    Racer XX 4

    Ok folks it is almost here again this winter. Plan ahead and keep the first weekend in March 2012 available for a fantastic BlackBird ride event again this year.
    This is the 4th annual RacerXX event and each year it gets better and better.
    Many attend from as far away as Wisconson, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. As well as New York, New Jersey, North Carolina and Georgia. If you have the desire to attend, trailer space can be made for you to attend from most anywhere in the country.

    This is a fun, laid back day at the Race Track where you come away a far better and safer street rider and wearing a big grin the whole weekend.

    Check out the dedicated website and mark your calendars now.
    Bring the wife and kids for an awesome weekend getaway.

    Home - Racer XX Track Day

    Hope to see many of you there this year !

    Re: Racer XX 4

    Great idea but it's just too far away from the Pacific North West. I wonder if there are enough Birdies in BC, Alberta, Wash, Oregon, and California to do this on a local track. There is a new one near Tacoma, Wash just being finished and opening in the Spring.MC Action at the Ridge - YouTube

    Re: Racer XX 4

    Hey, this sounds like a hoot. Also, in the 6 years I raced and was a track day instructor (all in the South) I've never managed to make it to Jennings. I've even raced with Borg on many occasions over the years. I do believe I'll endeavor to make it down there for this event. It's not a given as I starteda new job just this week, but I'd give it a definite 'maybe.'

    Do people ride the XX's or are these all folks with track bikes? I'm no longer in possession of a track weapon...

    Its a ride your own bike event buddy.
    My hands are tied,
    The billions shift from side to side,
    And the wars go on with brainwashed pride,
    For the love of God and our human rights....

    Er...I'm pretty sure all track days are 'ride your own bike' events. That's not to do with what I asked. I asked if the typical attendee is riding a CBR1100XX, or if the typical attendee is a forum person, but also has a dedicated track bike that they're riding. I'm asking because it wouldn't be all that fun to go to a XX track day event and be the only XX there.

    Re: Racer XX 4

    Typical attendee rides a CBR1100xx, Most will be street bikes ranging from standardish to improved suspension but from the pics i have seen of recent years then there are the few that have a more race oriented machine.. The event is definately targeted toward the CBR1100XX pilot

    Does that sound about right John

    Sounds like a ball. Hopefully I'll be able to make it.

    Re: Racer XX 4

    Last year there were 8 actual BlackBirds ON the track out of a total of 24 Bikes. It is an exclusive event for CBR1100XX owners, riders, previous owners, previous riders and Forum members and their friends only.

    There is a couple of people trailering in from the Nashville area as well. Hope to see you there.

    The smile you get while attending generally lasts for 30-90 days post event!

    Re: Racer XX 4

    If you guys from the Nashville area see this pipe up...maybe we can carpool. Thanks!

    I don't have a track bike any more, so I'd be on the XX. Apart from ground clearance and as-yet-untested track pace linked braking performance, I'm sure it would acquit itself quite nicely.

    I will let Angee and Dutch know you are interested in making the trip along with them. They are both in the Nashville area. They are both very active on the CBR1100XX.org forum who is hosting the event.

    Well I was there on my XX. Although my day ended early due to a brake failure. I had a blast ripping the XX around. I am a big boy also. Yet I did not experiance any clearance issues. Although I am not as fast as you.(a white plate is fast) Even ran on PR2's without a problem.

    Re: Racer XX 4

    Hey, fast is all relative. You're probably a smokin fast rider compared to some folks, and I am definitely molasses-in-winter slow to some folks.

    I'm looking forward to it...hopefully I can pull it off.

    How true that statement is. Even on a bird. It makes for a fun day. Nothing like seeing a bunch of sport touring tearing up a racetrack.

    Re: Racer XX 4

    Dave,

    I posted up on the CBR1100XX.org forum to Angee and Dutch who will be coming down from the Nashville area.
    You might wanna log in and post up on the official RacerXX thread. We have 14 confirmed riders so far and need 20 total.
