That should work might have some family stuff that may have to be taken care of but I plan on riding
 
Also ya I know the guy with the R he had fun and that's what matters, can anyone ever say that haven't been passed by a smaller bike on the track by a more experienced rider? Although passing and lapping the S1000rr that tried to run me off the track in the previous session was the highlight of my day:D

Proving once again that the Pani is better than the German gixxer.

The 1000RR owner said he was pleased to "finally pass that damn Panigale R rider that kept destroying him on the straights".

But ya I do agree having fun is the most important thing. I know some of the fastest track riders do it on an SV650 with Gixxer forks.
 
Ya I have seen some SV650 riders with gixxer suspension terrorize people on the track, ya the R was awesome to see he was running in the expert group and it was the first track day on the R he had a fast pace but like most things there is always someone faster, sometimes......

With me in one of the sessions I came up in the S1000rr and showed him a wheel to let him know I was there and he cut me off, so I figured he didn't see me, he was holding me up but everyone I tried to pass he would cut me off, one corner to tried to late brake to pass and he almost ran me off the track, so the next session I figured avoid him, till I came up on him on the straight and pulled him, it was awesome passing him again in the same session, gotta love the panigale
 
I'm still in! Getting some work done on the Pani Sat. and will be ready for Sunday. Having smoke screen and oil slick options added for backup. So, 10am Castle Rock Burger King?

Some idiot on a gixxer 1000 kept doing that to me in a race I was in. When I went inside he'd try to take out my front. If I went around the outside he'd stand it up to run me off. He'd only do about 145 on the straight at pacific and when I went to pass him there he'd turn into me and try to put me into the wall.

I got totally pissed and went on his outside through the bus stop and when he went to stand his bike up I slammed my bike into his and passed him. He then tried to keep up with me on the straight but I stayed wide open through turn one and suckered him in at speeds he'd never done. He went straight off the track with his back wheel locked up. Saw the dirt cloud in my peripheral and said fuckyou ........ I never got in trouble for slamming into him even though everyone saw it. No one saw it happen :)

So Bronch's trying to get me drowsy and run me off the road and your going to obscure my vision and spray oil in front of me? What did I get myself into?

Yup, castle rock Burger King exit 49 10 am.

Looks like a trackday in your profile to me. Other than doing one TOR at the ridge and pacific last year, last time I was really on the track was in '07.

I'll practice for 20 minutes Saturday. :D
 
Hey Bronch, I got that work done on your Pani. That ball bearing spreader fit really nice on your swingarm. You don't even notice it.
