well, if wify approves, i'll be there, i have space for one more bike on my truck, the downside is that i don't have a ramp,
perhaps you could borrow one. ;)

is there a place to rent a ramp?

also... im not strong so i won't be much help loading and un-loading the bikes. it scares me.

anyway... i hope your wife approves.  :)

yeah dood, our place literally is right beside the 5 freeway. we could easily go to the 14 freeway from here.

this would be awesome. i'll just share some gas money.

BTW... do you have an extra tie down and canyon dancer? if not... i gonna go buy one within this week.

Buy a big board  :)



Jose, how tall is your truck?  (Is your truck bed taller than mine?)   I have a ramp I don't use anymore since ray and I bought the better one you borrowed last week.  But it's also only 6ft, so unless your bed is lower to the ground than my F150's, you'll probably want to pass.

i think my truck is a little bit taller than yours,i've just  ordered my own ramp from ebay, but i'm not getting it till thursday, in the mean time i prolly stop by home depot to check out their ramps for rent
might find something that will do the job. thanx JC  anyway.

Glad you guys had a good time (except for the incident)

Aldo, did you feel better about this trackday?
I need the sunshine in the morning, I'm heading for the open road.

a little better.

im still going through this frustration phase. i feel like i've been stuck and not improving for quite some time now.

im mostly frustrated that im not using all of my tires...
