When not riding the GG...
Had the last set of track days at the Ridge/ for '14 last weekend and had a great time ripping around that circuit.
This is a quick clip from going out in the afternoon A group to play with a few buds on their S1000RRs and a fellow instructor on his R1. Such an awesome venue; nothing like 170+ down the front straight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqhe2A-UTn4 |

Fun time. It looks like you were running a 2:02 lap time, not too bad for a Ninja 250. Or even an older 600, like mine.
Just funning. Come on out and watch the races on the 27th. I'll be there on my 1987 CBR600 fighting for a championship.* Plus the WMRRA crowd is a good group of folks to hang out with. I am going to improve my lap times from 2:02 to 2:00 (or 1:59, if I catch a good draft). of course, I only have about 40 laps around the track, I should be getting faster as I increase my lap count. I have a dozen years at Pacific, and exactly two sprint races and an endurance race at the Ridge. So yeah, I should be slow at the Ridge. *So far I'm the only legal bike in the class, and I have the most points anyway. One more win will seal the championship.

I'm supposed to be out in the woods camping the weekend of the 26th, so unable to attend (not to mention it's a decent trek from home). Good luck with wrapping up the championship; that's frickin' awesome! |

The outdoors will be there the following weekend, this is the last weekend of the season. Mother Nature can wait!
Thanks for the well wishes. Here's a shot of the beauty queen in her finest at the track.

Sweet!
I like the semi-Italian paint scheme - anything behind those colors? I bet she likes to move around as you're braking into T2, crazy how flexible those old chassis were Keep the sticky side down this weekend and enjoy ripping around the track; hope you're able to cruise to the championship On an unrelated note, Phaeton - is riding still open in your neck of the woods (ie China Hat)? Everything is closed here due to fire restriction |

Yes China hat is open along with Cline Buttes.
Are you going to the China hat Campout Husqvarna/gasgas on the weekend of the 25th? |

I'm supposed to be hanging with a group of guys at McCubbins for an annual guys' weekend we've been doing the last 14 years, but I have serious doubts that it will reopen before that weekend. My other thought was to move things to Gifford, but China Hat might be an option too. The only caveat is the group of guys going is a mix of non-riders and riders; don't want it entirely focused on riding (the last 14 years has been at various campground on the coast - so just camping). Hmmm...have to think about it. |

Story behind the paint - The previous owner bought a new set of leathers. Cheap and in the right size. Green only. So, he melded the red and green between the Honda bike and Kawi leathers, and the white is for the number plates (white background with black numbers).
We call it the Mucho Muchacho Racing team. If you give it a second, you can hear La Cucaracha playing softly in the background.
