After 6 years of missing the spring Slimey Crud, the rational side of my mind has been compromised and I'm going. I know the turn out in Leland will be...
I think the reason you always miss the Spring Crud Richard is because it seems like this particular weekend has always sucked. The last time I rode to the...
Hey Guy's I read "The Pace" and I know now more than ever I want to ride like that. To be honest with you I have hit the throttle hard a few times. In fact,...
Here are some pictures for all the wanna be's out there. hahahaha j/k It was wayyyyyyy too chilly. But managed to have fun regardless. The pics are of Richard...
Richard gets the hard corps award. Thanks for making me feel even more like a whimp! ;-) Post on what you heard and saw. I got some yard work done and watched...
... Nope. I think Darwin was right about pretty much everything. With my motorcycle out of commission I thought I would seize the opportunity to watch a little...
... Yep. I made a race on satuday, but by the end of 8 laps (I didn't get lapped WOOHOO!!!!) my hands were numb, aching, and not doing very well with the...
... You'll have to tell us how it went, Richard. I had a nice weekend in Worthington riding little bikes in a parking lot. It snowed enough to get the braking...
I know there is a "heat index", but now I am confident there is a "cold index." 4:15 A.M. and I'm standing in a dry alley staring at a partly cloudy sky in my...
Wow! Great report! One question: Did y'all have electrics on that ride? Tom G Red Ducati Monster ... From: "Richard" < I know there is a "heat index", but...
Giacomo you forgot one of the best pics!! http://tinyurl.com/776o4 ... Later Roger R Chaska, MN '98 PC800W - Ketchup '01 CBR929RR Y/B - Stinger '99 Arctic Cat...
Hey Crazy T-- Up at BIR all weekend but wanted to chime in on a few of your thoughts. Mark was right when he told you that the slab is a lot harder on you than...
Another successful CRA race weekend at BIR. DAMN was it cold and I can now add racing in the snow to my list of accomplishments. Quick run down. My new to me...
Excellent Karl! Looks like you're a contender in Expert already. With the right equipment (sorry Pat) you'll be spraying champagne a lot this summer ;-) Good...
Hey Dan - How did it go? Was the bike ok, or did it act up? Let's hear some stories from the CRA race weekend! Dave ... On Behalf Of John Gateley Subject:...
... Yeah, that first race was pretty amazing. I didn't know about the whole drag racing chemical thing. Now that I have been told, I'm even more amazed that...
... Actually, only I did, and Brian only had regular street gloves, but multiple non-cotton layers. Giacomo had magic chaps on that somehow kept him warm, but...
Thanks Mark. Pat's bike may be down on power, but it's the most stable SV I've ever piloted. It railed through turns 1 and 2 with great confidence all...
About some cold riding. A few years ago some of us went on a ride. While it didn't snow on us it rained and was about 50 degrees. If that. Standing under a...
Hey John, Taco's is a Mayslacks deal, right? As in no-smoking, right? I'll try to make it there with your parts. I'll pull them tonight. If I can't make it...
After a 2 year hiatus from racing, I was excited to be heading back up to BIR on Thurs night. After scoring my $500 steed from Dave Boucher last fall, and...

I really learned my lesson with the street gloves. I was thinking that I would be able to layer the gloves and it didn't quite work out the way I wanted it...
Hey BF- MAM would be a fun trip but the soonest I could ride would be Saturday 21st, its a long ride to do alone. I am off the following week, though have to...
I would highly suggest reading Lee Parks "Total Control." I've read a few books on performance riding and find it to be extremely accessible and very well...
I'll second this - but keep in mind Lee Parks has some advanced stuff in it. Don't expect to absorb it all in one reading. Don't forget Pat Hahn's book on safe...
... A very tough question. Assuming we're talking the dry, clean, street, the "line" is ideally a "late apex". This isn't the fastest way through, which would...
