Great weekend at Main
- Thread starter lemondrop
- Start date
Only rode Saturday, but had a good day. Slowly getting my form back, thanks to all the "A" guys that gave me feedback as well as Lenny for his 1 lap analysis (that was all he needed to come up with the top 5 things I was doing wrong) which is exactly what I needed to hear

I was a bit amazed at how many times in I group that someone was off track and we were red flagged. It wasnt until the 5th session we got a clean run. I could tell a few riders were pushing well above their heads in that group...just hope no-one was injured badly. Other than that we had a great day on Sunday and thank the staff for another good event. I know I have to pay my dues on air fence help soon too.

Great weekend, other than all of the mechanical issues I was having, thanks Will for being a rabbit a few sessions while mentally trying to get back to where I needed.

Not best weekend for me. thanks to all those you came by after the crash and/or helped me pack up. My wrist is broken (compound fractures) luckily its the big bone of the arm/wrist and not any of the little bastards in the wrist that never heal. looks like I am out of the game for awhile.

Sorry to hear, heal up man!
Hope you heal up quickly. I'm only 15 mins away if you need help with the bike or anything else.

Thanks to everyone for putting up with my smoky bikes - and the help with getting the new-to-me RS125 started in the paddock.
Eventually I figured out:
(1) that it is easier to start the bike when the engine kill switch is set to "RUN" instead of "OFF" :banghead:
(2) that after draining the carb and rejetting, I should turn the fuel on and wait a minute or two before trying to start the bike
(3) the proper timing of running next to the bike, jumping on the bike, pulling in the clutch, shifting to 2nd gear, partially releasing the clutch and blipping the throttle.
First race with the RS is in 2 weeks - can't wait! By then, I should have a proper starter tool so that I can save some of my energy before heading out on track.

Was the Honda the white bike??? That bike was rolling out pretty good.

yeah. stupid mistake in turn 3 I need to start down shifting early so the slipper has time to do its thing. instead I have a bad habbit only on this turn of waiting to down shit until right before I turn in, and the back always slids around on me. this time when it slid for some reason I forgot how to ride a bike and rather then just trusting the slipper and turning the bike. i tried to slow down and let the rear settle down. which of coarse then i was too deep, way of line, and all around f*cked. no run off in 3 so standing it up and slowing it down in the grass wasnt an option. all i could do was try and make the turn so I hit the grass at full lean followed by sky ground sky ground sky ground sky..... face down in gravel. friend got it on film when i get it ill link it on here.

Bump my self to I to take it easy this year b/c not to much riding for me this year. First session 2 laps
Someone blew an engine, oil on track. I was the first of 3 that got a good morning(not). Ahh well that's the game we play
am ok just sore, hope the guy that hit the deck last is ok.
Could not ride the rest of the day b/c my RC blew her radiator and that was game over. Until next time.
Will post the video later....
