Are we done yet, this thread has blurred my eyes and this detracks from my race pace street speeds. :laughing

I think this thread has turned into that Russian bike pile up on the bridge. :laughing :laughing


mcarb has made some good cooments.


Mike has the BEST comment of all:

Here's some more info to "stir the pot" some...

Jeff Ward qualified for Daytona this year and he'd never even ridden a sportbike before:wow

kabazauls and Holeshot and Budbandit have had a good sparring. I will add that "faggot" has lost much of it's insult power over the last few years just like the word "coward". I think HS was simply making jest and not insult.

Alexey, I prefer the hallway. :laughing

This thread is the 5th most commented BARF thread and about 60th most viewed. I think commented is faster that viewed. :laughing
 
I wish I was a mod so I could not only lock this thread, but I could squash it.

have you used any mojo?

Interesting some of the votes in the poll, it makes me wonder if people are serious or joking
 
If in the future anyone is tempted to create a thread of this nature please call it,

""fast" road guys "reasons" for not going to the track".

Many people have many "reasons", they shouldn't be viewed as "excuses". "Excuse" makes it sound as if a person has a duty to go to a track to learn to ride fast. We know it's beneficial but it's hardly necessary or even desirable for the average rider.

OK I've really beaten this thread to death, I'll let it die peacefully now( I hope).

:later

Yeah, whoever thought we'd be allied on an issue. Maybe a new brighter future Karlitos! (by the way, I really do want to go ride those roads in Spain now...I didn't before...!)

Stranger things happen :teeth

Off topic: On

Actually, you really should (if you can $$). Better, bring a US bike and let er rip past the foto radar :laughing :teeth There are really tons of great roads through out spain, hardly any tar snakes ;)

But, must not forget tracks like Valencia, Jerez, Montemelo, Jarama, Albacete, Almeria or even Estoril :) It is certainly an experience to ride such great tracks. There are plans to build a few more world class level tracks too. It makes money as a whole for the county... One would expect more biz sense in the states :confused

Actually, it is not nutz to bring a bike, ride it and sell it without a loss. I've had US plated bikes for years and never once was asked for import papers (not even by UK cops). For a track bike, heh, heh less so ;)

Anyway you can get an unbiased from fellow barfer out in Barcelona :)

Off topic: Off

I think it would be a pity to squash one of the few really interesting and lively threads that we have had in a long time.

I agree. Besides, flaming never hurt anyone :teeth
 
Karlitos, I'm so in! Planning now....!

Thanks man! I'll keep you updated.
