Not really a whip... but....

Finally got my Class 6 today... lolol

Perfect test, no mistakes! All thanks to PRS (Pacific Riding School)

Literally after more than a decade of harassments from my friends haha...

Doing this the right way guys... see? getting into motorcycling after getting married and having 2 kids... (lol, good news is.. mrs dark is in full support) She was the one who actually pushed me to go thru PRS and get the license.

My friends changed tactics last year and started to bug my wife instead of me and I think she's had enough...

Congrats welcome to the club!

congrats dark - PRS is a great school. I went through it in 2008 w Dat and Kramer. I still think about the awareness and vision training when I drive (and ride) today.

Thread content: little fried egg friday. stopped in at the old homestead to visit my gran this morning. Still living on her own at 94 in the house they bought in 1960

Anybody know what the status of cones days are (BMWCCBC)? I've been out of the loop for a good 5 years now. Went on Karelo and they have no events. Just covid or are they done?

Autocross? They lost their venue and have been unable to find an alternative location thus far...

Oh they shut down the pad at the airport? I heard chatter about it but nothing concrete

Good for you! Life is better on two wheels...I haven’t driven my truck in almost 3 weeks now that riding season has arrived :awwyeah:

We done.FeelsBadMan

:okay:

It floors me that they can't find a venue anywhere in the entire lower mainland/fraser valley

From what I heard, they found one, and it only took one event for someone to decide they no longer needed a fence at the venue.

There are places around here where you can flip the security guard $20 bucks and he'll even bring you cones. =)

Everything motorsports-related is now on MotorSportReg:

It really sux that there are no venues available for autox anywhere within easy reach of the Lower Mainland, and believe me -- the club representatives have been trying left right and center to find places.

Mission Raceway is looking to get an estimate on paving a large area at their venue, and I sincerely hope that whatever it turns out to be, it would enable Mission to host some autox there:

But for the time being, it is just track days and time attack. And even with those, everybody is trying to stay low key and not attract any unwanted attention at all...

I want to know the reason why Boundary Bay is a non-starter it’s like veiled in secrecy for some reason and I don’t get why.

In fact it’s always been a piss-off what a bunch of drama queens people who run auto cross clubs have historically been over the years... no transparency at all

I'm assuming down there you guys are used to bigger areas? In Kelowna they use part of the college parking lot and in Vernon they use the arena parking lot and they're both about 450ft x 250ft. Surely there's loads of those down there.

I've seen some small courses laid out at Lansdowne Mall, but I think liability is a massive concern in the lower mainland... anywhere with density the first thought is always "Will I get sued?"

best auto-x day i ever did was at the old annual PCA whistler weekend

took over lot 6 at blackcomb base and ran a super tight really fun (bumpy as hell) mini track.

you don't need a lot of room to have a good time. you do need insurance though - i'll bet that's the toughest part these days

Did you run the event out off united boulevard? practically a rallycross course it was so messy with a couple big jumps. Porsche guys are crazy, but this was where they found the first time the pad closed

i didn't.

I did almost own Greg's car above though. It's a '77 911s. He was on the fence about selling and i was impatiently waiting for him to decide. Ultimately it stayed in his family. :okay: That car won the concours in 2015, then won the auto-x the next day. Love that attitude, they were built to be driven hard.

Great rolling shot this weekend by Regolith Photography in HK.

any Honda in Hong Kong is expensive, even a Freed is more expensive than similar model
