I went down to ORP in May 2009, and as it was the second scheduled motorcycle trackday ever there I thought I'd make a shortish documentary covering the experience.

The short of it: The track layout is awesome, I recommend you go out there if you get the chance.

The long of it: http://vimeo.com/5682526

It went great! No issues with the plated and screwed wrist! I was off pace but then it had been 4 months since I'd been at PR and I was lacking in the cardio dept.
Was good times. Can't wait for the 18th!!!!

So the post op therapy is going well! Coming out of the surgery I had almost NO MOTION in my fingers and wrist, they were seized in a half fist like position. After 6 weeks of therapy I can now lay my fingers out flat or open (like how you'd high five) and conversely I can almost close my fist completely. The wrist motion is still very limited, but it's improving weekly.
I had the pin removed a week and a half ago and needless to say that was a feakin huge burden removed. It got slightly...

Workin on video #2, all the parts from Thunderhill '08 where I don't crash. ha!

Kind of a late blog entry, I know. Anyway, Thunderhill was great, I think it was probably the best track day weekend of my life. No kidding. It was my second time at T-hill but damn if i didnt feel like I was flying. Ya, ya, I know, Im no racer and there are people plenty faster than me, but damnit I was feeling unstoppable, which turned out to be ironic.
I got some great video and had some great times with friends. Unfortunately 10 minutes, yes TEN MINUTES, away from packing up on the second...

Seriously, if I dont ride soon my head is going to pop. This is just pure torture.
I probably cant even get back to street riding until early june... and Ive pretty much cracked already. Not good.

Started physical therapy on the fingers last week. They...

So the paint boot is built (aka Death Booth, do not go near that thing after its been used without a respirator!)
6' x 6' x 6'


Got the tail sanded and primed. Doesn't look too bad for a budget piece.
Unfortunately, getting these fairings done before Thunderhill is NOT going to happen. I'm using 2 part paint + 2 colors + clear coat. That's 5 steps (multiple coats each). So even...

Track bike got race skins for this year. Got them fitted for the March 19 2fast date. Hopefully for Thunderhill I will have them painted. Here's what it looks like now:



And here's what I'll be shooting for:
