It's not the bike that makes the rider fast, it's the rider that makes the bike fast!
Welcome to Cat chat with your host El-Gato.
Special guests Fluffy and mister peeps.
This weeks topic, setting up for the next big race.
First grab the nearest parts catalog, and a piece of paper and pencil.
Next give wife list for new top end, tires, rims, skid plates, hangaurds, suspension rebuild, undented exhuast system, straight bars, new plastic, graphics, spokes (tallon of course), hubs (the cool gold ones), mud flap, new gear, hyd. clutch, brake pads, race fuel, engine ice, steering stabilizer, top triple clamp, bottom triple clamp, radiator guards, flywheel weight, cool new hotstart lever, adjust on the fly clutch lever, quick dump, desert tank with quick dump attachment, etc....
Spend the next couple nights at your closest friends house.
Settle for less than half of list (doing good).
Order the rest on private credit card she don't know about.
Send in your enty, make hotel reservations, gas up truck, bike,quad, pit bike.
Drive like hell cause she made you late.
Check into Rat motel. (Moneys a little tight by now)
Register, Tech, prerun if possible.
Try to figure out pit strategy. Assign uncle no hair, and aunt lots of beard to the farthest away pit (Uncle Bucks Pass if possible). Give them the leaky quick dump.
Then start stressing about the race.
The easy parts are done!!
OOHH boy those whoops are big, the track not marked!!!!
No rain for months, need extra filter skins.
Better load more than normal tear offs.
HOLY S%^T my bikes leaking something. Never mind it's pit boy pissing on the front wheel agian.
Race morning. We're sressing. Wifes pissed because I woke her up at 3am and the race isn't tell 10am.
Set up pit. Easy-up isn't so easy when you're pissed off.
Gotta check all the nuts and bolts, check the chain for the 14th time, check the tire pressure for the 20th time.
Lay out the spare parts, tires, tubes, spark plugs, jets, tools, air tank, gas cans, instructions for sleepy eyed pit crew.
Try and eat something (yeah right), Blow it out the other end (2-3 times in an hour).
Yell at freindly person who's just trying to help.
Piss wife off somemore. She looks bored. I wonder why, this is so much fun.
Riders meeting, nerves are at an all time high. Listen to Jay say a whole lot of nothing.
LINING UP!!! Don't look back, there is a thousand people lined up behind you. Really, don't wory about crashing in the first turn. They'll go around you in the dust, I hope.
Heart is racing, blood pressure is sky high.
5 seconds, then green flag.
OOOOOHHHHH, Hear we go.
Boy I'm hungry, why didn't I eat before the race started, I have to go to the bathroom too. Why didn't I do that before the start???
Third lap already, Time for fuel, goggles, drink of water.
Why the h#$% are you going so slow, where's my goggles, where's the water you stupid ediots. You should know how to pit by now!!!!!
Off again, Maybe I was to hard on them. They were trying hard. Was those tears I seen in my wifes eyes.
Is that, yes it is - THE CHECKERS.
I LOVE THIS SPORT, IT'S SO MUCH FUN!!!!!
I love my wife. Sometimes I don't know how she does it, but she's there at every checker with a big smile and a hug.

Sounds about right and reminds why my wife stays home. The only race she ever went to was the one I got jacked in, so we agreed she couldn't go anymore.
