    What is this offseason yall speak of? :D

    Mine really don't get "stored". I always do the Jennings event in December, then the WERA opener is in February. I typically try to hit Jennings up in January for extra practice/training.

    Assuming no catastrophic failures, i try to get 2 seasons out of a motor (I riding different bikes during the weekend, so the time is split). That means during the winter i will have 1-2 bikes in the shop being rebuilt, which leaves me a bike for Dec/Jan riding. Right now the R6 is at Livengood being rebuilt and the R1 is at RM Racing being rebuilt, so ive been riding the RSV4.

    The 675 will go in for a rebuild next winter, as will the RSV4.

    our garage is like a perpetual game of tetris.

    it looks different now, but same idea. too much stuff and not enough space. we now have 3 cars parked in a 2 car garage for winter. the benelli and drz were sold, and the tz is in a million pieces in the basement waiting to be cleaned up to join gigi in the living room.

    I still havent been there yet. I want to go, but it is a LONG haul for me. It would take me something like 13-14hrs to get there pulling the TH.

    28hrs round trip is a long way to drive.

    :
    That is my Road Atlanta and Jennings deal. To much driving and not enough tracktime. RA is doable as I used to do it but it requires me to take off all day Friday and Monday. Nola is 3 hours for me one way.

    Its a super fast track, bring top speed.:hat: 170 mph front straight into a 90 degree right hand T1, it gets your attention:eek:

    I am originally from Hattiesburg. If i still lived there, i would only be about 1-1.5hrs from NOLA. Figures a kickass track gets built there now that i live in NE TN.

    the '64 looks better in pictures. she's a bit rough, and never gets driven any further than i'm willing to push her back home again.
