another trackday thank you

[dmh2000]

Thanks to everyone who helped out after I wrecked. Special thanks to the donor of the shift rod that let me get back on the track. I didn't get your name, but thanks.

I learned a lesson. I am a C group rider, but I was thinking, 'b-group, b-group' as I pressed harder and went a little too far. I realized I need to avoid trying to compete on a trackday. That aside, when is the next one?

ok, now a question : my bike (cbr600rr)  is in ok shape (already ordered new slider pucks and a clutch lever) but there are two spots on the plastic that are pretty scarred up. I will get new ones after the season but for now I would like just to smooth it out. what's the recommended method for dressing up the plastic? should I just sand it down? wet sand? what grit? or ?

As Justin said, I was just prepping my bike for flush mount turn signals.

the guy that hooked you up was Greg a.k.a oneup. battle scares man! did you see my CBR? its got wounds of a warrior  :

hows your shoulder?

I know you want to fix your bike as soon as possible It sucks when you crash. I generally take off all the decals on that side leave it. But if your a body and paint guy you know what it takes.  If you need some one to do it for you Pedro does an excellent job. He did my Kawasaki and matched the paint. There are still a few guys on this forum that paint. If you need some help. Or yes do it your self. There are so many things to do at this point.

I was really happy you decided to come back on the track and ride. Good for you. You can send me a pm or you can call  Jerome @ 560-6998  good luck. Our next track day is in October 5th. Pacific is coming in the 2nd weedend in August for 99 a day. So check with Pacifictracktime.com

My shoulder is ok. just some roadrash.  Other than that I was ok. It looks like my jacket collar pulled down when I slid. I guess I need better leathers.

[weavefish]

or just tigher ones... were you wearing a back protector? that usually snuggs em up a bit

Dave, glad to hear your ok  and it was nice meeting you.  You should try to get a hold of Pedro for the body work or advice.  I've seen his work and it looked great!  I look forward riding on the track with you this summer

[Justin]

fix only what needs to be fixed for now. Buy and install flush mounts then pick up Greg at his house (in Napa) on your way to a Laguna Seca track day.  The off season is the "fix/change" season

contact info for Pedro?

     Hey, I knew Greg had Oneup on his tool box, and helped him out with the contact.  Where is my credit Tom.....Well Jerone told me to help him out, so Jerome gets the credit.
     Isn't it cool so many people help each other out a the track.  Tahoe Johnny also let someone borrow his leathers.  I also picked up the debris in the back strait at lunch, while retriving sidneys r6, and found the owner to the mirror blockoff.  He didn't know it was missing, while tring to advoid it on the track for two sessions.  Ha.

nice use of your quote tags there Myron

[zipbyu]

I was schooled in Chicago, what the hell is a "quote tag"?

[MotoPutz]

when you are quoting someone, it puts a "tag" its the word 'quote' inside of [brackets] and come other header information in the brackets as well. and when the quote is done it puts a closing tag which is '\quote" inside brackets.  If your reply is inbetween the two sets of brackets, it thinks its still part of the quote and therefore highlights your reply in white.

[zipbyu]

You so smart, what were we talking about?

[MotoPutz]

your post 5 above that has your reply as part of the quote...

[zipbyu]

Dude, are you on my ass?  That doesn't happen on the track.
