DougZ at Pocono North Course May 7th

[DougZ]

Not too exciting of a day. I only got 4-5 sessions due to various reasons. We had an extended lunch break that started early cause some knucklehead on a brand new Gix 750 lost his drain plug and dumped oil all over the fricken track..like 90% of it....of course, right on " the line" too.

Then sadly, the day in the afternoon ended early too, cause in a session before the red group's session, some girl had a get off and got hurt. The bike didn't look too bad, but she ended up getting helicoptered out, so I hope she is OK, or will be. You never wanna see anyone have to be heli'd out.

On the good side, the bike ran OK.....still needs a bit of tuning and ECU trouble shooting after the rebuild , but it ran strong....tires are broken in, and I got back on a street bike for the first time this year. Also, I didn't get yelled at for anything by any of the coaches, so I think that was a good thing.

The North Course was shorter then the east course with less turns, but was a bit smoother, so that was good. I need to relearn to ride the street bikes, after all the dirt stuff I have been doing.

Not too exciting of shots from yesterday:

Hey everyone, it's Monday, let's ride some guy for the heck of it! yeaahhhh!!1 :banghead:

If ya don't like it, don't read it.

Doug- glad the bike is getting sorted, though I'd be kinda pissed that they knew it was throwing codes when they gave it to you...would they have given you any better service if u said u were a racer and needed the bike for a go at a championship? :(

Bryce, don;'t sweat hass....he is a fag I know from a while ago. LOL

As far as the bike, I am not happy about the code thing....but it didn;t do it at the shop....had a different ECu in it...one for a 750. The engine builder said I should get the 600 one and put that in....that is when the codes started. I am gonna have a trained tuner look into it.

Congrats on the Blue bump again bro. That is awesome,

I think me passing you will be what gets your head back in it and we can actually battle it out this year. I look forward to it. :)

Says that you'll be smarter than most guys when it comes to braking, hopefully, and won't end up in the grass like a lot of guys do ,when they try extreme out braking.

[Bster13]

that's the beaty or PIR East, if u outbrake yourself just go straight, not an option at VIR. :( haha

[IrocRob]

What, You never took your track bike off-roading?
I've done that a few times and it's lots of fun...:ride: :roflmao:

[Bster13]

Oh, if u look at the pics of my bike u'll surely know it's been off-roading a time or three. ;)

In fact, there should be an award for ugliest bike at the track...I think I could win it, what chu guys think? :p

I went offroading my first session in blue...damn jitters. 2nd session I got got my groove back. :)

[DougZ]

Stayed on the track this time..LOL. It was a good day.....I had no ego and road well with in the bike's and my limits. VIR will be a different story...not that I plan on going off, but sheet happens, especially when I am trying to keep up wth Jeff, who will hopefully be out of his funk by then.

[Bster13]

Jeff = Stranger on the SVrider.com board?

[CBRBob]

You can run off after the straight on VIR S. When my front tire locked up at 150 I just went straight......:doh:

[DougZ]

No, Jeff, on here fejjtable...is not on SVR. Josh=stranger, on SVR. both friends and bot PIA's..more Josh than Jeff though.

That was a sight. I came over the hill into on and saw you in the run off area and thought it was very strange. Then I remebered you were working (playing) with Tony and it made sense.
