Default DougZ at Pocono North Course May 7th

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:









This is where I was at the end of last season.

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

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,

No, it was "Fag", but that was just jealousy. LOL

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.
