Hey everyone!

My name is Jon, new to the forum. I pretty much do most of riding at the track these days. I ride a 2006 GSX-R 600 for a track bike, and have a 99 CR 250 for my dirty fun.

Pretty avid track rider, but just getting into dirt riding. It is a whole different animal. I am a manufacturing Engineer in the Metro Detroit Area, and also a Volunteer Firefighter and Paramedic.

Take Care, and Rubber Side Down.

Just joking, I'm a technician and like to give a hard time to engineer.

Welcome to the site man, you'll fit right in, lots of track rider here!

now, here's good joke for you.

A team of engineer were given an assignment to measure the height of a flagpole.

So they discussed and put up a project plan with roles and responsibilities.
The lead engineer who was responsible for organizing the resources went out and got a ladder and a tape.

The tape measure was just the ordinary tape of 6 feet.

The lead engineer assigned another engineer to go on top of the pole and start the measure.

They were falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures - the whole thing was just a mess.

An technician came along and saw what they' were trying to do.

He walked over pulled the flagpole out of the ground, laid it flat, measured it from end to end, gave the measurement to one of the engineer and walked away.

After the technician went away, one engineer turns head to another and laughs.
"What a dumb ass! We're looking for height and he gives us the length"
