From Connecticut to the Boise area. Going to be in stages
Wife in July, Youngest son and dog in August

Wife rides a Vulcan 500.
I was mainly standards and HD's til I got a 650R in 2006
2007 ZX6R is current ride

Have since added full twobros exhaust, pc and wheel stripes.
Like to do the occasional trackdays, SO far I have ridden
New Jersey
New Hampshire
Summit Point
Poconos

Very flat track

Of course we had other issues when I was there
We had a passing rain shower..

Group that ran the trackday are/were/ever shall be tools
Many many reason but even before the rain many folks where going down and the folks had a big long read the riot act about passing corner speed etc. Next lap out a control rider caused this to come visit by stuffing a paying customer into a corner..

Back Of The Pack · 06-13-2010, 03:55 PM

welcome, nice bike I like the death before dishonor decals.

LckyTylr · 06-13-2010, 06:07 PM

You are going to fit in very very nicely once you get here. Lot's o' track day/racers on site, fun community to street ride with, now you just need a dirt bike so you can fully take advantage of what Idaho has to offer. You are going to LOVE it here. I'm from Upstate NY, and I wouldn't move back, not even for my whole family that begs me to come home. I AM HOME!!!! Welcome.

tc305 · 06-13-2010, 06:11 PM

soooooo? if sombody passes you do we get to watch you kill yourself? welcome to the area we have mmp for track days some pretty good canyon/twisties sure some one will be more than happy to show you around

cms1172 · 06-13-2010, 06:46 PM

Moved from Salt lake area about 8 years ago. Family is still trying to get me to move back. We put down roots and only visit. Good thing they built MMP after we moved up or I might still be there.

God I hope not,

I am not the fastest nor even trying to be, just in it for fun. As an old man my reflexes are not what they used to be so I don't try and keep up with the real young guns

tc305 · 06-13-2010, 07:47 PM

(photo is actually from The Two Wheel in @ the gap)
Actually i am heading up tonight to NHIS to hang out and do some cornerworking the next two days. Sold out so I can't actually ride but I need to get outta dodge and clear my head)

AndrewM87 · 06-14-2010, 03:52 PM

Welcome welcome!

Just rode the Lowman loop clockwise and it was nice and clean! You need to hit it up when it's clean to see what we have to offer! Of course there are other routes...

steven32 · 06-14-2010, 04:04 PM

Just Jeff · 07-21-2010, 09:35 PM

Well in town for the first time, got a house rented in Nampa and Flying back east on Saturday to load up the old house. Cruised around in the car a bit..... and end result is another coin on the "its time to ditch the SS and get an ST" side of the scales. Might sell the ZX6R and look around for a Sprint over the winter. If anyone has a suggestion on places to see or places to ride let me know since I plan on taking the Mustang out again tomorrow to explore some more..

from the trip out here in California near Mt Whitney

On a side note and its asking alot since I have not met anyone.. I am looking for 2 padded bar type stools or a small kitchen table and chairs to buy for dirt cheap or borrow for a month til I get teh real furnature out here.. and a cheap / free folding chair or resin type I can throw on the porch.
Wife is staying and has nothing but a bed til I get back out here

Cheeto · 07-22-2010, 07:13 AM

Welcome sir!

scharf2u · 07-22-2010, 08:08 AM

drive up to stanley for the day you will love it.

mxroostin · 07-22-2010, 08:38 AM

Welcome...

Deals Gap, now that sounds fun...One of the bucket list items...However, just came back from doing the Lolo Pass and they had a Sign 99 miles of curving road...And the road was fresh asphalt, no chip seal...Cant wait to do it again...
