Ready for action

TornadoB8 · 04-12-2008, 07:01 PM

With the exception of my fresh suspension, in transit from Jim Cambora of Raceworx in Cresson, TX (reworked forks and Ohlins shock), it's ready to go. Monday is a trackday/school at HPT with Super Dave's VRS. I'm just a little anxious.

nhfirefighter13 · 04-12-2008, 07:12 PM

Sweeeeeeeet.

Jetbdude · 04-12-2008, 07:20 PM

I really like it!

Hammer · 04-12-2008, 07:23 PM

I like it, and it's not green anymore is the best part.

CBRVFR · 04-12-2008, 07:25 PM

You'll be fine - bike's looking good.

I've still got the BLUE body work as a backup.

Patched it up, repainted the # plates, and touched up some other areas.

DEPO · 04-12-2008, 07:42 PM

Looks great.... ready to rock and roll!

So what did you do with the green stuff then?

Looks good

ONEvcs · 04-12-2008, 10:05 PM

Blue? Didn't you tell me that was "soft & girly seafoam green"?

j/k, it's all envy. Looks menacing. Good luck.

Did you put 03 skin on your 05?

Yes, I had a set of Hong Kong Repsol plastic that I traded a guy for this 03-04 set of Armour Bodies. It fits the same except for the air intake pieces which are also 03-04 style and fit right into the same airbox tubes.

CBR929RE · 04-13-2008, 12:47 AM

holy crap talk about a lightened rear rotor. good luck this upcoming season.

luvtolean · 04-13-2008, 07:46 PM

Dude, you're still sportin' the yellow plates?

That is the "Pro Novice" class.

NorthernRR · 04-13-2008, 08:08 PM

Lookin' good.

Looks like this season at grattan it will be white vs black when you and JBD get "playing" in the advanced group.

Kinda like a good vs evil thing only not quite...

Yeah...I tried to run both CMRA and CCS last year. A combination of things spread me too thin and I didn't accumulate many points. Concentrating solely on CCS this season with high hopes.

NorthernRR · 04-13-2008, 09:30 PM

Sorry to hear that. I guess that Nicky66 will have to keep our french canadian in check this year...

What series are you going to be competing in?

Ah. I forgot that was how CCS does it.

In the AFM you go white with races, which leads to some slow experts. They also don't really trophy novices either though...not real friendly to newbies.
