are these 2 experts/amatures? fast guys/slow guys? If slow amatures, maybe they could spend more time conditioning then worrying about non stop babble on the net

Between the two of them, there's about 3 races worth of experience.  Counting first-lap crashing as a completed race.

But according to their brochures, they've both turned down Honda MotoGP offers.

Nope. I have more than 3 myself  ;)

Still looking forward to some proof, Mr. Former WERA Racer.  ;D

You coming to Grattan for the 6 hour next weekend  ???  I'm going to do the 6 hour, and some sprints in HWT.

You can't count FUTURE races as past experience. Nice try, though.  ;D

I'm not.  I was just asking if you were gonna be there.  ???

[Old808]

Nah, I ain't going. Did you get that LP fueling nozzle?  Does it fit the Mille?

p.s. You didn't fool me by changing topics, btw. Still waiting for proof. ;)

Huh  ??? Topics?

I'm working on the LP fuel nozzle.  Dave has one for me.  I sent him an email and waiting on response.  I doubt it will fit the Mille without a little fabrication to the gas tank.  To give you an idea, the fuel opening on the Mille is maybe a few CM bigger than a standard gas pump (gas station) nozzle, so fueling is a pain in the ass.  It's hard not to spill fuel when refueling, especially with a full gas can.  I carried extra rags last year because of it on my other Mille (03' R) and Aprilia didn't change it.  So, I'm gonna figure it out once the nozzle gets here.  I think I'll be able to cut enough away to get a good fuel opening.

I also want to change the plates of the slipper clutch if I get time, but I'm waiting on a call back on that, and my mechanic is going to set up the suspension and geometry this week.  I don't play with settings.  He's never done me wrong, so he's the man as far as I'm concerned.

and I gotta get new toe sliders for my boots. Almost forgot.  :o

[Old808]

Cutting what? The opening on the bike?  ???  Damn good thing there will be fire extinguishers on hand.  ;D  Do older models have the same tiny opening?  If not, maybe you get a cap from one?

[cornercamping]

Yeah, I'll have to take the cap off the bike completely, and cut the hole bigger.  The tank is composite, so a jig saw or something will cut right thru.  The tank on the 04' is completely different from the 03', but the 00-03' are the same thing.  Both the new generation and the old one have the same size opening.  The cap isnt the problem, its the opening on the tank.  

We'll have a fire extingusher on hand too

 ;D
