Firemanjim:
My source for the Aris/Ares controversy was from a Google search. I came up with this website for a Greek soccer team:
http://www.arisfc.gr/page.aspx?item=3Read the story and you'll see they imply it's a Greek god of war, spelled with the "i' rather than the "e".
Whatever, the poor guy about whom we're talking says it's his given name, not his chosen one, so maybe we should allow him to spell it any dang way he wants to, hey?
Back to you, Mr. Aris: I wouldn't have compunctions about leaving a pit bike or chase truck or whatver at the far end of the course (after making sure the officials don't have a problem with the parking location or whatever, of course). Maybe a note left on it, explaining why it's there...
As for finding someone in the pits that's willing to help move you around the course -- you'll almost certainly find someone willing to help.
As for an '01 12R -- Hey, great! My bike's an '00 ZX12R. The more the merrier -- too many 'Busas out there (compared to the 12Rs)(boy, this is gonna bring tons of crap down on me, I can just feel it coming). Another Kawi is always welcome. I don't know for sure if Bub's has licensing rules -- SCTA/USFRA/ECTA do have 'em, but there's value, too -- think of them as a form of driver training. You make a pass of up to 125, then up to 150, then 175, then up to 200, then up to 250, then up to 300, each one (assuming the powers that be are satisfied you're handling the increasing speeds with aplomb and dignity) garnering you a license of the next higher grade. Bub's "Wrung what you Brung" allows flat-out the first pass, I think -- but a practice run or two isn't all that bad an idea, even if the RWYB event only allows a limited number of passes.
That's enough points for one post. Drop a PM if you wanna compare Kawasaki lies.
