We're slow huh? Well, I wonder why....

First of all, you gotta have a wire lose to race a motorcycle on your knee, that means all of you are nuts. Second, you gotta have a lot of HP and a good set up to do well in a national at RA. I don't care who you are, or how big your bizalls are. Come out of 14 side by side with a factory guy and look at him leave you like he just stole a million dollars from you, poof..... he's gone. If you don't have factory HP and suspension, you will not do well (top 10) in a national. If you don't chase the guy in front of you like he just stole one of your bizalls, you'll suck. If you don't set up the chasis well, you will suck. I've seen some club guys run in the corners almost as fast as the factory guys only to get blazed on the straights. I wonder why?
At least me and Weeden had the bizalls to try and race against the factory guys. But we had neither the HP nor the suspension to keep up.......simple as that. Plus they have bikes that look like ours, but they are TOTALLY different. My shock cost $1,200, Aaron Yates shock cost $18,000 and that's on a 600 ss bike. And he's got the WHOLE factory supplying him with any special part that he needs to beat you VERY easily......parts that you can't get. Now, as far as the privateers go......and I won't say any names,  they cheat so much it's ridiculous and they still get beat down like some Ho's that are hidin the money from their pimp. Think I'm bitchin? Come talk to me after you've entered a national. You will be humbled. Guaranteed.
I'm sure everbody knows who Doug ( former recent AMA superbike champion, former Moto GP rider ) Chandler is. Well, look what he did in the so called "slow" CCS races at Daytona this past weekend. He was riding a so called factory "supported" honda, and he got his ass bent ova.
Doug Chandler is a super talented rider by the way.
When he road for the "factory" Kawasaki team he kicked alot of ass in the 600 class. HMMM.......I wonder why? Maybe it's a combination of rider and bike? Wonder how he would have done on a full "factory" honda......Case Closed.

Forgive me as I'm apparently dim.  

What's your point?

I think he is reacting to my "New Goal for the Year" post where a couple of people called their results at Road America disappointing.

Where as my point was to say their results, though humbling as indicated, are my goal :)

Did chandler compete at the CCS event?

Chandler finished 6th in the Superbike, and 12th in the Sportbike race. They said he was trying to set up his bike, and not trying to be competitive...

Tez is just pissed that he doesn't have a factory ride.  He could probably do one justice.  Hey Tez!  Tell you what.  I'll be your agent, and we'll get you on with Kaw.  You and Gadson could be the 2 pronged Black Attack.  I get the standard 20% fee...

Can you guys loan me some money so I can go prove you right?  I'd love to get the chance someday to ride in an AMA National!  Congrats on even getting a shot and qualifying!   Someday...

Sell your Acura and the wife's car.  Remember to buy her a gun for safety!  This should get you enough money for one good SS bike and maybe four rounds.

LOL...the Acura IS the wife's car!  I worked in the car biz for a couple years and had a demo to drive, so I had sold my car.  Got rid of the streetbike for the racer and now I gotta find a cheap tow vehicle to use and to get around town with.   ;D

I second that.

I just have to face the fact that I have to get a REAL GP bike before that happens. :(  
Although it's kinda like dating a girl that you know isn't 'the one'... why spend the time/money?... well sometimes ya gotta take what you can get while it's fun and affordable.

[MELK-MAN]

or.... you could just have fun and accept things as they are. Im hoping to have a friggin blast in CCS/club level racing. Im kinda fast.. but am not chasing a dream or anything. just havin fun. For those guys looking for factory rides.. go for it. Better to have tried than look back and say "what if..." In the end, have fun.
