SV 650s that seem to be multiplying like rabbits....I don't get to ride the cool one with all the cool stuff. :wah:

Step one... get that bike sprung right and chassis setup, I predict you'll cut 2-3 seconds outta the gate!
you better ride the cool one with the cool stuff!! as long as you leave off the whole "crashing it in practice" thing! thats MY job!! haha
yo ski, I try to race as much as I can in a given weekend. With travel expenses being a big part of the financial equation I want to squeeze as much as I can into any weekend.
this year that'll be LW; sb, gp, GTL and possilbly thunderbike and supertwins... and weekends that I race the R6 and the SV will be something like LW; SB/GP/GT. MWSS/SB and HWSS/SB. if the budget holds I could be a busy boy!
picked up a second set of rims this weekend for the 6, plan is to run lots and lots!

GREAT...two set of wheels to polish..... :banghead:
all BS aside...already working on the chassis set up, that is primarily what we are working on with the "Motarded SV", now as for the Valencia bike.....WE GOT GO FAST GOODIES in the mail this week....
the buying spree has begun for Timmay!I keep telling Becky its an INVESTMENT ::)
I kinda figured MW would still be popular classes. Thats one of the reasons I am excited about getting out in Supertwins & GTO. I'm not sure what else I will run just now, if any others. I need to keep this season on the cheap, or my wife will kick my ass and pull the proverbial plug on 2010 before it begins!
I think, honestly, I am just as excited to be back in the paddock as I am getting back into CCS. I ran the MCRA Challenge Series last year and had a blast. I did a few TD's in the years prior to that....but I have always wanted to get back to this side of things.
OK, so who else is running AM Supertwins in Great Plains region this year? And more importantly- how fast are you? LOL!!!!

ah............... yeh..............ah my wife humors me with that lie too :kissy: :lmao:
MW SS,SB,GTU,and sometimes HW SS on the R6. Unlimited SS,SB,GTO on the R1
Last year on the SV650 LWSS, SB, GP, GTL and an occasional Thunderbike race. Same thing this year but on the 1000ds. Considering less SS since no one runs it and doing more thunderbike.
I'm going to ride my bone stock 848 in old guy class and supertwins. Maybe I can keep up with some folks, maybe.
I'm an amatuer in:
HW SS, F-40 and GTO
I'm sure it'll be interesting.
