Sounds good, both of you guys.
You both mention being a bit reticent to get too crazy (and get hurt). Responsible fellows! But (being part hooligan) I will ask how often do you boys get banged up? Could a little hooliganing (unlikely an actual verb) be good enough for the soul to be worth the risk?
I've got one friend (very good rider) but knows he has no self-restraint, and so won't go dirt riding with me. Do you boys fall in that category, or just generally responsible fellows.
Best,
Cobie

Anyone doing anything riding related in the downtime? I've been threatening to dirt ride, should happen this weekend...finally. And ideally taking my daughter to ride, first time--looking forward to it.
So, anyone else? Polishing the bike? Doing upgrades? Watching old races? Re-reading Twist? Telling lies to your pals? Hanging out on forums?

And welcome!

Nice bike...and welcome!

Hi again (I think)
Joined this forum back in 2012 but didn't know I hadn't posted before.
Maybe just looking and searching advice etc.
Riding since 1976 but I did my first CSS (1 & 2) with Keith in 1996 at Phillip Island.
I did CSS 2 again last month (Dec 2019) and will do L3 sometime this year. Lots has changed, the basics are the same but getting so much older with bad habits creeping in and a general body slowdown I thought I'd do it all again.
Great people at the school and lots of fun so I'm looking forward to meeting a few of you there. I'll be at the Phillip Island Classic this weekend and another track day Monday.
Cheers.
I'm jealous that you are getting some track days!
I'd should have been at that school in '96 if Keith was there...

I'm not going to respond (we are already e-mailing), but I am interested in what others have to say on this--good question.

It's becoming a missile through a house or rock wall that grabs my attention. I admire the _____ outta those boys, but like the guy that free climbed El Capitan...not even vaguely interested.

I'm pretty lazy, I like the F-800, probably even with saddle bags. Pretty impressive all round bike. Would love more power, like a 1000 version, so I can be more lazy and not have to shift much :).
Failing that...the single R (1000) is a sweet ride.

Quartararo, you can see he often keeps both legs into the tank under braking. I hope he de-thrones Marquez.

A few years back we were at Laguna Seca after WSB, and I asked Leon Camier about this. His comment was that it was harder to keep the weight off the bars, didn't like that, but it did keep the back end from coming up as much.

I get stressed out watching this...

Looking for another place to ride this weekend. I think there are a very few that are open...in SoCal. We can socially distance, no one has to distance-shame us (if that isn't a term already, will be shortly).
-
I'm jealous. Just heard that some friends rented a track in AZ, 12 of them total, had the gate locked after they were all in, and got a track day in!
I can't even go ride my dirt bike. (Do I sound like I'm whining--I am!).
-
Gorman is closed...really? Looking for another place, heard Wagon Wheel is still open. I think that's BLM land. Any one fancy some dirt riding, maybe April 11? I don't think Mayor Garcetti can turn the power off out there...
-
Many come in the day before and set up, should be no problem.
Regarding tires, always good to check that we have them on hand (if buying from us), but easy to coordinate, just call the office.
As for mounting them in the morning that is no problem. Just get the tires sorted out asap when you get there, and it will get scheduled for changing. JJ gets the first group (white) tires ready first, easy to coordinate.

2000 KX 250 (2-stroke). What a hoot to ride. I know the 4-strokes can be a bit easier, but it sure is easy to start when I watch the other guys kicking the pea-waddin out of their 450's.
Saw that Gorman is now closed, and really...I don't get it. Can easily practice social distancing. We are seeing if we can get to the other BLM land, hope that stays open!
-
My internet is stalled, I can't get the video up of Will riding at Streets...can anyone get to that, let's see what he is doing with the throttle there.
-
Looks like Eddie was going for the inside pass, had to back out when he wasn't going to make it and when he did ran wide and tagged Schwantz's rear.
-
Yeah I don't worry too much about a wide entry into T-4.
-
Planning on a little social distancing at Gorman, on Sat April 11 or maybe even Sunday, April 12. In case other's might want to socially distance themselves to an OHV area (providing still open).
-
Love to watch the whole thing, but at work...can you say what minute the crash occurs?
-
Vic, I think it could be run tighter, and still work. Wider first apex, where will that end up pointing the bike/positioning the bike for the 2nd apex? Could a tigher 1st apex help?
-
Refresh me, up to what level have you done with us?
-
So are we!!!

Hi Jeremy,
Just to verify, you have not done a school with us, is that correct?
Best,
Cobie
