You've got 2 weeks... plenty of time. Get it in gear, pal...

Rage would have been done already... ha!

My biggest obstacle right now is flushing the radiator and replacing it with water wetter.

I'll talk to the "wallet holder to be" about my availability, and if so, I'll order some tires

prolly gunna order shinko ravens as I dont have a spare front wheel and dont want to order supoersport tires that I will just square off in 1500 miles again.



tires are all I need to do the suspension swap, well I have a rear tire I can use, but I would like to run matched tires on the track.

my stock rear is old and too crappy to take on the track

plus.........worn POS suspension sounds like not fun at the track

Your suspension isn't going to hold you back that much at the track, especially in the Novice class or Test the Track.

Run distilled water only though. While I was sitting there waiting on my FZR for the group to hit the track, my FZR was overheating and leaking from the overflow. Luckily I did a partial radiator flush, otherwise, they might have handed me a mop.

The Shinkos will do you fine at the Track Day.

I really do hope you can make it. I think you would thoroughly enjoy yourself.
