Another Red-Bud virgin!

So, 11.00AM Tuesday morning we'll be on a plane heading over the pond for the holiday of life time!!
We're flying over to spend the week with the DeHoop family. Todds sorted some bikes and we're riding the amature practise day Thursday and maybe a few motos on the Friday aswell. Then the National on Saturday! We'll be camping over Thursday night. So, if anyone sees a slightly podgy, beardy bloke in his mid 30's with a British accent... that'll be me, tap me on the shoulder and say hi!! Never been over to the US before, can't wait!!

One last thing... Do you use different torque settings for sprocket bolts than we do? And should I be checking them between every session/moto? Or just once a day in the morning?.. Not sure of of the correct "US sprocket bolt torque protocal" and how it a differs from the UK protocal...

I can't speak for the torque specs, maybe peely will come along and help you out with that, but I will say adult beverages are a must and should be high on the list of priorities, especially at Red Bud.

Todd will keep you up to spec on any bike work. He knows bikes and his dad used to race and own a bike shop..
Great family!

Well we torque our bolts the opposite way over here... not sure why something to do with the earths curvature vs rotational forces we like to call the "coriolis effect".... wait that might be when we flush our toilets... I don't know I'm American and not so smart in sciences or grammar as illustrated in my multiple poorly constructed run on sentences connect by a bunch of dot things! Whistling Tongue Silly

This is good news, StevieDbro! Enjoy yourself - though I don't see any other possibility at Red Buuuddddddd!

Sprocket bolts. A calibrated torque wrench is a must. Dont be fooled by the Chinese knock offs at Harbor Freight. Go for the best at Tractor Supply Company!

What's that place on Red Bud Trail between Buchanan and the track where alot of people stop on the side of the road to swim in the river?

Seemed like we hit that spot many years and there was always people there. Was pretty fun after a looong hot weekend at Red Bud.

I'm assuming if there are any locals in here there is probably a spot name for it??

St Joseph river. supposedly one of the dirtiest rivers in Michigan. We call it the dead cat river for my friend was washing in the river and next to a downed tree and when he was washing his hair the tree moved and within arms reach there was a dead hairless cat floating next to him. good times red Buuuuuuuud!
