Loaded up the camper truck Friday night. Met my buddy John in Temcula at Moe's Egg House(real good food) around 7, then headed to the track. 2 of the guys from my Facebook group that signed up with me helped me unload my bike. Then class time. This time there was another girl. She rides sportbike with me. The first session out, after we're warned multiple times to take it easy....one guy lost the front and broke his thumb. The around the 3rd session a guy crashed and broke off his brake lever but didn't notice or something and took off wide open down the back straight...through the tires, the grass-all the way up to the fence. That ended HIS day. The irony of the fact he rode to school on the biggest BMW I've ever seen! Looked like a spaceship. Oh well. Then lunch, supermoto style: My day went real well. This time I could absorb more of what Brian was teaching. I focused on getting my line consistent and this time I wasn't getting passed all over the place, which was real nice. I got that hairpin left I was hating conquered finally I even did dirt Then,in the afternoon, I had a dude try to stuff me. You can see how that went: That's him on my left-he's actually behind me Here he's diving in-you have to look close to see him: Apparently, he'd already been warned for something else, so that was the end of him. All in all it was an awesome day. I camped at the track and took advantage of Brian going to get gas to sneak the truck onto the track and take a pic: Sunday I rode my TW and really worked on shifting and braking. I feel I gained alot and definitely wanna do more track days there. It's a load of fun for $45!! Even in 115 degree heat.

I heard him coming at me and was freaking out inside, but I held my line steady like I was taught. The intense focus is all over my face in the pic, lol

Welcome! Also in Lakeside.

They're running a Sand Sports special right now so i'm gonna get one. Will one of you lovely folks help me figure out programming? Or is there anything I need to know before I make the purchase? Thanks

It's the wiring kit for the helmet that's usually so expensive and on sale right now. The radio part ends up being only about $5. I'll post up once I have it.

I'm in your area pretty regularly. I'll bring it by sometime if you don't mind. I could have my father-in-law drop it off/pick it up. He's just down the hill.

Here I come! I finally got my truck 1999 Tacoma 3.4L V6 4x4 114Kmiles Supermoto School this weekend and a whole season of adventure for me ahead! DON'T SAY YOU WEREN'T WARNED!!!!

It would be my honor to do so!! Orange will look pretty back there! I'll have the trailer set up for 3 bikes in another week or 2. About time for some Borrego/Ocotillo exploration me thinks!

Sorry,Daniel, class is full. There may still be openings on the 20th-or you can put your name on the wait list.

I wanna go again. Any interest? A group price deal and carpooling would be ideal. I won't be bringing a bike. Check the calendar, let me know when works for you. Let's take over the track!!!

If you're headed that way with your truck and have room for me and my little bike, I'd REALLY appreciate a lift. Happy to meet you in Alpine or wherever. Will pitch in for gas, buy you lunch...eeeny-teen you whaaaan!! I desperately want to practice my basic skills: standing while riding, rear brake use, getting used to sliding, etc,etc. I don't wanna invade your ride or crush your groove, I just need a little help. OR if you know of a safe, legal place for me to practice in the Lakeside/Alpine area PLEASE let me know!! Thanks in advance.

I was there! I thought that was a secret! Was nice to meet Ozzy. Ken was there too, but I can't remember his screen name-it's so complicated. No ride for me this Sunday. I got a new toy-I'll be at the Bay!!

So......next Sunday, then? ;-P

That was fun! Thanks, Slut! When can we go again???!!!!

Just saw this now. I'm not leaving for 30 min if you see this and wanna rain check lemme know.

Aye, aye, Captian!!

I'll be ready as early as you wanna go-buy ya brunch on the way back.

Next weekend is definitely cooler than riding to Pahrump! Thanks!!

If I can't get to Lark, how am I getting to Nevada??!!!

Thanks,Ken! I'll be ready whenever you say. Set up a better ride for yourself and the others-I'll be happy circling the tree!!

If I can get a ride I will hydrate and tough it out!!

3 spots left for Saturday the 19th. Looking like I'm gonna camp for the weekend. Anyone here still lurking?

I guess I'll get this one started. I had a lovely ride up with Bikeslut and Weirider. Other than the fact that the rabbit done died. But that's Ken's fault entirely. Then there's having the truck keys on the front seat with the doors locked and the entry combo temporarily forgotten.(snicker) I know you're flipping me off right now, Bob. PLUS Nothing like a tire change right off the bat: Especially when everyone helps: More random pix: The rest will have to fill in ride details; I stayed at the play area for some MUCH needed practice. I made a new friend, I think he'll join the group. He already has a handle-meet OneBoot: And here we have Bikeslut on my bike going up: https://youtu.be/7-HACest6Z4 And going down(note the valiant stoppie attempts): https://youtu.be/ACv7GM5wLuk Finishing it all with a bike(and George) cleansing ride home in the rain: Thanks again for the ride Bikeslut! You really DO rock! Was great to see, meet, and share a laugh with everyone! Still can't believe y'all found that phone!! Let's go again SOON!!

Any woodworking hobbyists on here? Or know any? I have a table that was my grandmother's. It's a coffee table that converts(ed) to a card table. It's made of maple. It's falling apart from being moved and stored many times. I don't think it can be restored at this point. I'd like to find someone that can help maybe make something(s) else from so I don't lose it completely. Any help/guidance here would be MUCH appreciated, THANKS!

I believe it's maple wood. I dunno any more than that.
