Patriot? I know of at least 3 in the B group alone. Hope you made out better'n the bike. I have mine sort of put back together, sort of street fighter style. Tried to ride it but it started up and about a minute later it quit, as if starved for fuel. Wonder if I pinched a fuel line somewhere tearing the ass end off/putting back on?

Well, I let it sit a while, added some Seafoam (it was out in the rain overnight, maybe got damp in the tank). Started right up. Took it for a spin, seems ok. I think the patient is going to make it.
Daddyfriedrich,
We've all been there and if it make you feel any better I have video of Lemondrop running off the track in B group.
Maxpr1,
It was tough to see your bike on the truck. I'm glad your ok. Far too many went down at njmp on Saturday

at 3:41 Lemon runs wide and off and keeps it upright, however I believe Lemon has footage of me walking away from my lowside a session or 2 later. Point being it's all what you take away from your incidents. Lemon learned and overcame and quickly acended to "A" while I am still in "B" struggling, trying to figure things out

i'm with you Steve. I think Lemon and I started at the same time. His member number is like 4 or 5 away from mine, and he's a super
rider and i've been out like 20 times and i am in the remedial part of the 
group. It is what it is....i stopped comparing myself to others in this sport and just focus on trying to get around the track these days, and keeping my bike in one piece.

One of the best statements ever!
Thanks Big Bird.
In my usual riding crew I am now the lone B-group rider. I went through a tough period of self doubt and at the end I decided to buy the type of bike I've always wanted and press forward and have FUN!

Same here. I found a fairing stay on eBay for around 65 bucks, delivered, so I should be back in road form pretty soon. It looks like a half-assed street fighter at the moment, but at least its rolling.
