It's a great feeling when you do something like that for yourself isn't it?
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Great V! Next thing we'll hear you bored out your cylinders and installed oversized pistons with a toothpick and some silly putty, McGyver style. Dunno what you mean by a bad tape job, looks good to me.

What's wrong with that? Macguyver was a great show, and s``o far my bike runs great! lol Anyway, that sounds like fun Verm. And I'm curious, are your turn signals on your mirrors? Only reason I can think of to have wires running to them...

Power mirrors on a bike? huh, guess I hadn't heard of them yet. Those sound fun though...

F^#&(@%^)#ing HELL!

i just accidentally deleted my vid of the trackday.

im so pissed off right now.

i watched on my tv... then when i was about to copy it into my pc... i booted my PC and it was disk checking my cam hard drive, i cancelled it and went on to windows. but when i checked the cam drive... there was freakin nothing on it.


it got F#^@&#ing deleted!!! :evil:

i was gonna show to you guys, my co-workers, my friends at the philippines, etc.

i can't F^*(^@#(ing believe this.




well anyway... this track is way technical compared to the big track.

i ran off the track 2x. :oops:

im getting good at off-roading. :lol:

my buddy crashed very late in the day. he's a good rider, he just made a mistake and his tires didn't have enough grip to compensate.

he was actually saying before he crashed that he's not feeling very confident on his tires. (his tires has seen 3 trackdays already) and there he goes, he crashed on the next session. he regrets not changing his tires.


oh and i still didn't dragknee but i'll get there with enough trackdays.

here's our pit. jose, the guy i rode with, he's very cool.
