F440 Sep 11, 2006

I'll be there riding. I'm going to take some video from the upper deck, let me know if anyone wants some video of them riding. The earlier, the better, looking into the sun sucks and when it's dark it sucks too.

All my F440 video is here (more to be uploaded soon):

Ya, I don't think my bike would like it if the two of us were on it!!! You can ride it if you promise not to drop it, then I can do some video...

On second thought, it might not be worth it ($) to share a bike since you don't have a membership, but it's up to you. We don't get much daylight these days...

;D

I'll see if I can make it out for a little spectating Maybe bring the girlfriend for company, try and get her hooked

Why not bring the DR out?

;D

I'll ride it down, but it needs a new chain pretty bad. It's probably ok for another week or two of monotony/commuting, but I don't think it'd be too happy with me lurching out of corners - gotta get to work so I gotta make it last at least until tomorrow when I can grab a new one I'll bring my DSLR instead, maybe someone there can lend me a kickass lens since I've only got the kit lens and a 50mm.

Hmm just talked to a few buddies and they're coming too. Fan section ftw

Were you the one with the camera in the far corner? If so........ where's the pics?!?!?

Can you zip up the ones of me (black DRZ, blue/white leather jacket) and maybe dump a big file on dropload.com (PM me for my e-mail address)??? That is, if you were the one taking pics... :thumbup

;D

Hey guys,

That was great to meet everyone last nite, and BigRed thanks for the videos!

Yup that was me. Like I said at the track, still learning the art of shooting at dusk so most didn't turn out so hot, but when I'm sober enouh to actually type without fat fingering the entire keyboard Ill upload what I have

Look for em tomorrow Hopefully you can make a poster out of it.

I get every second Monday off and unfortunately I worked last Monday and it's difficult to make it out to F440 before 7:30....it's not worth wasting my membership for a couple of runs then the light starts to disappear. I will be out this upcoming monday if I can get back from the USA in time. Looks like you guys had a good time.

Hey guys, i'm about to buy a YSR80, and while its not a 'tard it should be a blast out on that track. Mind if I bring it out one of the monday nights?

Spero brings his 80's out.... and he can beat a few of the full size SM's!

SWEET. I've got a DR350 as well, and Im just waiting on a chain and sprockets right now from the big 5 before I go out.

Also, I only have a leather jacket and gloves, helmet and goggles... no boots or leather lowers. Scary, but it looks like too much fun to wait to be honest Dont think taping headlights is really necessary either, though it might be wise (theyre expensive) - I was going to plan on taping mine when I go.

As for the rest of the details the other guys can help you more.

BTW Im working on the pics right now

No inspection, no taping of lights necessary, just wear good gear. I've gone with my mesh jacket and jeans before.

;D
