feet here, and daytona was just soooooo much nicer...
The bike is 2 feet away from my bed so I can work on it, look at it, and touch and sit on it. Can't wait!!!
I made the mistake of riding my street bike today. Late braking and early on the gas out of the corners with sand is not a good combo. Had fun anyway. Can't wait till the first race. (MAM with CRA) Dawn, you need to talk me into hitting the first Blackhawk race. ;) Please!!
I wish it was still winter :-/
I have 3 weeks to swap my cracked GSXR frame, get my motor built/supersported, paint my bodywork, get my leathers sewn back together (got them cut-off me @ Gateway), and get a replacement Arai :P
If I get rolling on it this weekend, I just might make it :D ;)
Dawn

I have a tendency to put all my race gear on and hang off my couch and drag my knee on the hardwood floor. I usually have to sleep on the same counch if my wife catches me doing that. ???
Oh my!!!!
I'm so glad we are not the only ones!
Tigerblade - Paul's SV looks the same as your RC. LOL!!!!
Dawn ;D

I just hope I can get the thing back together. I'll breathe a huge sigh of relief when I hit the button and hear it come to life! ::)

It's a freeken blizzard out there again. Oh well, it is only February.

LOL!!!!
At least Paul's bike still has the front tire on it!
Dawn ;D
That's a motorcycle on those stands? ;D 3 days till Moroso down here. Get my first experience with the temp in the high 80's-low 90's and full leathers. I guess I'll find out just how bad of shape I'm really in.
Looks like a salvage bike, doesn't it? :-[
At least the undertail is almost finished. Hope it works with the transponders...

3 weeks ........................ fingers crossed for 70 ......
anyone in the midwest think im a dreeeeeamer ???
Paul is pacing around the house, anxiously awaiting the parts he ordered..... Since he couldn't fire up the SV (it's still in pieces) he put the battery in and the battery charger on the 'busa and fired it up.
Too cool! ;D The only bad thing is now I have to open up the doors to the let the fumes out and it's cold outside! :-/
Only 14 days 'til Blackhawk! I sure hope it doesn't snow.
Dawn :)
Got tires, steering damper and brake pads yesterday. Still waiting on the Penske... :(
I'm doing a track day in Nashville on Sunday to sort out the new bike. I wanna hit S_D school ready to roll!
