I used to frequent this place but a year ago I developed a serious illness - motorcycles. sense then I've been screwing around learning to ride and not hanging out here.

It gets worse - I'm preparing to trade the EVO for a freaking pickup. why? so I can toe a trailer with a bike to the race track. This summer I plan to attend California superbike school to learn how to really ride well and then I'll start playing around at MSR.

Anyway, I hate to see my EVO go. it has been a wonderful ride. As I told Kevin - I'm not really leaving the community, just changing drugs.

 

bikes are FUN!, but do you have any mods you wanna get rid of?

 

hey do you have a link to that superbike school?

 

Keep the helmet ON and the rubber down. Good luck!

 

I have the following to sell
Ksport coil-overs w extra pair of 400lbs springs
OEM wheels w/ tires (1 pair is ok, 1 pair needs to be replaced)
3" Test pipe
Camber plates

I have one person who may be interested in the coilovers. I'll know tomorrow.

 

The school's site is http://www.superbikeschool.com/ they have a pretty cool forum. I go in August to Mid-Ohio. I wanted to go to Barbe but I screwed up my wrist and I'm still in physical therapy so I cant go. suckorz

 

What kind of bike do you have and where do you live?

 

I live in flower mound. Right now I have a Kawasaki Ex500. I've had it for a year now and have learned to ride ok on it. After CSS I'm either getting a ZX6 or a ZX10. I'm leaning heavily toward the ZX10 even though it is completely impractical. but who can resist something so freaking sexy?

 

thinking my thread title was a bit off.....perhaps I should have put "long absence - sorta over" who knows.

 

Thanks for the info, that school seems like a real good thing. So are you going to use one of their bikes or take your own out there? I'm thinking about signing up also, but I couldn't find the answer to one question. I see there is a 750 deposit for the use of thier bike, but if I wreck it bad will I owe them more? Thats not something I would anticipate doing, but you never know...

 

no - you drop it you are out up to $750. You are basically covering their insurance deductible. if you bend the handlebars and do $20 of damage you pay it. If you total the bike then you are out all $750.

and yes - I'm renting their bike for the level 1 and 2 classes. I'm looking at it as the ultimate test ride before I make a decision. both bikes (zx6 and zx10) are awesome so this will help me decide.

if i do level 3 & 4 I'll take my own bike - they recommend it b/c they'll help you tune the bike to fit you better.

 

oh - if you are going to sign up go to Mid-Ohio in August. That is where I'm going.

I originally wanted to go to Barber b/c it is closer. It is also a beautiful track. However, according to some of their past students Mid-Ohio is one of CSS's best classrooms. so I'll do the basics there and catch them at Barber next time around.

 

Thanks

 

I say let's get out in the country and do some follow the leader, that will get you going in the right direction...

 

let me know when your ready to pull the trigger on a 6r or 10r ill make you an awsome deal on either one. i think you bought your helmet from us for autocross didnt you??
