Amazing

Another beautiful day in North Central Colorado.  I met up with kwells at IMI Motorsports again for yet another track day.  The day was warm & sunny - temps in the low 70s!  This is November?!?  Supposed to have some minor weather Monday & then more 60+ days next week.  May have to ride up to Estes Park for some Barbecue!  Getting close to rolling over the 15,000 mile mark on my V - lifetime, not this year.  Only about 2,700 miles for the season so far.  Want to try to get to 3,000 before I put her away for the year.

Track was fun until it got overpopulated with karts.  Can't really complain, after all - it IS a kart track.  Eleven turns in one mile.  I can get the V to over 60 on the back stretch.  Someone who really knows how to ride could probably get a little over 70.  You come off a tight hairpin onto that straight.  The karts can do a lap in about 55 seconds.  Sportbikes are closer to 1:10.  I'm probably closer to 1:20  - but I have fun!  Every time out, I get closer to the edge of the tires, so i am improving.  Hopefully, I'll have a track prepped V for next year.  Then I won't be quite so worried about scratching it up or bending / breaking parts as I am with Silver V.

Hope everyone else is having a great end of season!   8)

 Alright, way to go boys!!  I know what you mean about the weather, too. I had a day off work on Wed., so took my V for a blast around the country to the east of my house.

I'm glad that y'all are riding, even if I can't right now.  I have the Bandit down for the 60K maintenance, took the signal gen cover and starter gear cover off, to get them re-chromed, and waiting for one more piece of body plastic to arrive.  Tank is off, plugs are out to be replaced, and the one tool that I need for the valve adjustment (the 4mm squaredrive) is in a toolbox in CO.  Might be Xmas before I can get that bike on the road again.  Speaking of which, I need to run back out and drain the float bowls...   :o

The good news is I may be gainfully employed again shortly.  And, by next Spring, you'd likely have an ROV in the Pittsburgh area...   ;D

 :o Just goes to prove that the silver "V" is the fastest, by the very fact that H2O has to have a parachute fitted for his track day extra braking need's...Go H Go ;D :D :D :D :D :D :D... ;)

isn't the parachute to Stop H Stop ;D :D :D :D :D :D :D... ;)

Too bad I didn't get a chance to use the parachute - the straight isn't long enough to be a dragstrip!  Silver is fastest - even with the extra baggage!

Actually, that bag is holding my spare armored pants so kwells has something between the asphalt & his skin besides jeans.

Shoot, tell Mister Wells to get his OWN dammm riding gear.  Properly fitted, too.    ;)

kwells... I kinow you can ride.. but...I wan't to see your Vision tires look lie that!

[kwells]

yah, I agree.  Next time I head there I'll bring the V.  Need to put on some new fork seals or I'll have an oil geyser every time I hit the brakes.
