I know Yank and Wade still have horns on their bikes - I think Yank blew it at me when he flew past me last weekend. I want Yank to do it in a wera race though!:D

As for listening to music while on the race track - that's just crazy. There are and were many times that I heard something wrong with my bike or even someone elses when I was on the track that needed to get off the track fast. I don'think I would have heard that stuff while listening to music.

Just a vent - I live in a college town with a bunch of zombies who can't even wash dishes or walk to the store to grab something without their pod in! :D

The NESBA day on Aug 4th, I thought I heard my bike misfiring, then I figured out I was hearing the gun range.....

MP3, not cool. Ear plugs are the way to go. Concentration level is up and wind noise is down. I can still hear everything going on around me and with the bike. As far as brake lights, yesterday at NJMP I noticed a lot of brake lights, even through the tape. Its a simple fix to get rid of it for a track day, just unplug it! Even thought your looking through the corner to your next spot they are totally in your periferial vision. And riding in the "B" group you have to really keep an eye on the guy in front of you because of the parking in corner situation, so that is increasing my concentration on that brake light. I would try to over look it but sometimes I would find it tough. I could see how it could slip through tech, and I was real impressed at the job the tech guys did yesterday. Lenny gave me a helmet check, which overlooked could create a problem with a poor fitting helmet and they found a bolt missing on a guys front brake lever which eliminated a whole bunch of problems for him and someone else. NICE JOB on tech guys.
Thanks, Chris

I yelled at a guy in T-1 VIR south this weekend. Good thing he didn't have head phones one because he gave me the room I wanted. Wish I had a horn though!

LOL!!! The afternoon picked up a little bit, in the B class. I found myself a good group of 4 or 5 guys that had a good pace around the track. Then of course in the long right and left it slowed down because of traffic. Still a good group and a good pace. Dont know the guys but I'm sure they know who they are, maybe the last 2 sessions of the day, great time.

Toptaz, this not an opinion; should dutch catch you at trackday with that mp3 player on the track your day is likely to be interupted.
To be sure if I see you or anyone else going out with any sort of mp3 player or like device, dutch or whatever director is present will be informed imediately.

Let me guess. Track 1: Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth?

I tape porn pics to my speedometer for inspiration and motivation during a session......no audio though. I couldnt imagine hearing moaning and screaming coming hot into T1 after the straight. Either way, it would give new meaning to the word, asspucker.

I vote Nay on the Ipod. Twist that throttle a little bit more-especially on that 1000rr, that'll pull your attention back to the track. It's my opinion, not yours. Maybe worth an amendment to the rules though. :idea:

? for ya though, how may of you ride with ear plugs?

I had a friend who used to hit the horn on the straight away where friends were standing all the time!
