Going back to Tally
I don't think so.

Anyway, going to be at TGPR Feb 10-11 for a private track day/school. Will have my GS and another bike which shall remain nameless (at least it ain't an SV).

JamesG, don't you live relatively close to Talladega?

Yeah! Just down the road.
If you want to "commute" (about a hour or so) you can come crash here.
You are going on a Tuesday & Wed?

Travel Monday evening
Yes, track day is Tuesday and Wednesday
Travel back Wednesday night.

We will have the dogs with us and are planning to camp. I think camping at the track would be most convenient for us but I would still like to arrange a visit. Perhaps Tuesday evening?

9 pm class?!? Yow. I have class until 5:45, and I can barely make it through the class. What are you studying? (If you don't mind me being nosy!)

Bid'ness Administration/Management.  
I was tired of working for a living. I want to boss people around.  :mrgreen:

I would have prefered regular classes, but I had to late register and that was all that was available. Its my only class on Tues & Thurs and has worked pretty well, I get to goof off...  um  I mean, work on fairings and stuff all day before class.

Hey 96GS, how old are you now? If you were 10 and he had a 96 Miata, that puts you in at being born in 86-86. Crazy shaZam!! I thought I was one of the youngest here born in 84. On friday the 13th none the less.

Greg...have fun and get some pics, that's where most of my pics are from.

Wish it would warm up some so I can go back to Jennings. Thinking about the end of Feb or early March.

I've been recruited for video cam duty.
Videos will be posted at www.localriders.com probably late next week.  Although I'm not sure how much footage of the GS there will be.

Cool! I'll be sure to get some laps so that we have a little video. Everyone will have a good laugh at my serious like of the mAdD sKiLz.

Word!

I tried, but didn't get any serious offers. So, i ended up keeping it and will ride it on the street as well as race it. Its in Gravers garage (also known as GS Mothership) for a top end job.
With my SR thats almost done, I'll have 3 street legal track bikes/cafe racers.
