Official 2016 GNF thread

Yuck. Glad you are OK Chris. Those multi bike pile ups suck bad. Just remember, no matter how sore you are it beats the hell out of sitting on a rig in the middle of the ocean...

 

Thanks dude. Yeah, that is true.

I feel like warmed over smashed ass today, but I'm pretty sure nothing is broken or anything like that. Nothing that some GNF adrenaline mixed with a sniff of MR12 won't fix. Ill be good to go Friday.

 

I'll be there late Wednesday night. The rest of our crew will be there late afternoon on Wednesday

 

Nobody cares.

 

When I drove up, the look you had in your eyes was wierd. It was a mixture of wtf, now my shits scratched, my bikes fucked, this sucks, I want to punch a baby, wtf happened, and dont tear my shit up when you load it lol.

 

It can be terrifying to be a part of a big multi-bike crash like that. Glad you and everyone else is ok.

Will be there Thursday AM.

 

I came out of museum and saw you guys still sliding. Glad you're all ok. See you all Thursday night. My trailer is the small ugly black one with a fish on it in G lot. If someone gets there before can you make sure it's still there?

 

Race gas and adrenalin will cure almost anything!

 

wow, this reminds me of a few years ago at a TD there and a bike popped a motor exiting T2. I came though there and the sun hit it just right so I checked up but the next 9 bikes wasn't so lucky.

Glad your OK Chris.

Good luck everyone at the GNF. Wish I could be there

 

Chris glad you are okay.

That reminds me of a time Tyler crashed. Bike was a bit mangled, but then the crash truck guys dropped it onto the good side and dented the canister. Tyler told me about it when we were accessing damage. I asked him if he said anything to them and he said no, I figured they were doing the best they could. Smart kid, I think he learned from his mom. When I raced I probably would have been stupid and said, nice job or something along those lines. Luckily, now that I'm older, I think I could have kept my mouth shut. LOL.

 

Good luck to all you guys racing Barber! I'm getting a little tired of Daytona....maybe a little WERA next year...

Is the GNF invitation only? What do you have to do to qualify?

 

Where did we land on snorkels?

Also, why are Dunlops so bad, and Pirellis so good?

 

Make it into the top ten post count in one month on the bbs that year

 

So MetalHead has a lifetime invite ...

 

That's cool. We will be there all day.

I had read that somewhere else and I asked the guy about it when I was filling out the form (if we are supposed to go to Lot C or Lot G), and he said Lot G. He said a couple of other people have asked him about Lot C and he wasn't sure where that was coming from.

 

Dude. That is perfect. That is EXACTLY what was going through my head. Haha

It was like, I was sooo fucking mad, but I knew there was nobody or nothing to actually be mad at. His motor blew, it happens. I was just in a bad spot at a bad time. There was nothing anyone could have done about it. But I was loving that bike and it looked so badass, and now its fucked up and I wanted to uppercut a puppy.

That was the first time ive ever went down on oil. It was a weird feeling. I mean it was instantaneous. As soon as I leaned over to the right, that was it. No warning, no chatter, no noise, just gone. But we are hauling ass through that chicane, so I slid forever on my ass (trying to dodge more bikes that were sliding behind me), then I hit those concrete gatorback rumble strip things and it sent me tumbling.

 

Ah ok

Where is C? I don't think I have ever seen that sign.
