A little update

What's up guys, just checking in... been busy

Finished grad school, published the thesis, graduated, started a new job, moved, been racing, etc etc... plus twfix is blocked at work, so I haven't been around.

Racing still going well... excited to get back up there in a better less-stressed mindset and practice this weekend. Bumped to amateur for round 4.

Bought a second racebike, CRF450R motard. Gonna race it this weekend, already took it out to the new Monticello Motor Club track out in NY... track was fucking fun, tard felt great.

Been control riding at Boston Moto track days, next one is on wednesday.

I Did end up getting that trailer I wanted, 7x16 black vnose dual axle. Did some work to it, wired up an external hookup to power three outlets inside as well as a 8 foot fluourescent with switch. It already had two wheel chocks in the front, I added two pit bull restraints for my two bikes in the back so it can do 4 bikes now. Have been sleeping in it at the track, works awesome.

Couple recent photos:

Gratuitous racing pic, turns 1a and 3:

Makes sense.

So...why refer to the second set as "pit bull restraints" other than to let the world know you are a brand whore?

Sounds like he has them in a tandem configuration. 2 bikes up front and 2 bike behind them. And yeah CEO is a brand whore.

Not chocks.

It is the new system that hold the bike by the rear axle.

There has been another company selling a system like this for a few years but I guess it is new to PB.

Cool setup. I knew Pit bull made chocks but I've never seen those before. Looks like a great way to secure you bike without using tie downs.
