New here from MA

#1 Unread post by OreoGaborio »

Hey all... My girlfriend just got her first bike & signed up on this forum recently so I figured I'd drop in and NOT spy on her :mrgreen:

I'm on the MA North Shore (Topsfield), been riding since 2001, track riding since 2004, racing CCS/LRRS since 2006 and began officially instructing for Tony's Track Days earlier this year.

I've got about 20-25k miles under my belt, 5-10k of that being on the race track. Most of those track miles are at NHIS, but i've done a few laps at Virginia International Raceway North and South courses (see avatar... that's VIR North :lol: )

I own an '00 ZX6R which is my street/track day bike and I race in the Production Twins class at Loudon NH on my EX500 race bike. I also play in the dirt on my '02 KX250 but it'll be a while before I'll be back on that as I'm still recovering from a pretty significant wrist injury from earlier this year :(

If you wanna see pics of em you can find em at www.bikepics.com/members/oreogaborio

Anyway... Just figured I'd introduce myself. I'll pop in from time to time and not read my girlfriend's posts :wink:

Hi Oreo. Are you also on nestreetriders.com? I think I recognize your avatar from there, although I mostly lurk on that board.

Anyways, welcome from another local!

don't gotta be on the road to get to the track... just has to get on a trailer :D

But the no leathers thing is a problem. But Tony's doesn't require full leathers... What gear DO you have?
