Title: Yeah, I raced one...is it really the dark side? LOL!
Post by: Super Dave on August 27, 2008, 10:16:30 AM
I raced a pretty stock Buell on Sunday.  Was actually pretty fun, but I've raced bikes built during a 40 year period...I find that they are all fun to race, but the Buell was cool...   :cheers:

So Dave, are you making the move to Buell Alley? By the way, the gixxer performed awesome last weekend. Thanks, again!

Hey, thank you!  Did you get the email with the link to the guy that fixes wheels?

Moving?  I'm unsure yet.  I don't have a pit bike, and that's a long way to walk.  I might move a little bit, but I think I'll stay near Tom Menke and Tommy Mason.

Was a weird feeling running in HWSB with you on the Buell. But pretty cool too!
You looked comfortable on it during that shake down.

How was the feedback from it compared to an inline 4?

Well, I keep saying it...LOL!

It's got two wheels like the rest of them.   :biggrin:

It was a little slow running a LWSS bike in HWSB.  Was a bit disappointed with my not being able to hang with the group though, personally.  But it's just so stock, so what am I to expect from even myself?  It was a decent shake down at least.  I have things to learn, and maybe a couple more tools to buy.

Its in the garage! I was hoping to do Thunderbike with ASRA at Summit coming up, but the broken ankle changed my finacnes for the rest of the year. Being off work for 4 weeks with no $$$$'s. So I will have to wait untill next season.

I think a big lag screw might help with the ankle.   :biggrin:

I'll do Thunderbike next time.  It was still apart on Saturday with me working on it yet.

I was just happy to get to the track on Sunday.   :thumb:
