Looks like ideal weather this weekend, enjoy!
I'm dying to get back to the track but I haven't been home on a weekend since early July.

Yes, exactly that...LOL I had not managed a picture of that for myself. I had the tires remounted and the turf removed. I was getting some sort of imbalanced feeling when it was rolling...not sure why

Awesome weekend guys!! Great meeting all of you and thanks for settin up my paddock Cakes Very technical track but great on the SV!!! Started gettin the feel for it the end of day one but really started to rip mid morning Sunday. Sunday afternoon fatigue really set in and I had to slow it down to get my lines back but I still had a blast. Great times will all of you, can't wait till next time.

LOL, you have no idea...Outback had a new employee for about 10 min, then the one waitress drops a big tray of drinks which to this moment we still don't know if it was Omar's fault or not

[AfricanBootyScratcher]

I can't help it if my sexynes is distracting!
this morning I went over to stiff's place to bring him his bike, and one of the first things he brings up is that they forgot to bring us our free T-shirts.
damn bastids played us out

Howdy -

Met Kendal and a few of you at Summit/Shen this weekend. I was the guy with the white Volvo and the decrepit YZF600R (trying to keep up with Kendal)...

Thought I'd drop a note to say hello, and add yet another sportbike-related group to thoroughly pollute my inbox.

I'll be at Beaver next weekend, with NESBA. Anyone else?

P.S. Borka - I am the guy you fell in behind on Rte 81 and 78, and we held a solid 80 the whole way. You must have dozed off at some point, because I exited, had dinner, and caught back up to you in NJ somewhere...but was nice to "have company" for the ride.

Here's pics of me, maybe you've seen me








I will also be going for the Labor day weekend to Summit, I have an open spot on my 2 bike trailer if any one wants to carpool there together, then split gas, hotel or camping costs....

I finished with the TLR and got in my final sessions of the weekend.
for congrats to Paul, great meeting you and your wife.
Also good to have met Borris and Kendal as well.

see everyone next time.

So how was it riding that thing?
It must feel insanely different from riding the TLR.
How does it hold its own against the 600 4 strokes, power-wise?

Karen kinda laughed when I told her he got bumped and said what will you do now, let the air outof his tires or something to slow him down


He looked realy good and fast from day one at pocono, I guess its soemthing similar to kenedy who just took to it and moved up very quickly (god now i hate both of them )

I completely loved riding it. Took a little getting used to but it was definitely lots of fun giving the larger bikes a run for their money. Guys that would walk me on the straight with a liter bike would only have me pass them again at the end of that straight in the turn. The TZ gives a good rider lots of other passing options in turns due to its light weight. I would like to get more saddle time and work on just that. Sometimes I get a little squirrelly on the TZ because its so small, only cure for that is to ride it some more.
It has lots to do with the layout of the track and Shenandoah allows a 2 stroke to give the 600 and 1000cc bikes something to contend with. I am sure some fellas out there did not expect such a little bike to have such a good run on the straights either.
Another note, I spent the better part of the weekend riding the TZ and loving it, the flip side was that it did not last both days. A water leak ended my weekend with the TZ, overheated it and I have to tear down the top end to have a look inside.
I expect that I may have warped the barrel on one cylinder and I need to make a swap and replace the top end.
The difference became apparent when I pulled out the TLR and rode that in the afternoon on Sunday, the TLR felt like a freight train on that track.
