Howdy Ya'll That remember me...

How's things? I've been caught up working 3 jobs, 90 hours a week....and my main job is on a computer M-F 9-5, so when I get off of that, I really don't feel like browsing on the net.....

Good news is, my wife got accepted in Vet school in Madison, WI, so we'll be moving there Aug 1...better news is they have Brandimere Track there...so I'll actually be close to a legit int'l track for track days/racing;)

Been keeping busy in the offtime w/ the bikes, I finally got the Fizzer put back together from the two low-slides at the track-days...Its painted all black, with the orange wheels and etc...I got some silver FZR graphics from "Missy" but haven't put them on yet..I'll have to throw up some pics sometime soon...I've referred two FZR owners I met recently at a track day in NM to here...don't know if they showed up?

Here's some pics of my latest racing two weeks ago...as you can see, I've decided not to put the fairings back on, and run "naked"...which is really great, not as much to wreck off;) Plus I look like Mad Max....

Form is getting better...finally switched to Pirelli slicks for the SV650...still think its the best bike for novices, such a light and small bike compared to the FZR...but I cruise the fizzer around town (my luxury ride...). I have to run w/ all the bigger bikes b/c there aren't enough "club" or "twin" racers in NM...but I do okay vs them, they just have the straight-away speed, but I catch up w/ them in the corners;)

Good to hear from you man. Maybe someday I can meet up with you for a trackday. Trip to WI isn't all that bad from here. Glad you and the missus are doing well.

ahh...this ain't work;)

Thx for the welcome back;)

The cost-of-living in just so high here in Durango (think of early-Aspen)...I'm hoping to have much more free time in Wisco.
