Roller her out of the trailer this morning, cleaned up the mud/rash/dirt from my 'whoops' a few weeks back, straightened everything out, and put my fresh set of graphics on her.

The number plates pictured here are yellow w/ blue numbers, per the PPIHC regulations. I've got Lisa at 212decals.com making me some CMRA-legal decals that'll have white backgrounds, black numbers, and the CMRA logo...I'll put these on the extra set of number plates from Ted at AF1 Racing, so when I do CMRA-related events I'll be able to swap the plates out easily, and then slap the PPIHC plates back on when I head to Colorado. w00t!



Thanks to Ted and AF1 Racing, Brandon Spradling at P1 Racing, John Hutchinson at South Central Race Center/Bridgestone Tires, and all the other awesome people who are making all of this possible for me this year.
 
I may have already told you this on FB, but I want 1080p video of this from the first person POV. I want to live vicariously though you.
 
Seriously, don't fall off the cliff.

Are you go-proing yourself to tape it?
 
Great looking bike! What is it? Slicks - I'm confused here. Old School brain cells - Pikes Peak used to be a hill climb with knobbies.

You running some kind of road coarse?
 
they have paved most (maybe all by now) of the route

** yep its all paved now

As of September 2011, Pike's Peak is fully paved, thanks to a lawsuit from some hippies a few years back.

The bike is a 2007 Aprilia SXV450

+1 I was thinking the same thing the whole time.

Totally unaware they paved the peak.
 
Drove the road last week. Make sure you're well hydrated before you do it, and acclimated to the altitude. I felt nearly drunk by the summit. Up was fun as hell. Down was awful.
