ex-mid central comment here - I'll plan to ride where my friends ride, and when it fits into my schedule. I didn't get out a lot this year, mostly due to work. I had some choices, and sometimes it meant I would go to the track on days when my old TD buddies were not there. That's not as much...

yep, had a few peope asking for handouts, but then some guy came over with cash in hand who had a wreck earlier in the year. trying to sell other parts to people who don't go to the track? not so easy.

A small variety of parts for sale. Here's ad Ad I posted on the local craigslist. http://desmoines.craigslist.org/mcy/3291463904.html I can take some more pictures to upload here, since some of the stuff is gone the red and white plastics are sold, and the free stuff is picked over. I'm...

bullshit former mid central rider, was told I would get a refund on my membership fees long ago. They even had a thread on it. Waited, waited, got in touch with the NESBA group, one email says I will get it but processing is slow. Months go by. Send another email, and I get a reply that I will...

I need a clearer picture of the girl in that picture to make a more informed decision. :)

sold!

drop me a PM or somethin'

cornering skill development is almost never ending. Maybe it has ended for Valentino or Jorge, but doubtful the rest of us mortals will ever get there. I see lots of guys getting an SV650 for the track. Control riders included. Cornering speed is really emphasized on them. Screw the strait-away...

you forget to mention the saturday night meal that is legendary[/b]!!

Kawasaki is really at fault here. They play with model names too much. The ZX6E, or often just called a ZX6 is shown as that red bike above (it was not sold with luggage). That's how the ZX6 looked from 1993 to 2003. In 2003 it was renamed the ZZR600 here in the US. And then in 2005, Kawasaki...

Thank you Come on MidWest, you've got a big hole in your schedule that Iowa Speedway would really compliment! July 24/25 Follow Jason's link or just go to MidCentral forum, it's probably the thread on top.

congrats Jamie!

Unfortunately, even the King could not prevent high sides all the time.
