Grand Rapids Area Riders

[SumoPsycho]

Fox Powersports is sponsoring a track day July 20 at Grattan Raceway.

Don,t let me be the only hooligan out there representing SMJ.

[bikefrk]

Remember, you have to physically go into either of the dealerships to get a voucher, then when the registration goes live, you have to hope you are lucky to get a spot.

I plan to be there if I get registered, and this is coming from a guy who has a spouse that works for Fox.

[SumoPsycho]

I have to go to the dealership this weekend to pick up some parts I ordered, and plan on checking on what requirements rider and bike need to run.

I asked about the track day when I picked up my parts.

They didn't know about it.

Have your wife keep her ears opened and Please let me know when the sign up starts.

[bikefrk]

If you have Facebook it is on there. I don't anymore so I can't give you the link.

At Shawmut, ask for Kevan or Beckie.

At Fox Kentwood ask for Kyle or Ozzy.

I seriously hope this day doesn't overbook. That will suck.

But I plan on being there for some supermoto action!

Also going to Grattan on April 8th for a trackday.

April 7th is the Team Chicago day. Nice refresher after a winter off.

April 8th is Easter, but I have to ride!!!

[SumoPsycho]

Thanks, I'll have the wife look it up on facebook.

[bikefrk]

Found it even though I am not on there!

[SumoPsycho]

Thanks , you've been more help than the people at Shawmut.
I'll stop @ Kentwood on my way to work on the 2nd.
35 people per class, looks like we'll need a little luck.

I think I'll show up even if I don't get a spot, all I need is 1/2 a reason to take the day off work.

I get very confused this time of year.

I will be at Silver Lake next Sunday.

Grattan the 8th.

I want to do some trail riding also.

I am thinking I need a dedicated supermoto bike.

I have both, a SM for pounding the pavement and a plated off-road bike for tearing up the woods.
It sure makes things allot easier.

I'll be around G.R. from about the 13th of April until the 10th of May, would be nice to ride with some other supermotos.

Well lets organize a ride.

Do you guys just like to cruise around or do you want to ride places we really aren't supposed to?

If I wanted to "just cruise around" I would be riding a Hardly.

[bikefrk]

Ok, I'm knocking the dust off my normal routes around the city. Went and grabbed a quick lunch down in Cherry Hill area today and then did some hooligan practice on the way home.

I didn't know they had supermoto parking here. Very nice!!!

[JAKOVASAURUS]

It's legal to have the bike on the sidewalk as long as the motor is off and you are pushing it right? Nice bike by the way.

Hell if I know, I jumped the curb and rode up the handicap ramp. LOL!

I need to buy a security chain and padlock. I don't like leaving it out of my line of sight. Way to easy to make off with one of these.

[SumoPsycho]

I can't wait to see that pretty blue bike in my mirrors.

OK, concerning the voucher, you can only get it at Fox Kentwood, speak with Kyle or Ozzy.

April 9th is the day to go in and get it, then sometime in June the registration will be live on the STT website.

[Zeno]

I know I will be there with the SXV, and the Dorsoduro

My buddies will be there with his CRF450X, another SXV, and a Husky.

Last year was fun, pumped for it again!

[bikefrk]

WHEW! What a trackday yesterday. Only two groups, thirty minute sessions. I am way out of shape, couldn't get a full 30 minutes in.

Battled with a buddy with him riding a borrowed Aprillia.

Got a little close for comfort once!



Here is a lap from my bike. 1:39...it's an ok lap time for a slow street guy(me)!

[bikefrk]

Anybody want to ride this afternoon? 4/9/12

I cannot tonight, but I will next time for sure. I gotta install my springs from traxxion tonight to compenstate for my giantism.HAHAHAHA
and I am super bummer I missed team Chicago yesterday. Go figure the one year I don't do it is actually decent weather.

Who had the borrowed Ape? Someone from Fox or one of Soupys friends?

FYI Michigan Supermoto series test and tune day in 2 weeks!!!!

[bikefrk]

It was a Fox employee and friend on Soupy's bike that he picked up from Fox.

[Zeno]

Gotta be Kyle or Dan. This is a fun guessing game.HAhahaha

I am going to guess Kyle?

[bikefrk]

If it was Dan I wouldn't be close to him. That kid is an alien on a bike!

[Zeno]

If it was Dan I wouldn't be close to him. That kid is an alien on a bike!

Agreed!!!! Yeah he iws sooooooo Fast

[bikefrk]

Just made a new mount for the GoPro. It attaches to the lower fork pinch bolts. I need to make it out of steel now so it doesn't flop around.

And it was cold out tonight.

Make sure you select 1080 for the playback.

[bikefrk]

Street ride soon?

I am thinking about changing back to the dirt gear unless someone wants to ride soon.

[College]

Well I'm in town now but this weather is crap. If there is a nice day soon I'll be out riding.

But I start a new job tomorrow working 3rd shift.... so not sure when we can get together.
How about we set something up for the weekend, maybe just meet up for a drink some where?
You both have my # give me a call.

[bikefrk]

This weather is great today. Maybe time for a little putt around the city?

If not, I just have cleaning to do on my boat.

I ALWAYS have something to do, but will break off for a bike ride no problem!

[SumoPsycho]

College, you missed the ride.
Get in contact so maybe you can roll with us next time.


Can't wait to see the video.
Let me know when your ready to go again.

[College]

To cold for me yesterday, headed into GR in a few minutes though.

[College]

I've got one more weekend here, weather isn't looking that great though.

[SumoPsycho]

I'll be working all weekend.

[College]

Rode out to Grand Haven today, right before the storms got this far south.

[Hunter650]

Hey would you want to go for a ride this Sunday? I got a wr250 and want to ride with another sumo. I pm'd u my number hit me up.

[hondamxer161]

See you at the fox track day.

[bikefrk]

See you at the fox track day.

Everyone did get signed up for the Fox trackday, correct?

I will be in intermediate, maybe getting bumped to advanced if intermediate fills up. I don't want anyone to miss the day. I am not a fan of a supermoto in the advanced class because of closing speeds on the front straight, but I can deal with it.

And I am bringing my WR supermoto AND my new to me 2008 YZ450f supermoto. Primarily gonna be on the YZ, bringing the WR for anyone that wants to try it out. Still finishing the YZ. The suspension goes off on the 9th to Michigan Engineering for lowering and whatever else he does to make it a sweet asphalt trackbike!

I did not get signed up, but I heard a rumor that they are letting some bikes run on the track during the lunch break.

Did you ever get time to edit the video from our ride?
