was thinking more or less the same thing...get the other one running and either track it or sell it and put the cash towards a new bike (that you buy in the meantime!)

I know, but see there's that whole wedding (and more importantly HONEYMOON) thing we've got coming up in 4 months... all extra $$$ is going to that right now!
And is IS RUNNING actually... the leaks, etc... are all fixed, she's fine in that sense. He asked if we wanted him to just button it up and give it back to me, or try to fix this ONE last thing. Since he thinks it's only about a $40 part, we decided this is the last thing... if this doesn't fix it, then we'll just get it back and deal with the hiccup for the time being. |

Yeah but I think the track will speed up your skills. You're more in-tune with what's going on and don't have the distractions of traffic and cars. So that is still something that will be a challenge to a track person and can ultimately mean their demise.

Yeah, track miles are great for learning how to handle your ride in near perfect conditions. Having a 3000+ lb monster hurtling the opposite direction at 100+ mph 3 ft from your face is a little distracting.

absolutely, to enhance your riding ability, but i was speaking more like mistaking your riding ability for your riding experience. like they say a pound of knowledge is worth an ounce of experience. |
