Or have a friend that lives here, stay for the season then go back home. The taxes and other things suck here. :dry:

Yes, taxes and 'things' (like bike insurance :angry: ) are brutal here as well. For a motorcyclist, you DO have some nice side benefits though. :lol:

Some added fun, here in Northern California, I have raced my GPz550 (ZX550) with AFM at Buttonwillow Raceway, Thunderhill Raceway, and Sonoma Raceway (Forever Sears Point Raceway). I used 15/40 sprockets at Thunderhill, and never ran out of gear. The other two tracks I used 15/42, and never ran out of gear there either.

Yeah sucks that riding/racing season is coming to an end here Drew.
Getting cold too in the mornings and night for riding.
Next season you should be good to go.

Have you been out on your other bikes?
I haven't seen you this season.

Hey Rob!! Ya, it's been a great summer... lots of great riding weather! B) I don't like that the the colder weather is on the way, but it's inevitable. :cheer:

I've been out bombing around on my zrx and my Ninja Project as well. None of the vintage wheels though. ;) It's been a pretty good season with a few days left yet. :laugh:

I hafta get it on to a dyno to properly work out the tuning. Once that's done, we should be good to go. I'm not sure how soon that's going to happen, but when it does, you'll know. ;)

Also looking forward to seeing your bike Drew.
Where will you be racing?
I was out to the track at Mosport a few weeks back on the zrx.
Hoping to be back many times this year.
