Heh...clarified the current state of my bike in the PM. I have the whole rear end disassembled as far as I can get right now...problem is physically getting to the wheel bearing atm.
Lengthy PM replied.
I'm definitely doing a track day this year. Just sent my leathers off for some custom work and I'm busying making some upgrades to my bike...like a new rear wheel bearing
....once all that's done, I'm going to start looking at some time at either Blackhawk or Heartland. At the very least, there's the Iowa Speedway in September.
