TWFix Rally - Page 6

have you ever considered getting a bike just for the track chris? I was under the impression one of the reasons you sold your zixxer was cause of some close calls on the street (or so i've heard, never got the definative story).

Also, at a track, that means you are going to have to pay however many hundreds of dollars for however many days the rally will be just for riding, on top of travel, hotels, etc.

The track is sweet, but unless you want to have a 5 person rally again, probably not a good idea.

Just reading some of the posts, and not to pursuade anyone one way or the other. The BRP isnt intended for any kind of real sport riding. Speed limit is between 35-45 MPH there are some "GREAT" views. However the BRP is always monitored by park rangers and State Police. Is geared more for cruisers and RV's. Which you get stuck behind all the time. Its a federal ticket if caught doing a no no, and on a sport bike, you might as well have serial killer stamped on your forehead for profiling.

I live here so DG, SV, Suches, BRP, lil Swiss, skyway whatever your poison. The only reason I get on the BRP is to skip a town and avoid stop lights between just a few roads. Very boring to ride on.

A 9R not a zixxer...

No real close calls, just checking myself before I got in close calls.

Have no interest in a track bike... don't want to spend the money on the bike or the tons of money for track days.

That is kinda my concern. Not too mention you got guys coming with track prepped bikes, then to the street? Or vise versa...

well the more we get the less it's gonna cost... and we're trying to plan it well in advance so people can save up the money and get the time off. but we'll be doing a feeler to see how many people are even interested.

isn't a ZX9R a ZIXXER? Gixxer is GSXR... I thought ZIXXR was ZX_R

if we do this I'll be hauling my bike... as I'd imagine most would.

we're not try'n to alienate anyone... I just think it'd be a cool opportunity... .

maybe we just call it a TWFix Track Day instead of the Rally

and still plan on the rally... though I'm not sure how many could afford both

Hey,I consider myself an "original member"....

Other than the long trip to Texas,I don't care what everyone does when we get there. So,I'm cool with whatever as long as I can afford the trip and room/board.
