Having never been to Roebling, I'm sure I'll be slow too. Look for us with the Frontline Motorsports enclosed trailer (grey sides). As usual, I'll be on the #75 yellow S1000RR.

Believe me, I'm very tempted .... But I must stick to my game plan ... I must make more money to finish up
projects on my house ... I have blowm them off the last 2 summers .... plus I will be 60 yrs. old in june and would like to treat myself to a new sport touring bike , so I must reduce inventory ,plus put some extra money aside , plus funding if possible for 2013 track season ... sooooo I must work , work , to pay , pay , to play , play ... get it !! :D

Thought of selling off a few bikes really doesn't thrill me ... But track riding is a luxury ....

Cool deal! see you there. Still got one bike to go over, change the oil and mount some tires on some rims. Got to fix a leaky hose on the tire changer.

Well, I wasn't planning on lifting the 500 lb tire changer into the back of the pickup and we are only bring a small trailer so I don't think that is an option. I would have to bring the motorcycle lift too and I want my back to not be hurting too much. Sorry man. :rolleyes:

Bring a C clamp, rim spoons, elbow grease and we'll figure it out. Heading out around 10 AM with a 4 PM ETA trailer drop at Roebling. I'll jinx it now and say the um...well...um...nah...I can't say, just because it seems pretty good for Monday. That's not a jinx is it?

That's an understatement! All you others who didn't join us in the "reindeer games" really missed out on a great trackday to end the season. 7 AM temp was around 65° and overcast and quickly turned to sun by 9:30 temps rising into the upper 70's. 3 groups, 2 of them "A groups" with 8-10 riders in each of those, and about 8 or so in the combined B/I groups. LOTS of open track and managed to get a 1:19.xx on my first day ever at Roebling (thanks to a tow or two).;) Dragging ass today for sure with 4 hours of sleep and work today, hope to have some vids posted later this week.

Just an update with my videos I took on Monday at Roebling. Great day, fantastic weather riding with friends! If you weren't there, you really missed out. Lots of open track! Was my first time to Roebling too.
