Come on folks, jazz the place up. Post some vids and pics !!

[Palanon]

Come on folks, I lurk here and on the WERA board. LRRS is a part of CCS and I feel embarrassed that the CCS folk aren't as vocal and inane as our WERA brothers and sisters. Post them up. Us LRRS folk still have two months to go. Heck, the NEAR list is more active.

For ever, I wanted to get into motorcycle racing but, life and sh$t happens. The last few years I thought of it again. At 41 years old, I decided I was just to old to go to the track with a bunch of young guns looking to be the next Rossi.

I just happened to meet a guy who was willing to help change the tires on my Bandit. Not only was he an MSF instructor, he was also a retired racer. Tab doesn't race anymore but he keeps his schools and paperwork current enough to run open practice and what not.

The devious bastard had me pit for him enough times that I couldn't take it anymore. I learned that not only wasn't the racing community comprised of pants around the knee's Rossi wannabee's, but just your average cool folk of all ages. I started doing Tony's and working for the U.S. Marshalls ( if you ride, you should work...period ). I suck so bad that I'm thinking of seeing if they'll let me race.

Come on folks, this is just a couple of enthusiasts screwing around. I'm sure you guys and gals can do better. POST UP !!!!

Before you post crap, I know it sucks.

At the end of the slide show there is a moment of silence and a picture of the BBQ for Connor LaFrance (and other ).

I never met you but, you'll be remembered for ever. Rest in peace, Connor.

ok,
But I was saving all these highlight vids for a special occasion after I put them all into the compilation movie I'm making for my 1st year racing.


as for the rossi wanna be's you , imo, need to get to the MW circuit because I have only ran across MAYBE a thimble full of them in my rookie season (07). Most of all the racers I've met are like brothers all out for the same thing. One hell of a good time.


btw, nice vid

there's one thign about your vid that struck me deep.

the tune

back in '06 I ran into an experience that I messed up at.

I was faced with my past in the present and I failed.
It resulted in my messing myself up real bad with an injury list that is quite extensive. Minor list is fractured orbital, dislocated shoulder, lost a Lot of flesh, dismembered left index finger, tons of ligament and tissue damage, and the list does go on and on.

I prevailed.


I wasn't able to walk for two months and when I was I JUST got the pins taken out of the finger that was reattached to my hand and I HAD to ride. no question.

I had a self preservation that kept me from riding with my ego and Many many friends on and off the track that supported me though all of it.

anyways, one of my good friends made this video of my 1st time back on the track for me with him and I as video cams.

Thank you for yur video and I hope you enjoy my friend's






Edit:
ok, I was wrong (minor amnesia from a double impact syndrome)

here is the vid of my 1st time back on the track. that last one was the 1st one I settled to to be video taped on)

Thanks 

Very Cool - I like the first vid... That's me just in front on the left at the start - but it show just how bad my starts were 


BTW - The MWGP link isn't working

[gntbldr]

Here's an awesome shot of me learning to breakdance at a Jennings GP trackday.



The flying Triumph is mine. I was sideswiped by a kid on the GSXR600 - he hit me from behind into One, with his front brake locked (?!?). It was the fourth lap of the day.

And the reason I now own a race-only GSXR750!

gntbldr - Nice videos.  You got a couple of shots of me in there.  Were the graffics about passing my slow ass really necessary?  It was my first weekend of racing after only about 4 track days.

Super cool photo. I'm hoping you were ok. (Although I'll bet the bike wasn't)

Are you going to try out for "So You Think You Can Dance?"
