Haha thanks, it was definitely a bow your head in shame moment. Yes the bike was covered in mud as was my white suit. Ill think twice about white gear from now on... Live and learn

Well it got me on Sunday, first session 3rd lap. Was way too confident in the first session, my apologies to anyone unhappy with my passing. Got what was coming to me though. Luckily only a busted rearset (had a spare) and rear spool, missed one session. http://youtu.be/W3O8MaE4WkM?t=3m22s...

If you pay the site supporter fee, you can go to trash talk and there's a thread with 112 replies of people all feeling what your feeling about the mail strike. Sorry to hear your out of a track day though.

Update per website: "June 21st - We are currently grading the roadways with paving to begin Monday July 4th (we were expecting it to be next week but our contractor is behind on other jobs due to the spring weather and had to back us up a week) We expect paving to take 5 to 7 days. Once...

Yeah it has gone downhill for sure. They (wera? forum mods?) seen it as an opportunity to start making money and started charging to post adds to their new site and locked the classifieds on the forum. Since then it appears they only have about 1/4 of the stuff for sale on their paid site and...

Agreed, hence I haven't personally gone down that road. If you do take pride in manufacturing your own machine and have the knowledge in doing so, a cheap write-off is a good way to start though as long as your also knowledgable on what to look for frame/forks etc.. Buying a prepped bike IS...

Another +1 for SBTG. Went down this spring and picked up bodywork and a suit, with a discount on the already closeout priced suit. Declared $1200ish at the boarder after only being over a few hours, with reciepts too, and wasn't charged any duty or taxes at all. May have gotten lucky... The guys...

I'd be weary on the KM's but what the hell for the price. As for starting track days, bodywork and a slip on is all you really need. Then just open your wallet from there. That's a good deal too dricked for your bike, where did you find yours?

Inside joke? Anyways, as everyone has mentioned, not many options out there for track bikes. Kijiji, Forums, Craigslist maybe? Or just talking to people too, come out to a track day and shoot the breeze and see if anyone knows a guy who knows a guy whos trying to get rid of a track bike. There...

Right on Kelvyn, Reed and I are also coming up from London on the Sunday and in beginner group. Good to hear you must have been able to get the sheared bolt out. Here's my setup, be sure to stop by.

Just booked for the Sunday, Saturday is 30% chance of wetness and Sunday 0% so why not. Anyone else for the Sunday track day?

Looks like a blast! Nice editing too, like how you did the start with the picture naming off. Who ran the day? Looks like only one of the three videos is up now too.

Take it to the track man, you'll be amazed at how quick you will progress. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VruWHHEnZGw&feature=share

There's a place in London "London Custom Ear Plugs" that I had some custom earplugs made. Paid $80 I think. They had custom plugs with earphones advertised which arn't cheap. I think it was $300 for Bose ear plugs and slightly less if you use your own ear plugs. Personally, if I want to listen...

Right on, yeah you guys looked toasty last time with only the couple umbrellas. I was going to ask you too, whats the proper method of getting the sheared bolt out? Any idea how you plan to tackle that? I think I have extra spools hanging around but according to...

For some reason you attached a "portrait of sniper in camouflage". To give you a hand, I think this is the video you were trying to post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ov43cWkYIA&feature=player_embedded The story of this guy is on the WERA forums http://forums.13x.com/showthread.php?t=287995...

For some reason, I find this guy absolutely hilarious. NOTE: Plenty of N-bombs and explicit language, would not recommend watching at work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcGiCq29DGM

Good to hear your alright Kelvyn! Probably best case scenario for a crash considering there was not enough damage to sideline you or your bike. Open track sounds like a blast too. Congrats on the knee down and quicker pace! Are you planning on heading to the GWB next weekend?

That's awesome news! So lets say asphalt down week of the 27th, following that is this "curing time" which there's many different opinions on. Any idea how long the owner plans to let the track sit before opening it up? The SOAR races in August should obviously run as scheduled, I've got a day...

To report back, its getting better. Not having to refresh as much. Not sure if people are working on it, but it is improving.
