Long shot but figured I'd ask. If you have a spare running motor I need one ASAP. Located in the USA. If you are near central TX or FL we can pick it up or LTL shipping. Need a running engine by the 1st week in September, no later than September 3rd.

Edit: No longer needed. New engine is on the way.

Thanks Honda. 35,568 track miles on the clock before either a valve dropped or a rod came a knockin. Good shit. Some of those 20k+rpm money shifts earlier in the season probably finally showed their damage after about 5h more of time having it's neck wrung on track.

Has anyone else been having issues logging into and registering timers with MyLaps? Phone app is logged in and nothing works there and on the computer it keeps mentioning their database change may be have deleted passwords but resetting, verifying email, etc all give generic database errors.

So I've run into a bit of a mental wall when it comes to dealing with backmarkers that I noticed my last race. Have only been back racing for half a season so I'm riding with a ton of guys from all over that I don't know. Have no problem passing guys on my pace or close to it, but backmarkers just scare the shit out of me to the point I gave up a win to not deal with a guy on a faster bike who'd get me down the straights but completely park it at the apex after taking the wildest made up race lines.

For those of you who are fast and constantly running into backmarkers, how do you just get over the mind-fuck of "Gotta go to work tomorrow" and actually just put the hard passes down that are needed? It's racing and not a trackday so I know I should not be worrying about it, but at the back of my mind it just keeps coming up to wait it out and get past the silliness when it's clear. Don't want to be upsetting anyone, but I also don't want to keep giving up positions due to guys getting in the way.

Any words of advice?

For anyone who's been on the new pavement recently, how is it? I'm missing this weekend's races and need to figure out before if I'm doing a weekend there before my race in September, but the powers at play are forcing me to make a decision by tomorrow.

I've seen some onboards and it looks like the track is already torn up in some turns with patches going down after the repavement. Cars pushing the asphalt apart at apex? Am I just seeing things or is it really getting bumpier and cracking?

Just picked up another one of these for dirt cheap due to the ugly FC Barcelona graphics scheme and I intend on either painting it or wrapping it. Does anyone know of any already made wraps that fit? I've found some templates online, but nothing already ready to put on, though I've not deeply looked at places.

I have a short layover coming up and am wanting to keep my helmet with me as a carry-on rather than in my checked bag, just in case there's issues. Technically it is over dimensions simply because of the 9" dimension Delta states. Does anyone have any experience on if this would be an issue? I doubt it would as I've seen much larger bags taken as a carry-on. It does easily fit under the seat and an overheas bin if needed. It'll be transported in a backpack. It's just a holiday weekend coming up so don't want to run into any surprises around a full capacity plane. Thank you in advance.

Shooting myself in the foot here and wont be getting the QS installed until at the track. I understand cut-off times are relative to the bike and rider's feel, but has anyone got some advice on a decent starting point for miliseconds? 2008 CBR600RR, shifting is only going to be with WOT well above 9K RPM.
