AMS private trackdays posted

Well, I'm planning on going to the April 23rd date at this time.   Hopefully the weather will cooperate and the Duc will be ready. I think Bryan is also planning on going to that one.

I thinking of doing the private day next week. If not I'll be a definite for the 23rd

I have decided to forego the April dates also.  I was going to do the 23rd, but ECR has a Member day on the 24th so I'd rather do that.  Besides, I would prefer to use my 2 SV racebikes, and I'm putting street trim back on the Duc next week.  I'm definitely in for one of the bigger AMS days (when they rent out the whole track).

Did you buy another SV? I thought you only had one and the Duc.??

I thought that having a back-up bike would be the best 'spare'...plus they can share parts between them so it simplifies a lot of things.  I have a 2004 and a 2006 and they are both set up for Superstock (so no major changes).

Cool.  Should be a fun day.  I think I just might be able to make this one also.  I need to call AMS tomorrow and see if they've got any openings left.

Who else is going on April 23rd?

I signed up last week for the Apr 23rd day.  I hope to see you out there Lisa!

we'll be looking for an update for those who went!

Fun stuff today!  The winds were up but it wasn't so bad.  I worked on a few issues with my riding technique and got great feedback from Jeff, Derek, and Marty.  Not much to update on, other than I made progress with my body position

Hey CM do you have any Spare SV race tails that use the stock seat? I got an SV650 (great bike by the way!!!! feels like S2R, wheelies 1st 2nd easy) and im looking to install a race tail just for the look...

PM me if you got a spare one.

That's a tough question since I try to keep quite a number of spares (even a spare bike)

I don't have a spare that I would like to let go at this time (if you said fuel tank - I have 3 spares so I would consider getting rid of 1).

Glad you are enjoying the SV!  By the way, if you are pretty handy, a gxsr race tail will also fit (lots of dremel work).  One of the bikes I picked up has a gsxr tail on and it looks pretty good.

Man, I wish I could say I had, but... NO-OOOH, another track opportunity shot to shit      My "part-time" driving school gig has become more fulll-time, which ain't all bad obviously     But I REALLY wanted to hit this track day... Oh well.

Sounds like Bryant had a great day - Very cool

FYI, I am going to ECR on a member day on Sunday. Tommy (samsonite) is coming along.  If anyone else wants to go, PM me. Planning on being there around 8:30am and will run the whole day.  You need to have track experience so if it's your first time, it wouldn't be the time to go.

Who all went to this?

I was the only person from the board there.  I knew a few others from the last previous AMS track days

All in all there were 2 - 848, 2 - 1098R, 1 - 1198s, 2 - 1098s, 2 - 996, 1 - 748RS (a hot rod with a big bore kit and cams I think it was actually a 858cc displacement according to Jeff)
