Post by: skiandclimb on February 07, 2009, 05:31:12 AM
Since I am getting back into this scene after a long, long hiatus, I thought I'd find out what is the more populal classes being run these days.

Post up which races you compete in, and what machine(s) you run in them.

LOL- Can you tell I am excited for 09?  :biggrin:

Cheers,

Ski

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

classes??? hmmm...I seem to be a big fan of  riding Friday practice, crashing and then pretty much sitting out the rest of the weekend :lmao:

Tim PROMISED he would make me faster this year....so we shall see. :biggrin:

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!

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!!!!

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.

should be able to get the carbs in the next week or 2.   if you want to go ahead and pull the springs on the valencia bike and stick em in the V-tard the AK's are a for sure thing.  I'll get em over about the same time I send the grip for the carbs

"V Tard"......I like that ...a lot.     :cheers:


Will be coming to get the R6 as soon as I can get Gu to return an FN phone call and make arrangements to pick up the trailer. :banghead:
