Another great day at the track
I know this beast is getting old, but damn it loves to run!

Well, our patience paid off, the track dried up very nicely with only a few standing water puddles that were easily avoided. Most riders had already fled leaving a small number of riders who were ready to ride. At first they opened to track up to all riders and we took off on our first lap. Unfortunately, due to a few riders not playing by the rules, we were split up into grounds that alternated every 30 minutes. As it turns out, were were able to get in three sessions which actually equated to more than half a day of track time if we were able to meet our planned intervals.
Turned out to be a great day after all. The morning rain provided some time with friends that I haven’t seen in a while and enjoy some great food that people had been cooking up at the track. Although the track season is coming to an end, I look forward to the coming year, and many more track days to come.
Leaving for the track tonight, can’t wait to get there, unpack and get the BBQ going.
Motovan FTW!
All prepped and ready for a great track day at Buttonwillow.
Should have switched to stiffer springs 70,000 miles ago. Ol’ Yeller has really come alive thanks to the Racetech fork springs. Now I have to get a set for the Repsol.
New Racetech fork springs for Ol’ Yeller. It’s like Christmas only better! Special thanks to Alan at True Value Home Center in Oakhurst. They are also a WPS distributor and Alan is an enthusiast who likes to help out other enthusiasts by offering awesome deals.
I’m thankful to have such a great shop up here in the sticks which has the ability to get me the parts I need usually within a few days
Chaparral Moto had these bad boys delivered to my door in two days. Their prices were the best I could find and they offer free shipping on the tires.
Just got the Penske shock back on, just need to swap out the front fork springs (I’m thinking Racetech), grab some tires, and it’ll be ready for the track.
All serviced and ready to ride.
Can’t wait to get this beauty back on Ol’ Yeller.
