  1. wow thats creepy as hell, Justin. You have found yourself a psycho stalker!!! We had a crazy dude like that do something similar to us at our meet up for rides down here last weekend. However it ended way better as the dude ended up crashing on our roads after trying to get the guys to race him. they declined of course and he sped off after them and proceeded to eat shit 1/4 of the way into the ride... I would expect nothing less from this douchebag
  2. there were a few bikes at the track i was behind that i would have payed them tot use that stuff!!
  3. It was a good time for sure.. I did watch A for a lil bit. I dont usually stray far from my pits at trackdays though. They all looked like they were running a high pace! Maybe next time I can join them I wish I could have stayed for the 2nd day but I'll just have to wait for next season! Have a good day tomoro! Hopefully you'll stay dry!
  4. Ok, here is my write up for the trackday I did with NESBA for the first time today. Well as most of you know, I won the free trackday that Mello could not attend. After waking up late(which of course meant arriving late), I made mytrek up to Putnam yet again this week. I got there for the 2nd half of the riders meeting. The pits were packed and there was a very cool setup by NESBA. After registering I went and got my bike to take it to tech where I met a very cool control rider Matt G. He teched me and we agreed to out and lay some laps down. blah blah, ya know the drill, but everyone with the NESBA staff that I encountered today was exceptionally nice, helpful and overall very cool. Well first session starts and I havent even unloaded anything so i just roll out on cold tires and cruise around the 1st lap, and as soon as hit the 2nd lap, instant red flag and the session is stright up OVER due to what looked like a funfilled pileup in either 2 or 4(I'm guessing 4 as its always crash central in the mornings for I) So I come back in and eat some Mcdonalds breakfast that my buddies went and picked up. I become friends with my neighbors who hopefully will sign up on here, they were very cool peeps. The novice group is out at this time and I hear red flag again, and look up to see a very pretty 08 CBR like mine rollin down pit lane demolished on the left side(turn 4 again). So I go check the bike out and he needs a rearset because his is just gone! I sell him stock one for $20 so he can get back out there on the track since he was there for both days and have made yet another friend! lol I will say one thing, I have never met so many friendly people as I did today. Like, everybody is always nice at trackdays, but NESBA peeps are all pretty effing cool. It amazed me how some of them had never even heard of other organizations. anyways, so 2nd session finally rolls around after more red flags, and I go out in I and start to get some speed up again, when suddenly I hit a wall o traffic. I mean 10 people all clumped together going like high 20's and low 30's. I wasnt kidding when I said I was gonna get lots of pasing practice today!! I was getting a lil frustrated with taht session but i just got off the track and got back on when it was clear. It never took long to catch up to a pack though.. Then novice goes out, and Jarvis is riding in novice so I send him out with "have fun" and all that blah, and go wandering. Next thing I know I see his bike brought down to the pits. He crashed in deadbear cuz he scared himself when he finally drug knee and sat up and ran off the track and dumped it pretty hard in the dirt. needs teh basics, a clipon, rearset, some TLC... but he did hurt his shoulder and would not have past the med exam to get back on the track even if we got his bike back together so he ended up packing his shit and rolling out. He did get refunded some since he crashed in the morning and nesba is going to let him redeem his free trackday next season since he didnt make it to the 2nd day. Third session rolls along and its almost exactly like the 2nd with just lots of crashes and a few red flags. The session after lunch really had me frustrated, I was very tired of trying to pass a bunch of riders like I was trying to deal with harleys or something. some people were being some major corner campers and their lines were astonishingly distastrous!!! So after that I told Matt how i was feeling(I was considering loading the bike and just coming home) He said to wait til next session and we'd roll out together and go play. It seems I wasnt quite so crwded after the folowing session. Perhaps all the crashers had been weeded out, but Matt ended up helping me alot and I progressed quite a bit some new techniques and body positioning and the drive out of corners. oh and of course turn 7.. SOOOOO much help there! All in all it wasnt a bad day.. the afternoon was great, the morning sucked. It would have been nice to work with matt right off the bat instead of dealing with traffic non stop, but im glad I didnt pack up and leave. Hopefully Matt signs up on here soon! He said he's got some pictures for me!! Thanks NESBA for the free trackday! It was the perfect birthday present!
