Grange, January 7th

[RC-5Juan]

Who wants to make a trip out to Grange on 1/7? Its an open practice day so we should get as much riding as our 25 bucks could possibly want. Ill probably head out early to be there as soon as they open. Earl? Wayne? Wil?

Also, if anyone is straddling the fence on supermoto and would like to make the trip out, I'll let ya take laps when im not riding (which is a lot of the time with my lazy ass). Just bring your own gear and let me know you'll be coming.

Attending:

RC-5Juan
RSV1000
Jikser
LocalDJ?

[BATMAN]

This looks like a very strong possibility.

[Marmalade Dad]

Hmmm...how far is the drive?

[BATMAN]

Hmmm...how far is the drive?

U going? :D :D

[Marmalade Dad]

Depends. How far is the drive? :P

[RC-5Juan]

bout 70-80 miles from San Gabe. Apple Valley, CA.

[Marmalade Dad]

Faaaaaaaaar... That's like two pit stops for gas on my SHawk. :P

[BATMAN]

Depends. How far is the drive? :P

Oh yeah! I forgot to answer the question.

:doh

[issa]

im in

[BATMAN]

issa? Decided to get into some 'tardin? :D

[Earl]

No offense, but Grange just doesn't do it for me, I like bigger tracks like SOW, Pahrump, LVMS, and Buttonwillow.

[issa]

issa? Decided to get into some 'tardin? :D

no...wil didn't notice that i'm still logged in...too lazy to change it:fawkdancebut yeah if i can use my kids 50...just need to change the tires

[tjtripp]

Since Wilson's being so generous, i guess i'll show up as well.

[RC-5Juan]

I prefer those too, but having a dirt section and 25 bucks for a full days riding cant be beat.

[RC-5Juan]

Also, if rain is forecasted i wont be heading out.

[Earl]

I prefer those too, but having a dirt section and 25 bucks for a full days riding cant be beat.

True, but that drive is a killer, and that dirt road just takes the fun out of going there.

Yep, I'll have some cheese with that whine! :rolleyes

[tR1stan]

is there any open areas for shooting close to there by anychance? i know i used to shoot around bell mountain, but i dont think it was totally sanctioned. i can kill 2 birds with one stone.

I used to go shooting all the time in Mule Canyon. I believe it's before grange. It's off of Yermo Road and you can just go out and blow shit up. I used to go there regularly.

[tR1stan]

thanks t. might do both. no spectator fee at grange im guessin?

[tjtripp]

thanks t. might do both. no spectator fee at grange im guessin?

No there isn't. Hit me up before hand, I might be willing to go shooting. I haven't fired my rifle since it's been worked on.

[Jikser]

Yo john,

What time do they open? Just scored Michelin Intermediates for $175, i wanna try em out.

[RC-5Juan]

They open at 8am. Im shooting for an 8-9am arrival. I think Dom might sneak out to try my bike as well.

Wayne, you coming out?

[RC-5Juan]

bump for attending list.

[Jikser]

I shall be there. Putting the rear wheel back on is a major PITA:wtf1 :bash3

[RC-5Juan]

I shall be there. Putting the rear wheel back on is a major PITA:wtf1 :bash3

It is. My recommendation: Take off the chain guide and install the wheel from the top of the swingarm. When you go to put the chain guide back on, either countersing the holes on the inside of the guide and use countersunk screws to re-attach or just reverse the nuts and bolts to give you a tiny bit more clearence.

When the clearences are that small, every little bit helps. There are some pros out there using 5.5" wheels if you can believe that.

IN.

[Jikser]

5.5" would be nice with a 170 rear...but fuggit...it took me over an hour just putting the rear wheel on. even had to remove the screws securing the brakeline just to put the caliper bracket into the inside rail. anyway....IM READY for the 7th!!! :)

[BATMAN]

Still on?

[Jikser]

yeah....at least I am

[RC-5Juan]

Yes sir. Dom is coming along with us too. Ill call you tomorrow and you can drive over to my place on Saturday Wayne. We'll pick your bike up on the way. What time you want to get there Wil?

[Jikser]

imma head out @<hidden> 0730-0800...should get there in an hour

[BATMAN]

[Marmalade Dad]

What time are you guys gonna pick it up? I can have it outside for ya. Even warmed up, if you want. :lolnod

[RC-5Juan]

[tR1stan]

yo tom,

you still bringing some guns? ill bring my 2 glocks. both 9mm. (buy some ammo if u wanna shoot em)

what ammo do i need to buy for your guns?

(fyi wilson said he'll bring his 357 and a S&W 9mm)

[tjtripp]

Well the only handgun I have right now is my Ruger 357. I'm more interested in shooting my M1A scout rifle. I have 30 rounds for it now, but I need to try and find some surplus at turners. :banana

[tjtripp]

I just check Turners and they have Surplus .308 on sale, but it's like $36 for 140 rds. I know this isn't too bad, but they used to sell that stuff for like $24 or so??? Anyone happen to have any .308 ammo?? I'll let you fire my rifle.. ;)

I didn't fully read your post. But the funny thing is that I just gave away two boxes of 9mm ammo. My friends dad is a gun smith and he gets us into the range for free from time to time and teaches my friends who've never shot how to shoot. I figured I'd hook him up. I'm willing to go buy a bag of 140 rds., even if it is more that I'm used to paying. I haven't fired my rifle since my friends dad worked on it. :banana :banana

I also have a trap thrower and can bring my shotgun and probably my friends Remington 90T. All I'll have to do is go buy a box of clay pigeons (cheap as hell from walmart). So Wilson, Tristan, are you guys down for some trap/long distance shooting?? I'll also look for junk laying around the house to blow up. I may still have some 000 Buck Magnum shells for the Shotgun. Those rounds are the shit!!!

Oh yeah, what time are you guys planning on shooting?? After supermoto I'm assuming. I plan to go to supermoto anyways.

[fast4360]

I only have a dirt bike and a street bike, no motard, but since I am in the area I may come out just to meet some of you guys.

I do have several guns and enjoy shooting as well, but haven't been in a wile.

I will be on a red CBR1000RR. I will try to find the location of the track and show up.

Oh ya, what time?

Hey if you bring your dirtbike, you can play with that right outside of the track. I don't recommend bringing your bike to the track because there's about a mile or so of unpaved road you need to transverse. Bring your dirtbike and guns and let's have some fun!!! :banana

[fast4360]

Will do.:D

[fast4360]

Ill try to show up about 9:30, you shoud be there by then.

[tjtripp]

I should be. I'll PM you my cell phone #:

[tR1stan]

ya i think were gonna go shooting AFTER the trackday, cause i may just run ACH that morning with tetseo

[tjtripp]

ya i think were gonna go shooting AFTER the trackday, cause i may just run ACH that morning with tetseo

Are you still gonna go and try out the supermotos??

[fast4360]

Is this still on?

[tR1stan]

supermoto is totally GAY.

no one can convince me otherwise. i may go out to observe / support / go shooting afterwards.

[Jikser]

Is this still on?

yup...we should be there before 9AM.

[fast4360]

:lmfao supermoto is totally GAY.

no one can convince me otherwise. i may go out to observe / support / go shooting afterwards.

:lmfao :lmfao I'll have to go see for myself.

[RC-5Juan]

I dont know if you have ever met any of us before. If not, PM me and Ill give you my cell number so you can find us at the track. Ill be in a POS red F150 and Jikser drives a Green Titan.

I sent him my cell and I drive a blue/green nissan frontier. I just bought 140 rds of .308 for my rifle. :banana :banana I plan to be there around 10 am.

[tR1stan]

i just got a call from tom. and apparently max biaggi (a resident of rancho cucamonga) is out there on his tard just chillin' so if anyone wants a pic or autograph, you might wanna stop by.

just got home so i guess we are the 1st

yeah i got my pic taken with max biaggi :fawkdance

[RC-5Juan]

Max Biaggi took Dom out and broke his glasses. I managed to hold him off for half a lap. Good times were had by all.

[fast4360]

Yep, Mad Max, I got my picture.:noteeth Thanks for the fun day. It was good to meet you all. We will have to do it again sometime.

[issa]

ok i'm trying to fix a place to put the pics so once i figure it out i'll post mine

[issa]

ok pics are going up...bare with me there's alot

[b1tesize]

did you guys tell biaggi that he fuked up moto gp...

[fast4360]

Strange enough he wasn't acting like a dick, as a mater of fact he seemed to be pretty nice, not the pompous ass that he is made out to be. I don't think we are going to see him in Moto GP for a wile after the sh$t he pulled this year.

[RC-5Juan]

I think Issa's comments say it all...

"dom trying to go against biaggi even if it's his first time on a motard"
