I signed up for the AMS Private Track Day this Thursday with Jeff & Derek.
Jacob (Jester) was also shamed into signing up as well, so we're trailering out together...
Jacob was #10, so it's full, but just wondering who else is signed up?

I'm very excited about this! The high is supposed to be below 90 ( :o), & I should have my DP quick-turn throttle installed by then...

I appreciate the offer, but in all reality I wouldn't want to risk someone else's bike at the expense of me pushing myself to the next level of trackdom if you will.  I'll punish my little monster for the rest of this year and spring for a trackbike sometime in 09'.  Thanks again for the kindness my man.

That is one of the best mods I did to my ST4s. I thought it would be way to touchy, but it's actually easier to manage just riding around town. I ended up getting one of these: http://www.electraeon.com/throttlecam.html so I don't know if it is the same as the DP kit. Awesome, simply awesome!

Wrist is to throttle as finger is to trigger.

Oh, and I'm jealous by the way!

So how does one get notified of the super double top secret track days with Jeff? Also, what is the cost? I won't be doing any more this year, but maybe come spring time...

I've used up all my kitchen points this year with going to Indy for the race and the Ducati only track day in Putnam the monday following. Can't wait!

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Looks like a short-cut to where I ended up. The DP QT came with my bike, just not installed.

No secret really... AMS likes to host the track days for AMS customers preferable.
Jeff generally does 1 or 2 Private Track Days a month, depending on MSR's schedule.
Normally it's on their website.
I just happen to ask about track days every time I go in (very frequently ;D)
