Any of the KX Riders heading to Bike Week?

Think it would be a great opportunity to have a KX Riders get together on one of the nights!

Will try again?

It was almost 70* there today & I am in need of some SUNSHINE! Even though DMG has mucked up the Road Racing, still looking forward to the Supercross & Short Track (which has moved to the Speedway on the outside of turn 2).

Jerry,
It's the first week of March & I can hardly wait to see some warmer weather & get a chance to ride. We have been hammered here with snow & the forecast calls for more tomorrow & Wednesday.
Load that big Cummins up with the 12 and grab the other boys from MO & head down even if it's just for the Weekend.

Hello Doldguy! I'll be there from Wednesdaythrough Sunday. I have to shorten my stay this year due to the increase of work brought about by a rather large fire at our distilling unit. Maybeybe we can get together / meet for a beer one day and make it the Official 1st Annual KX Riders Daytona Bike Week Fest!

I just found out my buddy Josh Hayes won't be riding the 200 because of the Superbike Doubleheader. I feel somewhat sad for him. Yamaha has him committed to the Superbike class. It's ashame because he's had that win in his grasp a few times, but has been deprived. Last years' 2nd place and '08's win that was taken back because it was noted at the tech teardown that his crankshaft was polished which is against the rules. Erion Honda must have performed some manicuring to it!

Yeah DMG leaves alot to be desired. Last years fiasco with the Pace Car almost had riders down. Pulling in front of the wrong riders and flagging them back around the pace car. During the riders meeting Miladin and others were complaining about some of the dangers they were facing and the officials wouldn't even acknowledge.

The friend that I pit for won't be riding this year due to the economic situation and sponsors pulling way back. That's good for me. Less work and more time to relax and watch the races!

Anyway, the racing will be great and the weather will hopefully be the same. My crew and I stay at the track in the infield.

Anybody else headed down to the Sunshine State?

Doug,
Take a little ride south to the Kennedy Space Center.

Not one of the big boys, but still a night launch. See, hear, and feel some real horsepower!

Larry

EDIT: I forgot that Wednesday is Flattrack night.

Started the day off cool (in the 30's) but turned out to be a beautiful day in the 60's. Hooked up with some Good Canadians for a Poker Run for about 200 miles for a Great Ride. Heading to the track after our yearly dinner @ J.B.'s Fish Camp (awesome Coconut Shrimp) & attempting to hook up with Throttle Junky.

CBX it looks like your week will be even better!
