Mick-e: May 2011
http://mick-e-693.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 15, 2011. Humbling - AFM round 3. Last weekend May 6-8 was the 3rd meeting of the 2011 racing season. The race weekend started early with me dropping off my bike with KC at BRG. Back on track I was having a little issue when cracking the throttle open. The engine hesitated just a tiny bit, and bogged a little. KC plugged in his laptop to my bike, and made a change to the fuel map. KC explaining what he's doing. Me not buying it. I rode like ass in the Sunday morning warm up sessions. I kn...

Mick-e: AFM Round 4 - It seemed like a good idea
http://mick-e-693.blogspot.com/2011/06/afm-round-4-it-seemed-like-good-idea.html
Friday, June 24, 2011. AFM Round 4 - It seemed like a good idea. Well like the "The best laid schemes of mice and men Go often askew,. Oh and the race got rained out. I feel sorry to my racing friends that made the trek only to sit around in the cold and wet. However it means I lost no points and will be starting from the second row at my favorite track next round at Sears Point (Infineon Raceway) Hopefully with my head down some good results will follow. Here are some photos from the trackday.

Mick-e: Spotlight: Michelin Tires
http://mick-e-693.blogspot.com/2011/06/spotlight-michelin-tires.html
Friday, June 24, 2011. Back at the start of 2010 Alex Florea of AFMotorsports. Had tempted me with some Michelin. Stand the bike up a little to reduce vibration, or add gas to reduce weight on the front tire. Rear tire starting to vibrate out of 7? Stay on the gas, and increase lean angle. So far it's been a great experience. I'm only just now developing the skill to understand what's happening down there. Thanks to the people that help me go faster.

Mick-e: July 2010
http://mick-e-693.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 12, 2010. AFM Round 5 - Participant or Competitor. Another race weekend come and gone. I spent a lot of time working on the bike the couple of days prior to packing up for the weekend. Last month I had issues with over heating, or at least the radiator pushing water into the overflow bottle. So I took the bike up to KC @ BRG Racing. The engine is tired. On it's 5th racing season the motor is due for a vacation. Once I got the bike home I installed my new Motion Pro Revolver throttle. It was ...

Mick-e: AFM Round 2 at Sears Pt - A Ding Dong Battle!
http://mick-e-693.blogspot.com/2011/04/afm-round-2-at-sears-pt-ding-dong.html
Monday, April 18, 2011. AFM Round 2 at Sears Pt - A Ding Dong Battle! When I first started watching racing back in the late 90's the very colorful announcers would refer when two riders were swapping positions back and forth as a "ding-dong battle" It made me laugh, and stuck in my head. This past Sunday it was very much a din-dong battle. On Friday we practiced with Pacific Track Time, and got 7 sessions of much needed practice. My suspension tuner Dave Moss of Catalyst Reaction.

Mick-e: AFM Round 1 2011
http://mick-e-693.blogspot.com/2011/03/afm-round-1-2011.html
Tuesday, March 22, 2011. AFM Round 1 2011. To straighten out whatever had been bent, and the list was not short. Both inner and outer fork tubes on both forks were bent, as well as both wheels, the upper and lower triple clamps, and the front axle. When it was done I picked the bike up and took it to KC at BRG. Here's a pic of the new sub-frame all mounted up, and waiting for the bodywork. Here's the bike all freshly painted, and ready to race. We packed up said out goodbyes on Saturday night, and began ...

Monday, May 24, 2010. AFM Round 3 - Testicular Fortitude. It's Monday morning my hands are blistered, my muscles are sore, I have bruises on my chest from pressing against my gas tank, and I couldn't be happier.

Sunday, June 20, 2010. AFM Round 4 - A Hot Wind Blows. Here's a pic of the pit set up on Saturday. Note tent with the lack of the canvas top. The wind was blowing so hard it would have taken the tent away, but we need places to hang things like the leather suits, the clock, ect. Here's us practicing the start in the pits. Here's some pictures of the actual start. I finished way down the order. Thanks to the people that help me go faster. Dave Moss of Catalyst Reaction. Paul Fine of Fine Design. The bride...
