We think that any one who runs amateur LWSS should stay home.

I'll be there, but I am not Pulling the Ice tires of my Pit bike just yet...
Never know, I might be slow but if the track is covered in snow I will at least have traction ;D

You better be careful there Rob.  Kim is my friend and if you get two beautiful (we look great for our age group), young (compared to an 80 year old), gorgeous (no matter what you say, we ARE better looking than the dog!) women upset - it could make your weekend not so fun.   :-*

I understand the original phrase; just didn't think the BBS would use that context.  In other words, it could have changed it to "my buttocks".  

Wow.  I must be uber-bored.   ;D

Umm, I hope to be there if I can get everything together in time. I need to do some front suspension oil adjustments, re do some of the old safety wire, paint, mount a tail, and change the oil and filter.  Less than 1 month!

I haven't even started working on my new bike it's still in full street trim BUT it does have a whopping 50 miles on it...I'm still waiting for parts.  I guess I'm gonna have to bust my butt on this one.. ;D

Hey Tobias.. is Paul coming out for the first weekend too?

We'll be there... all four days.

LOL, Dawn... Between the two of us, Rob won't stand a chance - on or off the track!  The closest he'll get to my bike will be on the grid before the green flag!

Rob... before you even THINK of working that evil mojo remember... you won't be the only one standing in a corner this year!! ;)  See you in HWSS!

Rev DR
Paul said he will be there if the weather is ok. I think he has flashbacks of RA last spring. What was the wind chill that day? I hope he goes he has been my mr miaggi this off season with the prep of my bike. Then again if he doesn't go he can't rip me for how slow I am. Forget that he'll rip me anyway

I'll be there.  I registered for the VRS day, so I hope to be one of the first to lay rubber on the track.   8)
Title: Re: Who's coming to Blackhawk?
Post by: Chef on March 07, 2003, 10:48:56 AM
im tryin......


anyone wanna volunteer some help ???

i could use uhhmm....

a ride (to and from chicago :) )

uhhh, a bike (you know, something set up, and fast  ;) )

uh place to stay (you know it's gonna be cold at nite  ::) )

and that aught to do it (i thought the list would be longer  :D )

of course the bike needs rubber, fuel and warmers  8)
but hey, i got my suit, helmet, boots and gloves.....

and i'll even spring for beer in the evening (the least i could do  ;D )

I'll come and hang out even if i cant put some rubber down, i miss that place
(doubt that im alone on that one)

ikey ;D

Post by: the_weggie_man on March 07, 2003, 11:43:12 AM
Yep, Laurel, Kristen and I will be there.  Laurel and I will probably corner work. With a fresh fast track and little traction due to probable cool weather me thinks there will be a need for more workers. Anyone else care to help your racing buddies?

Super Duck, You're absolutely right, GIVEN I have the materials. I still need $ to afford a tail, and paint, etc. So, it's also a matter of getting enough $ in time to get that stuff done. We shall see. I'm hoping it gets warm enough to paint before the first BHF. My sponsor will be paying (when they send the check  ::)) for a bike that looks presentable. I hope to be able to give that to them

Nate, use a rattle can and follow Roger's advice on spotty paint jobs: Just cover the runs with a sticker.  ;)

Alexa,

I will be using a rattle can.   ;D

Making it simple, too: All yellow. But, I still need some warmth to paint. Maybe the 15th/16th? According to the forecast as of now, its supposed to be a high of like 47 those days. That is, if I can get my tail by then. Argh. Sponsor........Must........Send..........$$$

Title: Re: Who's coming to Blackhawk?
Post by: spyderchick on March 07, 2003, 05:25:21 PM
That's cool Nate. Remember, nice light even strokes, overlapping the previous pass by just a bit. Not too dry, not too wet. Allow enough time for each coat to flash off before you apply the next. If you can add those cool halogen lights to your setup, you can put each piece in front of them to provide more heat and accelerate the drying process. Patience is key, young grasshopper. Too much paint and you get runs and baggers. And remember...there are always those stickers.

Post by: Nate R on March 07, 2003, 09:14:04 PM
What bike?

Hmm, there seems to be a good crop of new, SV riding Ams this year again.  

Who is all gonna be in the MW on an SV as a first year am?

LWSS looks like it'll be a lot of fun. I'm hoping to get to know a lot of you SV Ams, as well as other racers. (And I especially hope you other LWSS racers get to know the back of my bike pretty well  ;)  Time will tell if I can ride quickly or not.

#128 -- Tom     SV (come on out that first weekend, lets dice!)

#281?  Steviebee  Yellow ?

#548 --- Nate R -- Yellow SV w/ Sharkskinz and GSXR tail

#996 - Not 1st year, but Paul will be there. Blue and red SV w/ GSXR bodywork again this year?

 if i cant make it, an early good luck (and a warm april 5th) to all! (especially that guy named nate ;) lol)....

Well....  sort of.

It will have some sort of fairing and belly pan on it.  As of todays date the only part that is assembled is the front forks are in the triple clamps, the front tire is on and the engine has not been removed from the frame.  Other than that, the bike is in pieces.

I can just see it.  We will be having a few nights just before the first race weekend where we will be up until midnight or later.   ::)

OK - I guess I lead a sheltered life.  I had no idea what that word meant so I tried looking it up in my dictionary, it wasn't there.  Good thing there is a slang dictionary on line.   ::)
