Ryan and I want thank everyone that helped us have a successful weekend at Unadilla. We really put this thing together in 2 weeks and I couldn't be happier with what we did. People to thank

1. Blue Buffalo (Dave)
2, Slater Skins (John) entry fees, license, and some gas
3. 3D Racing (Bill and Tommy) Awesome pits, Motorhome, pressure washer, and dinner
4. Todd and Tracy Brown hotel and food (Huge help)
5. Carl and Buddy for letting us borrow their bike to race because we didn't have a 450
6. VPE (Fred) sending a head for our motor and tuning it at the track
7. Cliff Fegert for letting us use his trailer
8. Doc for letting us borrow his Yoshi pipe
9. ICW (Brett) Letting us borrow some radiators and stands for the race
10. Fly (Max) hooking Ryan up with some nice gear, Always their for Ryan we really appreciate it.
11. Scott (John) Goggles always have clear vision Thanks
12. Bell Helmets and DVS (Pat and Dano) Helmets and clothing thanks again
13. Triangle Cycles (Rusty and O'neil) Always there to help us
14. Liquid Performance (Connell)
15. SOB (Ryan)
16. Hog Heaven (Richard)
17. Moto 95 (Steve)
18. Pro Action Suspension (Hey that is me)
19. Samantha (girlfriend) tough girl she has travelled all over the country with us and knows only to pee when the gas gauge is on empty.

It takes a village and we are very thankful. We through a borrowed bike together in the garage in 2 weeks time and went and raced with the big boys. I am proud of Ryan's effort considering he had only ridden 5 times after his broken back. 28 and 21 for 24th overall, not too bad. We are looking forward to SX 2015.

Thanks,
Jeff Zimmer

Congrats guys! I didn't like the look of the slater skins, but if it's the price to pay to go racing, I'd do it in a heart beat.

My kitten loves that stuff, although she also really enjoys moths too. I'll be buying more of it for sure.

I'm going to buy a bag of this stuff, hopefully my dog likes it and I'll continue to use it. Good job to you guys, hopefully Blue Buffalo sees the return on their investment and continues to support moto.

pics of women always get creepy on here. That's the exact reason I have never posted a photo of my wife on here when threads go that route.

Great to see the Slater Shield allows Ryan to work the bike without any aerodynamic limitations.

Any woman that lives with a moto man has to be a little crazy,or ,the relationship won't last, I know.

So,wanted to make sure all know the crazy comment was a compliment.

The stress a gf or wife or mom endures being a moto woman is extreme.

The bike doesn't look so bad while in motion. Waaaaaaay better than the still shots. Good showing RZ. And I'll be buyin' a fat bag of Blue Buffalo for the mutt.

I think he already crossed that line.

I always liked the concept, I really think I need to find some pictures of some guys that ran them in the 90's.......I wish they would catch on. So much more sponsor coverage.

Atta boy Tyler!

Tyler King is a former pro racer living in SoCAl who hooked up with John Slater about a year ago. Tyler's a good kid!

I wonder if Slater skins and Blue Buffalo realize a name on the shroud or the entire bike that will overheat and make the rider uncomfortable doesn't bring in sponsorship dollars in this sport. At least the type of money to run a race team professional or to be able to compete against the big teams lke Geico, Star, or Pro-Circuit.. If that was the point, these slater skins would've been on bikes back in the 90s when Mitch Payton tried the idea.. Shroud Exposure will do nothing to bring in big money to be able to compete at that level.. Great to see them help a privateer out but to bring in big dollars and build a race team. NOT Gonna Happen... Just a dream for Mr. Slater... This aint Nascar.....Just my opinion...

I hope team Zimmer gets some support for 2015 SX. How many guys can work a full time job and ride as little as he does and then throw a bike together (with help from good people) and qualify for a national. Good luck to every one involved.

I wonder if you realize Ryan Zimmer's borrowed scooter (that people we bagging on last week for the way it looked) just went through two 30 minutes plus two laps WITHOUT overheating. Ryan also didn't suffer any adverse aero effects from the Slater Shield like a few Vitards predicted.

Shroud Exposure will do nothing to bring in big money to be able to compete at that level.

Just to clarify this is also an opinion correct? It certainly isn't a statement of fact from where John Slater sits. You are welcome to your opinion and that is fine with me you that don't dig the Skins or the Shield but please don't fabricate untruths about overheating.
