I was tempted to sign up for a few dates the other night, but decided I want to have the thing for the bike done before doing so. I pulled the forks/shock off it Sunday and plan to send the stuff out to thermosman sometime this week. Here she sits at my dad's house:
Did anyone make it out to the track Saturday? I know some of my friends in cars went and said there was a decent turn out, and beautiful weather.

Did he have you go to the Ohlins USA site, fill out the work order form and send it to the address on that form? Thats what he told me to do. I was just wondering because I was wanting him to do the work, not a generic Ohlins shop.
Im kind of in a tough spot. I want to send the stuff out to him, but at the same time, Sportbiketrackgear is doing a deal where you can buy 1 Mich PRC front and 3 Mich Power Race soft rears (190/55) for $449. At the moment I can only do one and Id hate to do the suspension and they quit doing the deal. Im probably going to end up with the tires first..

Oh, I guess that would make sense then. 
What did you have done? From talking to him on the phone, it seemed the spring swaps for the forks and shock, with freshening everything up was going to run somewhere between $350-$400ish. I thought that was a bit high, and was going to do it myself. The shock looks pretty easy to swap, but I dont really want to mess with the fork internals after reading up on it. Im just going to send them off to him and know its done right.

New guy from the Tidewater area. I ride VIR and Summit point. I have a G20 van with a hitch. Normally I put the bike in the back, drive to the track the night before, remove the bike and sleep on the floor. Richmond is not out of my way. Old and slow still likes to get out on occassion.

I just had the rear shock rebuilt and changed the spring....
guess, in total, my suspension (forks and shock) were ~$400
