Just found this place :) Might have to start hanging out here more often than PNWRiders.. shhh.

[Mr Sunshine]

U gonna come out racing?

[tophyr]

Yep. Sorry, lol, thought that was a given. Still waiting on my WMRRA packet, but hopefully I'll be #942, riding a '98 VTR1000.

Great bike! have you tracked it yet? I've got one as a street bike - LOVE it! I've considered taking it on the track but saw my exact bike crash in front of me at a track day and INSTANTLY changed my mind (nothing like watching all the parts of "your" bike go flying!)

My first motor swap was on a '98 Superhawk....the rear cylinder siezed at 60mph+ on the freeway.

*crossing my fingers THAT doesn't happen*

I did have the tail bag sucked under at triple digits - it lodged between the swing arm and the rear tire and locked everything up! :eek:

That's not good. A know a girl who had that happen to her. She doesn't remember much as she woke up in the hospital with a broken hip and severe concussion.

I got fantastically lucky - I didn't go down. I got to the shoulder, still not sure how.

back on topic - can't wait to see you out there - have you got a first name we can call you by? "Newbies" taken already... ;)

[tophyr]

Eek, to all those stories. Sheesh, you'd think this shit was dangerous or something ;P
You can call me Chris, or "that red f*cker that blew past me" if you like ;) (yeah yeah, in my dreams ;) )

Here's me at 2-fast:

Currently I'm trying to con Seattle University's machine shop into fabbing me up some rearsets so I can actually get the bike moving in a turn :/ Damn things cost $500 to buy.

+2 (one for my SV rearsets and one for my CBR F4i rearsets) I believe the Superhawk could use F3 rearsets but Brent will be able to help figure that out with you.
