....like good books on the NY Times best seller's list.
....home improvement ideas.
....sites that offer helpful advice as to bike setup and trouble shooting.
Do you need any more ideas?
Dawn ;D
P.S. I waiting to know what Paul's new number is, and weather or not he will be AM or EX next year. I am waiting to place an order and I need that info. :-[
yep exaxtly what I was thinking. Those are some fine adult material :)
Me too.. I'm dying here waiting. I've been checking this site constantly hoping Tiff would post something. Paul will be expert this year ;D. As for me.. I'll be amateur again since last year was my first year and I sucked. :)
Or like Asia Carrera materials. She has a ton of advice for the man suffering from anticipation :-X

This was our second year of racing and we did OK. Before sending in our letter along with our renewal we talked it over and this is some of the reason's why we sent in our letter.
We race an SV - So does, Ed Key, Mike Reibe, Edgar Dorn, just to name a few. Paul's a big guy, plus we can't afford to stick the money into the bike like some of the others. So..... we send in our please, please, please keep me an Amature letter in the hope that we could make as many of the races as we can and possibly get the AM LWSS championship.
We'll have to see.

Me: Pacing the floor in the living room watching John pacing the floor in the garage because there's too much floor space in there because a certain race bike is 3 hours away in SOMEBODY ELSE'S garage being touched by SOMEBODY ELSE's wrenches... You should see the dirty looks I get when he asks me when she will be coming home!
Quotea certain race bike is 3 hours away
Only 3 hrs? I'm jealous. My engine is on the other side of the country! (Literally...I'm in AZ, it's in MA). And a bike with a hole where the engine used to be isn't very fun to play with.
I think I'll re-arrange the tote bins that have all the race stuff in them. And the toolbox. And my sock drawer.
Only 44 more days until race day :-/

John - LOL!!!!
I offered to take Paul's SV to the dealership to have the valve lash checked and the carbs sincronized (spelling ?). He shot me a look and said, "No one's touching that bike. I will do it." :o
I was just trying to be nice since he works six days a week.
Dawn :)
At least you have too much time. My race is next weekend and I was just told that the top-end parts that I NEED aren't here from Japan yet. They are supposed to be here next week so I get to change out my top end immediately after getting to the track. Next year I will make sure to have at least 5 or 6 bikes ready so this never happens again :).

Is that wishful thinking, if not, could you use another rider for one of those bikes?
Dawn ;D
;)Dawn, it's just our female nature to try and be practical and helpful! (uhhh yeah... that's my story and I'm sticking to it :P) I honestly figured he'd be busy with the "YSR Project" and would welcome not having to deal with my front end rebuild and all that. You'd think I'd suggested taking him to the vet to be 'fixed!
Men... gotta love 'em... especially since he's given up all his vacation time just so I can indulge in my obsession.
U think ya'll are antsy...try remembering back to the wait before your very first race...I'm going crazy. Two weeks from today I take Kinsey's school and two weeks from tomorrow I ride my first race! Hooray!!! Now if I could just get some sleep and concentrate at work, I'd be good to go.
My current stable includes a '94 TZ125, an '00 RC51 and a '99 ZX6r. I am currently in the process of buying a '98 TZ125 and will likely buy another one towards the end of this year. Then, over christmas I plan to buy a TZ250. SO my total for next season should be 3-TZ125's 1-RC51 1-TZ250 and I'm gonna try to sell the ZX cause I don't think my garage is gonna be big enough. Oh yeah, I may even make some of the bikes available in Dec/Jan at track days just for you people stuck in the snow. :)

Kim:
I'll stick with that story too. ;)
Speaking of vets - Marty just came back from the vet. He is no longer our 'one nut wonder.' Now he is our 'no nut wonder.' ;D

I just got home and jumped on to check if the list was up. I feel for you. Did you check the other lists to see if your first choice number was taken? Mine was taken but fortunately for me I think it was a guy in another region. Atleast I know my petition has been approved. I never really had a doubt about it getting approved due to my poor perfomance last year. Well I'm going to hang on here and hope :)
