Yes I am

[Phamous]

Hello Everyone, I signed up here a while back but actually just started posting here. I used to work with Arnold, so thats how I heard about it. I ride an 01 R1 Red and live in Mira Mesa. I've done a few track days including Laguna Seca (fav so far). I'm down long walks on the beach, nights by the fire........:uhh: wait, wrong forum. :lol: I'm pretty much always down to ride whenever I have free time... The beach, lunch, twisties, and track days... I have a met a few of you guys already and looking forward to ride with a few of you soon.

My name is Mike and yes I am a newbie.

My Baby...

welcome, but try and keep information like you knowing Arnold to yourself :-p

Nice setup. Did you have any problems with the aftermarket exhaust at Laguna? Did you go there for Superbike school, CLASS rides, or just something else? By your avatar pic, it looks like you rented a bike for a track day... and have my helmet. (Actually, so does Ceez).

I actually rode my old ZX6R at laguna and had a Yosh slip on. The trick is to cruise up the hill from turn 5-6 at low rpm's when someone is in the booth. My brothers friend had Termi's on his Duc and didnt even get harrased. I was at Laguna with Club Desmo for the track day, it was a 4 group format.

That is me and my bike in the avatar. My friend sold me some race bodywork (that he went down with) and sold it to me for $100. I need to do some patching and dont really care about the looks for the track, so i'm going to have to rambo it.

As for MY helmet, i've had it for almost 3 years...so its possible you have mine! :-p AND, I just purchased a Black Hayden Replica so i've been cruising around with that. I'm sure one or two of you have it too. :lol:

As for my admittance of knowing Arnold, I was trying to make it look like he had 2 friends. :D

Thanks for the welcome guys!

[Arnold_R1]

Hey Mike, check out a link I found about your bro's old bike! :holymoly:

Pete's ZX-7 (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/webzxr/zxr750r/Features/petepham.html)

[Phamous]

I've already seen the CHECKS and balances that Patty holds on him already :lol: I'll see if I can get pics of my brother's race bike and post them. He's got a track prepped 636 with Full Akrapovic and PC. He has the suspension all built as well...pretty sweet load... Nice find on the ZX7/9R...I actually never saw it before. He's got an 02 R1 as his daily rider.

BTW- I got the Black Widow off of the R1 forum for $150, and used a micron Mid-pipe....

Thanks for the welcome R6Chick...where are the pics of your bike??? Lets peep it!

Hopefully we can all hook up for a ride one of these days!

What checks? I'm writing more checks then my bank account can handle! :-p Yeah I actually saw your brother race that bike the first time I went to SOW back in 4/03. Those march's stuck out like a sore thumb. :headbang: Does he still have his Bimmer that he uses to tow it. :roflmao:

He still has it, but after going through the first M3 motor, he bought a Taco for his tow vehicle. The Bimmer pretty much chills in the garage....
