How many SV650 racers in 2001??

Anytime we're together?? Are you refering to a Race Team or my weight???

And anyone who says anything about me not going fast enough to wear out TSR's tires will NOT get thier name drawn for the entry credit for attending Rider's Meeeting!! Ya hear that, Roach?

I spent quite a bit of time with Lee Acr....I mean Cherry Picker this past weekend and he let me in on some top secret Suzuki info. It seems Suzuki is not only going to provide 2 factory built SV 650s for him in Sept. 2001 (just in time to qualify for Suzuki cup) but they have set them up for him to ride simutanously therefore collecting prize money for first AND second.
Personally, I think it's an outrage because that means I will have to make twice as many trips to the tire truck. Chuck, from what I understand, is still waiting to hear from Pirelli reguarding doubling the budget for unubtainable special tires. More to come as I spy within the Arclight camp

What are you doing? You know somebody is gonna think this is serious and start another cherrypicking debate!

 

Hey now! I resemble that remark!

Novice(Black SV). SE region. D-SB and LWT. First season, so I'll be heading up the rear for a while.

 

What do ya mean? I am serious! Just wanted to give that somebody plenty of time to buy a RC-51 or something that would be competative for them in LW class.

 

I have no worries about you needing speed to wear out the tires.

Cool, now I'll have an excuse for being back there too! "I was, uh...watching her!! Yeah, that's it!"

frkF4gir1, you gonna make the first race in Talladega?

 

I'll be there!!! '99 SV, same one I won 12 races on last year as a novice. Will be running expert #36 this year, look for the flat black bike, like Ducati is painting their streetbikes. I will be running and hopefully winning the Mid-Central Region LighTwins, F-2, and selected Heavyweight Twins races(Talledega). I can't run many nationals, they interfere with my work schedule too much.
I'm not looking forward to the drive to Hallett, Ok. in March, but I will be there for the first time. If anyone can give me any details about the track there I'd appreciate it.
Well, in all seriousness, I'll just be at the tracks this year, having fun, that's what it's all about.

 

Oh, I forgot to add that all 6'1" 220lbs. of me will be on that bike.
I don't know how the diet went wrong, I should have been at my ideal racing weight (165lbs.) by now!!!
Well ya'll have fun jockeying around behind me for the drafting tidal wave that always follows me around.

 

I'm not going to make it to the first race. On Feb 9th I'm having my third and what I hope is the final operation on my wrist I broke (shattered) bailing off of my YZ250.
If the operation does any good I should be at the next SE race as a novice on a stock SV.

 

I should be at the next SE race as a novice on a stock SV.

SE Expert 888 Standard SV. Almost have the bike finished, still waiting on bodywork to be painted. Only problem is I sheared off the left side motor mount bolt! I swear it wasn't my fault! Is there a machinist in the house?

I'll be out on a SS spec SV in the mid-atlantic...

 

Left last years R6 race bike for a 99'SV as a novice. Plan on LWT, F2, and LWSolo20's in the Southeast. Did you guys know this thing only has two cylinders?

 

Are there any "novices" out there who aren't climbing off of one race bike to get on another? Do I need to lobby WERA to create a new class - "Real novice" ??? I have reserved my place at the back of the pack and will deeply resent anyone with any experience trying to take it from me

 

I haven't raced since 1997. Does that count? If I can't get my wrist fixed it looks like you might have save me a space at the back of the pack.
I did the Frank Kinsey (no brakes) thing at Roebling just to see what I could do with my gimped up arm and all I could squeeze out were some 1:27s.

 

I figure you'll be sooooooo focused on the 250, that you'll just forget to bring the 400RRRRRRR to the track.

 

When you and I are at the same track, at the same time.

 

Last year was my first year racing, did ok the first few races, but had a nasty highside at roebling, and a lowside at CMP. My body finally healed, but I don't think my mind did. I was not going as fast the second half of the season, I was pretty average, a mid-pack racer. I guess I had some kind of "mental block" or something. So I hope the new bike and new classes will let me get faster and better. If not, I guess I'll be fighting for 28th position with you :P

 

I'm on schedule thus far!
