NJMP report 5/8

Just got homea little while ago and I am burnt and tired.

All in all an ok day.

Getting out of here friday was a nightmare couldnt get my suspension done and didnt even know if my bike would start. I go tdelayed leaving NY due to a lot of little things and we got crushed in NYC traffic. We finally get down there unload the bike and change the oil in the dark then hed off for dinner.

We get there this morningI gas he bike up and fire it up and it starts and runs

then it shut off and gas spilled out, I didnt connect the fuel pump disconnect properly so I secure that and alls good, Was a rush to get teched ad make my first session but I got out in time.

Had a litlte oh shit moment when my tire slid on me on my warm up lap. I was prety anxious since it was a brand new bike to me. rest of the session was ok but am way off my pace. I just worked on my lines and got more acustomed to the bike. Coaches helped me out some too which was nice and twice yelled at me about pitting out, one wa smy fault the other time he said I never signaled but I signaled like 4 times that I was pitting out.

Thats about it for now, I will have some action shots in a few days and will add more later, I am going ot eat dinner and go to bed since I am beat and am going to the met game tomorrow

heres a few pics of me and the bike.

Quads are feelin it this morning and I got the funky sunburn from my watch, baseball cap and sunglasses. The wind was so bad we took down the ez up so it wouldnt blow away so we had little shelter from the sun.

Oh and to keep marko interested there were 2 1125rs there and one was being ridden as a coach. I was going to take a few pics of the red one and sy it was mine

Hey, how is that Harbor Freight trailer working out for you and do you think it would haul two bikes? I can get it for about $200 right now on sale!

Works great, thats a brand new one I just bought my olne lasted about 6 yrs and is prlly still good. I have mine set up so I can tow one or 2 bikes. 2 takes a little doing but can be done. I have done it numerous times and have seen it at the track plenty of times.

Marko we didnt take any other pics, the guy who took pics at the track will have em on his site tomorrow so I will put up a few proofs and may buy a few if I se some I like.

HF trailers are good. Its worth it to buy the trailer, then replace the wheel bearings which are typically the HF trailer weak spot.
