Brian you are nutz!

I thought I was bad with the money I spend
on my bike!

Remember that the new (post 2000) TZ's are a bit different than yours. From what I hear they are a bit harder to tune and you need to rebuild the crank more often. I am not sure if you will be able to do what you did, and run it all year without even changing the jetting! They are faster too.

You better let me ride it sometime! I'll let you ride my SV.

Edgar..
Faster is better! and I did too change the jetting! maybe once or twice  ;D Hey but baby is on the way.. my last chance to buy myself something nice. Told the wife that I wouldn't buy any new bikes untill 2010 or when the boy turns old enough to ride :D Besides.. I'll get a good baseline for the jetting and stay in that area.. it shouldn't be too difficult and I have lots of time to learn. As far as rebuilding... no problem! The bike comes with two spare cylinders, a crank, 5 sets of top end and a crap load of other misc spares. :D Oh yeah.... I'll definately let you ride the bike if you let me ride your SV! When a tap dancing baboon flies out of my butt! :D

Hey, I can see the baboon thing happening soon, so don't hold yourself up to that!

You are right, I wouldn't want you to ride the SV. You might spoil her and make her think she is on vacation riding around that slow  :o

Oh, one more thing. The deal with the wife is genius. You don't even have to wait till 2010, just let her forget it for a little while and then go buy her an expensive set of diamond earrings as a total surprise. Then wait a few weeks and mention this cool new bike that you really wish you had. Trust me, it works.

My TZ makes 72 horsepower. What are you doing this weekend?

If YTak beats you on his RS, I will take
the TZ away from you and sit you in the
corner.

 :D

OL, and Gateway does not count

Yeah, that's why I said Gateway does not count...

I guess Wytak just got himself a cheerleader!!

Would it count if I do something to your bike so that it loses 30 or 40 horses?
 ;D

 ;D

Well I'm not going to Gateway so the first blackhawk doesn't count. :) By the way.. how is he supposed to beat me if we don't race in the same classes? I guess we'll just have to go by lap times then :) And why you cheering for Wuytak? You should be cheering for me... your fellow LWGP guy. Remember when I was gridded in front of you and I moved over so you'd have room on the start? Remember that?? I could've had my miserable starts right in front of you but instead I left you room to go by. Cheer for me instead man!  ;)
Title: Re: 2003 Yamaha TZ250
Post by: Protein Filled on November 07, 2002, 12:16:16 PM
Or you could have just gridded right in front of me and I would have just bumped into you like I kept on doing to K3 and Ytak at Gingerman  ;D Sorry K3, I did not mean to knock your foot 'and' your arm off. I only wanted to knock your foot off.

Well, if I cheer for him I may get me a brand new 2003 TZ 250, now how cool would that be! Those things are bad!

Wuytak just called me... he's turning expert next year. If he beats me... I lost to an expert! ;D If I beat him? He lost to an amateur!  ;D ;D ;D By the way.. you still have your TZ?
Title: Re: 2003 Yamaha TZ250
Post by: Protein Filled on November 07, 2002, 12:23:58 PM
Wait, Wuytack is turning expert and you are sandbagging it and staying novice? Maybe I should stay novice with you! ;D ;D

Yeah, I still have it. Why, do you want to trade it straight up for your 96?

Wait just a darn minute! It's a 98 not a 96! Sandbagging? Ha! I wish I even knew how to sandbag. Now if I was even able to finish in the top 10 once in a while.. I would possibly think about turning expert.. but seeing as I made up the back of the pack... there's no sense in me turning expert. Besides.. I'm too fat to be expert. :)
Title: Re: 2003 Yamaha TZ250
Post by: TZDeSioux on November 07, 2002, 12:33:27 PM
Go ahead and try to stay novice... HAH! lets see how far you get trying to convince CCS before they hang up on yo ass!  ;D

Top Ten? Didn't you get like a 2nd place at one time? That's a lot better than top ten!!!

Hey, maybe I will change my name, that way I can throw them off at the CCS office.

As I am reading this - a question came to mind.

I am hearing between your three:   'I'm faster than you are'  (nah nah na na na nah)

Is that the same as the 'mine is bigger than your's' coversation that you guys sometimes do?   ???

Don't forget about me   ;D.  I'm beating everyone next year.  Haven't decided whether it will be as an expert or as an amateur.  With an SV superbike, nothing will stand in my way.  Ah, ha ha ha ha ha!


MAD! MAD! MAD! VROOOOOM!

At least once I lose about 20 lbs.

who's this?? Is this Sean Wyatt? Stay amateur with me... and you can come 2nd to my first every LWGP race.  ;D ;D ;D ;D Didn't you beat Wuytak at Daytona?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
SV Superbike?????? You dumping your RS250? I guess you realized that the RS250 is gay unlike Wuytack  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: 2003 Yamaha TZ250
Post by: motomadness on November 08, 2002, 05:04:56 AM
Yeah it's me. 629, soon to be just "29".  I want to go to a two digit number next year, although I think there's already an expert with that number, but no amateur has it.

The RS250 is not gay, it is just seriously lacking in the whoop-@ss department.  I need a bike that can stomp on my competitors, and pull me closer to the front of the pack.  :D :D :D The RS was fun racing this year.  I think my riding skills improved immensely riding the bike, you know, learn how to go fast by going slow.  I just can't stand getting beat off the line and left behind because I don't have the HP.

Wait until I get the SV running  ;D.  You can come in 2nd or 3rd after me anytime you wish.  Might as well get comfortable back there.

Hey getting beat off the line does suck but what can you do..  you gotta pay to play. Your riding skill did improve quite a bit. I know because I've kept track of your progress when you rode the 600 to the RS250. Who's SV are you buying? And if you even dream about beating me next year... you best wake up and apologize!  ;D

AH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You're funny.  Funny, funny, funny.

You didn't see the bike (SV) at Daytona.  The team picked it up on the way to Daytona, Truly kick@ss. 85hp pavement ripper. I'll e-mail you a photo.

Sean .. what can I say. It's a good looking bike. Did you sell the Aprilia or are you keeping it?
Title: Re: 2003 Yamaha TZ250
Post by: motomadness on November 08, 2002, 08:10:54 AM
I haven't decided yet.  I own the Aprilia.  The team owns the SV.  If I sell the Aprilia, I won't have a bike of my own.  I could use the money to buy a dirt bike or a street bike or something.

Nice, a new TZ.

Best thing to do.  You'll know that it isn't all screwed up by some goof somewhere.

Set up?  I can help.  Usually have a school before the first Blackhawk...
