I'm having an ah-hah moment. Have the DGN in the PWK 39.5 and the bike pulls like a tractor. However it looks like I am too conservative on the pilot (50) and the main (170)...

I am 185lbs without gear and run .46 kg/mm fork springs and a 5.2 kg/mm shock spring. Both came from Factory Connection. You'll be able to tell whether the 5.6 spring is too much by checking your static sag after you set your race sag to 100-103mm. Right now my bike is beating me to death in the sma...

Had a blast racing with Ryan in the Mayor's / Amateur / Pro race. We went back and forth for 36 minutes and he won by a freaking 0.4 seconds. That's a wheel in real money. On the way we had trips in the lake, very ill-advised block pass attempts (sorry), bar-banging, hill-side end-swapping, slide-ou...

Riding today has tempered my disappointment over the course change. It was a lot of fun. Not a replacement for the original (with Main Street) nor the course of the last few years. But a lot of fun anyhow. I don't think "the channel's too high" is going to fly two years in a row, so I gues...

Ready. 15-48 and the chain adjusters are full out. 60% chance of rain!

No Hoons this year, then?

Would love to attend both. Have no problem with corners and jumps at Adelanto GP. 9 miles of sand whoops...maybe a little bit.

Got to pass on DITD due to work commitments so this is looking good...

Yamabond. Put a ring around the flange and then slip the pipe and springs on. It will set and then you can cut off the excess with a knife...

At Race Around the Lake several folks checked out the AF while I was in the pits or on the start line. Told them to come here, and/or look you up on Facebook. Maybe something will come of it. Coincidentally, I also met Bob Lytle who told me he puts together the CR500R engine kits for Service Honda.....

Indycar will deservedly get some attention following Dan Wheldon's crash because there were some variables that increased the chance of a crash occurring and the consequences: the type of track, number of cars being able to run at the same speed, cars able to get airborne etc. IMHO, MotoGP will corr...

In the team races, you hand-off each and every lap...

I am waiting for the entry form, but I will ride the 500AF in whatever classes make sense. There maybe an Unclassified race Friday a.m. Last time I rode the CR480R in a modern race.

Just emailed for an entry form. Organization feels a bit last minute, but it's a very fun event.

Thank heavens.

You are a cool Dad and a lucky SOB in general.
