Man what an awesome weekend! We went to Gratten and the weather was great, the track was as good as could be expected this time of year and other than a couple of minor incidents (off the track BTW) it was a perfect weekend. I won't go into detail about the "other" stuff but Dyno and I hung pretty tight all weekend and we had alot of fun passing each other. Yes we were getting lapped being our first track day but we were lapping other people as well so we were not the slowest by far.. I am most definately doing more track days and hopefully SOON.. Here are some pics...

1. MP's R6 in the trailer begging to be unloaded and beat on
2. 2 R6s - Dynos with the race plastics and MP's along with Twisty's GSXR 750 - I guess 2 out of 3 bikes ain't bad.. Damn GSXR tainted that pic.. lol..
3. Rev's Monster
4. Twisty's race R6 - now that is what I am talking about
5. In the "WOS" garage Sunday morning that we rented for a mere $30.. Hey Haz when we said "give it some gas" we didn't mean it like that.. lol.. Actually bad joke because that mfr was lapping me not once but twice per session - him and Twisty are bad mfrs..

On track pics..

Ok so these are the greatest and I am hoping Pippi and Amy took better pics that I should have soon and I will post them but here is something to start with...

1. Flyby and Haz
2. Haz, Twisty, MP & Dyno - in that order - trust me Dyno and I were far behind those two fast ass mfrs by about 2 turns later - just happened that we all just got on the track at that point
3. Twisty about ready to lap some mfrs
4. MP (3rd back) and Dyno right behind
5. Haz

Yeah hooked isnt the word for it. Oh and the whole reason, partial reason, for my post - Fugging Pilot Powers ROCK! They are awesome tires - they hook up well.. The Amsoil I put in was awesome as well - bike was running sweet..

Ok so Rev and I are picture/video illerate.. I was trying to focus the damn video camera that was on auto focus the whole time and Rev didn't know there was an on/off button - he was filming the entire time - makes for entertaining video of Rev's hand going by every now and again and Rev walking.. lol.. Rev's footage is better than mine as I was trying to focus the whole time and made it choppy as hell.. Neither of us zoomed in.. Next time we need a dedicated camera professional.. I have 2 or 3 people that want to come check it out - not ride just watch - so I think next track day we will have great pictures / video and if all else fails my good friend is a professional photographer and I am sure some beer and a few bucks would get him out there.. It is a good thing Pippi got some good pictures because mine are wretched.. I need to call Flyby tomorrow and find out the status of those pics as well..

Yes, I got some decent pics - Twisty is going to do some cropping/fixing and then post em up.

No, no vid - forgot the video camera.

I understand but I don't need "edited photos" (say that in a yuppy gray pupon voice) - I just need the raw footage - I will decide what makes the cut.. I can chop and crop with the best of them.. Just GIVE ME THE GOODS OR THE LITTLE GUY GETS IT.. :bthorse: :bthorse: :bthorse: :bthorse: :bthorse: :bthorse: :bthorse: :bthorse: :bthorse:

Day 42 - We are out of water. The food supply ran out 4 days ago. We had to sacrifice Sharky for the good of the club. The liver was good but no onions. Now everyone is nervously wondering if they are the next to be eaten. Hope of being found has now been forgotten. Most of us sleep with one eye open hoping not to be violated or eaten in our sleep. The leader of our tribe is Rev's Arai helmet that was salvaged from the wreckage and was the coolest anyways. We stuck Sharky's head in it to make us feel less :screwy: Sometimes I actually think he is still talking to me, especially at night when he tells me to annihilate the club in one swift blow. I renamed him Son of Sam. Still no pictures. If we had those April 2005 track pictures maybe we could find a way out but the picture guru is off on the other side of the island somewhere cropping and trying to make them pretty. We don't know if he has been eaten by wild beasts or if he is just that slow.

I tried calling Brian today and his number is disconnected. :cursin: Does anyone have his number or home number or something? Address? I could mail him a letter to email me his pics..
