Track Days at VIR

[Jerry C]

I totaled my 2007 XB9City and bought it back from the ins. co. I'm having it re-built into a track bike. I've joined NESBA and intend to make some track days this year at Virginia International Raceway. Are there any other track day Buellers out there?

I just got my bike last year, but I do plan on taking it to a track day eventually.

I've tracked my M3 twice in Colorado and hopefully I'll get to track it at VIR this year.

Where are you located?

I ran my XB12R at VIR a few years ago. South course, it was a blast! I was the slowest bike out there on the long straight........it's a long drive from Vermont! Summit Point main is fun too (pavement is rough though!).

I'm in Richmond VA. VIR has a smooth track surface. I've never been on the track at Summit Point, but I think that long strait would be fun!I bought an old GS750 to build a vintage race bike, but since I now have my XB on its way to becoming a track bike the Suzuki may be up for sale.

It was fun, you will learn alot, keep it fun!

Havnt really gotten around to one of those yet. Buellxb.com broke my forum cherry. Although I was a Bimmer car guy before a Buell guy.

Show me the way sirius815.

Jerry how much did you pay to get your bike back from he ins. co? I've been wanting to find a totaled 1125 for a track bike.

 

[Jerry C]

Builtdesign, They gave 4K for the book value of the bike. I gave them 1K back for my XB,so now I have a little money for the conversion!!!

 

[Builtdesign]

Nice, good deal.

 

[Jerry C]

I'm going to Richmond Super Bike today for a bike fitting, to have my XB set-up for me and the track.
