Your buying leathers so you can't go to the track

Sometimes it's about quality, not quantity. I'm hoping having a better suit will improve how I feel when I *am* at the track (which will still be once a month May - October) and that it'll be represented in my performances.

I might skip the "away" round of racing to make Grattan. But the schedule hasn't been posted yet so I don't know if it's even happening or not. I'll know more when it gets closer.

Just yanking your chain If you can show it would be great if not you will not be the first person(s) that missed (HGs )

I'm going to try to make it. To the extent of skipping racing rounds if necessary.

skip Grattain and come to Grattan.

that looks like a nice suit. and the free item is a pretty sweet kicker to go with it.

I wish my race org went to Grattan. Fasttrax hasn't gone there since my first race in 2003.

Oh damn. Well, we'll be there this year. We attended fireblade/mcadx events before you even showed up on this forum, so give it a rest!

My WSBK Miller trip will probably soak up the funds required for Grattan...

I wasn't talking about the racing. I was making fun of your spelling mistake and telling you to come to the org event.

Wouldn't a quiet non-terrorizing sheep make you wonder what I was up to?



Shoot I am even considering getting my license and taking last at a WERA race HD

I'm a wee bit concerned about this too (yes, contrary to popular belief, I do have a budget).

I guess an unlimited budget is still technically a budget.

It's a pretty easy formula, really:

bwhip's income - (what kwhip spends on dogs and horses + What University of Texas takes) = bwhip's budget

Isn't yours:

1. Get 848
2. Worry about the rest later

If I was single it would be. I don't know what it is about that bike...but it is making me want to do bad things.
