Today was the day that I finally was able to make a deal on a race bike. I will pick it up next week from Skidooboy to close the deal. It has been quite some years that I was on a racetrack but im really excited. :bounce: The bike is ready to race as it sits. I just need some more gear and Im good to go. Most likely I will start at Grattan this summer. So I just like to say Hi and wish everybody a great season. If you like to share any advise im happy to hear it! Tomi
Skidooboy huh.............be VERY scared..........very scared................. J/K..........Eric is good people! Welcome to the addiction and good luck this season. If you get a chance, make your way down south and do a weekend at Barber. It is a track that you will not soon forget.
thank Vern it was great to meet you and your boys Tom. you can tell you guys are good people and will fit right in with the STT and wera people. Ski
Thanks, I had the same impression that Eric and his woman are very good people. I was at there house for quite some time today and we talked about all kinds of stuff....lol I love the Barber idea and Eric indicated that they will go there in spring. Maybe I can tag along with a group one day...will see. I also like to get down to Mid Ohio maybe already this year. Thanks for the welcome!
Thanks Eric! Much appreciated! It was nice to meet you guys as well. Im sure I could use ur help a lot in the future! Tomi
Congrats on your purchase....that's a great bike. I've ridden it at Grattan and chased Lynne around on several occasions while she ripped around on it. They take great care of their equipment and ya probably couldn't have dealt with 2 nicer people. Anyway, there are a couple of us from White Lake and we'll be at Grattan for most of the events this summer. If you have any questions or need anything let us know! See you at the track!
it fits me well you could say. lol But it actually originated in the fact that I was rebuilding an 1977 Plymouth Fury! But that one is gone since a while and now the Bike is back.
Thanks svpauly! So you guys are basically sitting in my back yard! Thats pretty cool!:thumb: So here the first thing, were is a local store to purchase some riding gear and some stuff for the bike? Stands, tire warmers .....? Thanks Tom!
Tom, you need to make a trip over to see our friends at Sportbike Track Gear (STG) in Shelby Twp. Several of them are on this forum. They have tons of gear and accessories to choose from. You can try on all the gear before you buy as well. www.sportbiketrackgear.com Hope this helps! -Paul
