Kitchener/Waterloo area, c u next trackday riders thread!

anyone know what the price of the GBM day is in april?

Tim posted this a while ago:
Anyone else thinking about going to the Grand Bend track day on Sunday, April 29th? It's the week before the Shannonville day.
$125 for the day if you preregister. $155 if you just show up at the door.
Talked with Colin at Apex today, and he seemed to be enthused about going... might be he drags some people along too.
 
thanks, still looking at trailer options, likely going to be a week before type of decision, depending on the weather.
 
Only 7 spots left in the green group for the Monday May 7 track day, Nelson course, Shannonville.
Guess maybe I'll have to sign up soon to ensure I don't get cut out...
 
How many spots were there total, 25? If the attendance numbers stay low enough we might get lucky and have only two groups. This has happened a few times for me at SMP. Another advantage to going during the week :)

edit: I just checked the schedule and that weekend is a RACE weekend so if the weather is really good there may be a lot of racers stay for Monday.

Yup - 25 slots initially offered per group.
Would still need 3 slots with me riding... Fast, Fastest, and Über-Cool (not the fastest, but simply the coolest --- a.k.a me). :)

Yo - sign up soon, you won't want to miss out. See if they still offer the combo deal for all the shannonville days.

On a side note- just finished a 10 hour ride on a new street glide through the keys... May need to add one to the stable. Skydiving tomorrow!

Can't do the package thing... too much cash outlay at once right now. Just spent $675 on materials to redo my steps and landings.

Skydiving, eh? Good stuff... try Hang Gliding if you have the chance to -- it's absolutely amazing.

Enjoy Florida! Weather here is great too -- supposed to be 26 on Thursday.
 
just ordered a trailer hitch for the car. Currently looking at either a 4x7 or 5x7 galvanized trailer for about the same price. Problem is I don't have a really good place to store it. I've had painful dealings with uhaul in the past, reserving a vehicle to show up and find out its either not there, or you have to drive half way across the city to get it, but I've never rented a trailer from them. Just wondering what kind of experience others have had renting trailers?

Only rented a trailer from them once before getting my truck.
I booked a motorcycle hauling trailer - went to pick it up, no dice. Just had regular trailers with ramps. Made due. Take along an old dead tire (free from most motorcycle shops) to use as a chock if you don't have one. It won't hold the bike up, but it will help prevent it from rolling forwards and backwards.

Call the place you're going to pick it up from the day before to ensure that you're getting what you booked.
 
Just signed up for Shannonville, May 6th...
ONly 4 spots remaining in Green now...
 
trailer hitch on the way, should be a trailer soon, looking at a 4x7 and an 5x7. Likely going to go with a 5x7. If I do, I'll have room for 1 more. I'll let you guys know
 
were are you looking for a trailer and how much you looking to spend?
 
bought one today, 5x7
 
just FYI, I just got word back from GBM about the saturday, april. 28 date, they have it listed as a motorcycle lapping day, but it didn't show up on registration part. It is a motorcycle day and its now open for registration. May as well make a weekend out of it :)
 
Well, looks like we're just about sorted for the season....

Smergy - good score on the trailer (you may have a new friend for the may 7 shannonville trip - as I'm still without a ride).

All - Whats the consensus on GB for the end of april? Who's interested in going, and what day? (I'm interested, but will only be able to make one day)

Dave - been thinking about my rearsets, and instead of drilling more holes, maybe I'll just add a 'feeler' on my right footpeg that hits before my pipe does? What do you think?
 
signed up for both april GBM days (weekend), likely going to sign up for the 3 pro6 SMP days this week as well, have a TMP weekend booked (no date yet, just credit). If your looking for a ride to SMP, right now the spot is open.

Would like to do a mosport date as well, but haven't decided on that yet

edit: machine, I also have the spot for GBM open, but I'm planning on going both days, likely leaving friday night. I have a place to stay near the track, let me know

I'm not sure about the end of April. For me it will have to be a decision that week. Either day wouldn't really matter to me.

Yeah, that's certainly doable. I think I might have some off my SV still. I'll dig around.
