soo.. what are your offseason plans??

if its anything like the lawn mower i bought, buy two :thumb:

 

I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to spend tomorrow morning in style with my friends at Cook County Traffic Court . We are going to talk about a summer night from August 2012.

Soon I need to start taking apart my bike, clean, lube, refresh etc

The big question is what tires should I get this season, since it looks that my 2013 track budget isn't as perky as 2012 so that means more street then I would like. Powers 3s... Supersport ... lots of new options out there

 

Yea I've been slacking big time. I have a xt gpx to wire up, a full exhaust to do, water to drain and a radiator to clean. Waiting on a new lower from armor bodies since the one in the kit I got didn't fit very well at all. Gotta pull my suspension and get it over to Ken for a fork swap with my ohlins and a refresh on the rear. Jeez I'm slacking.

 

These look good for street and track duty, and you can get them at the track from Sportbike Tire Service:thumb:

Well I just picked up a lightly used demo/floor model off Ebay for $395.00 :bounce: Once I have time to play around with it and take it on a few track days I'll give my full opinion.

Moto-D Warmers next (Team Fiscal Cliff Ducati in full effect LOL)

 

If it is quiet, then very good deal. :woot:
I will be picking up my Honda EU2000i this weekend. Tire warmers for me

 

how about you just buy my chickenhawk's off of me & get a good warmer, i'm buying some dual temps

 

Look at you, expensive goodies to install and your slacking. Not good! :whip:

 

What is the benefit to dual temps? I dont know much about the chickenhawks other then people like them. PM me a picture or two and how old they are.

 

2 temp settings vs one. Honestly it's not very useful. I have digital tire warmers and leave them at the same temp all day and unplug them over lunch. The only benefit to mine really is they get hotter than the single and dual temps.

 

finally home,,been on the road auditing for the last few months,,
got the garage ready this morning for the new winter project,
land rover disco engine rebuild,,
and ofcouce will be upgrading the mille next month on for heavy track use,
merry christmas everybody,,
and happy birthday to by baby girl she turned 5 today,,

 

Mattie, I am still trying to make sense of your bizzare obsession with commas. LOL

I bought a dirt bike last month, hopefully I'll get a fair amount of seat time during the "off season" between it and my street bike with heated gear.

Speaking of the street bike, I plan to either take it to Kenny or take the forks off and send them to him for Race Tech Gold Valves and springs.

 

So far New lid, bell star carbon, new gloves knox handroids, knox back protector. My astars boots are over due for a rebuild, planning on sending them in next week. Just finished an engine tuneup on the Speed triple, valve adjustment, new plugs samco hose kit and a few other detials. The suspension is way over due for a service so that and a brake MC are next...

Injured my knee in a half marathon in oct, so ive been slacking fitness wise...

 

hahah

i barely made it out of english class and soc classes in college.
and numbers were the only thing i was good at, thus an acct.
:hat:

 

New 1 pc suit (still haven't decided, and missed a good deal on an Arlen Ness)

Re-Hab Both Knee's ( 3 days land-2 days Aqua)
order new tires
brake pads frt/rr
Heel guards
Air filter wash/oil

Spring 2014

Get the O.K. from PT and Doctor to ride. per the wife....:lmao:

 

Did you buy those Optimal Racing Fairings yet? I have read some good reviews and you can't beat that price. Haven't pulled the trigger on them myself yet because it's too cold to paint right now.

 

Not yet. I'll be snagging them here in a few weeks. Probably around income tax time.

I do know that a riding buddy has a Optimal Tail for his bike, and the thing survived a high-side with barely any damage.
The quality seems good on it. Its thick stuff, well, compared to Hotbodies he has on the rest of the bike. I was impressed, although the body lines aren't SUPER sharp like factory.

And yea, for the price i'm excited.
I'll be posting a whole build thread when i get them
Mostly because i'm a post whore. :hat:

 

The mounting points mostly failed, but that's why man invented zip ties. The tail itself has successfully survived a nasty highside (as though there's another kind of highside) and a relatively painless lowside.

 

Old thread bump lol. Same as last year for me. Make some new bling for the R6 and first gen FZ1 parts for some tire money...
