Can you use AASA for Track Days and get your $20 back, or is that only for MA? It does add up after a while.

Doesn't apply to aasa rick. Only ma at ecrd and pi days. Not wacky

But lately I've actually really been enjoying mechanical work, performance tuning and yes, making them look pretty! Although if I'm honest, I still very rarely wash them

Some habits don't change.

I like the mechanical side I just can't motivate myself to sit down and sand fairings back and repair fibreglass and the rest. It's so low down my list of priorities haha

In saying that one day I'll set aside aside a day and do them all at once. Just got to find a day I don't have anything on. 2024 perhaps.

Let me know when your fiber glassing day/year is ... I'll drop off a few of mine for you to touch up too.

+1. I find it's easier to just buy a new set

**Marty** · 14-04-2014, 08:24 AM

I love doing the mechanical work but I hate making the thing pretty. I painted my bike with a few bucks worth of rattle cans in 2011 and it's getting worse and worse. My fairings are pretty much cactus now so I'll buy a new painted set soon and I'll have to force myself to start cleaning the bike :p

**Marshy** · 14-04-2014, 08:48 AM

Here's a tip - the Lowes design looks spotless at all times (without any cleaning) and the Ape in mostly white looks filthy after 5 minutes on track! I'm not a fan of black, and in fact I love a mostly white bike, but damn they look dirty quickly! Mostly it's rubber (and some grease) blobs/marks, but also bugs etc.

Thing with white is that it never looks great in pictures either 'cause it's a PITA to get the colors right since it blows everything out.

Green however...

yes but when your racing at 200km anything looks good, just look at uncle Phil's scratched up ZX10's ;-)

just part of the race prep for the next ride/race, which starts with a wash and blow dry the day after I get home to check over the bike for any problems...bloody OCD lol
proper preparation prevents piss poor performance
