I went to the BoD meeting last night and took some notes. These notes are mine and not official AFM meeting minutes. If you have questions about them, please contact an AFM BoD member. If you have anything you'd like to clarify or correct, feel free to reply to this post and I'll do my best...

Got nothing to do? Tired of watching MotoGP re-runs? Feeling artsy? Not afraid to use a sharp knife? Don't mind sniffing a little glue? Have a few hundred sheets of A4 paper laying around? Got access to a color printer and lots of toner/ink? Then here ya go...

So I just pulled the steering stem out of my Ducati 1098 and inspected everything. Noticed the lower dust seal seems a bit damaged... maybe when it was installed? Pics here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xsaxa8h6b8p2e4g/WMCp49uhUq Is this something I should care/worry about on a race bike?

I've got a 1098 swing arm with the eccentric I need to take off. Would love to borrow the gigantic impact socket for the axle nut & 12 point socket for the hub. I've got a battery powered impact and since the swing arm is already off the bike I can loosen the nuts in about 5min while you wait...

Really wanted to do race reports after the end of each round... could'a, should'a, but didn't. It's a long story, so here's 4,000 words for the entire year: http://synfin.net/sock_stream/crackdays-racing/afm-2013-review-for-227

I'm researching rear thumb brakes... so far I've only been able to find GP Tech here in the States and SES via eBay in the UK. I've emailed GP Tech to see if it can be made to work without the OEM rear master, but in the meantime I'm looking around to see if anyone had any suggestions? Other...

Found a crack in the main motor mount of my motor. Need someone who can fix it. I've already pulled the motor from the frame. Going to need it ASAP so I can race next weekend. Crack is a little over 1" long and goes completely through. Does anyone know anyone they'd trust to weld this...

So took apart my clutch to try to figure out why my nearly new Barnett clutch (installed by someone else) is slipping under hard acceleration. I pulled all the plates and measured them- almost all the frictions are just under spec (about 2.90mm). However, the two frictions at either end of the...

Some a**hole stole both my 10 foot folding ramps out of my truck bed in San Jose. Probably last night, but could of been in the last few days. :mad They're both black Rage Powersports ATV ramps and both have been sprayed with Line-X bed liner to provide additional grip and have a red strap...

Good news for the fans, racers and the AMA: http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/ama-pro-road-racing-signs-tv-deal-cbs-sports/ Hopefully it will be extended beyond the 2014 season, but at least this is a good start.

Edit: found one.

Reading the shop manual (page 4-17) it says if it doesn't see the STVA/STPS (secondary throttle actuator & position sensor) then the "fail-safe mode" is the ECM stops controlling the secondary throttle plates and turns on the FI error light. Is that all it does? Ie: if I disconnect the...

In case anyone didn't get the email from Paddy with my statement: My name is Aaron Turner, AFM #227, and I am running for At-Large Director. 2013 will be my fifth year racing with the AFM and like many of you, my life changed when the green flag came out for my first race. The AFM as an...

Bought a used '02 F350 w/ V10 last year. Coming up on 90K mile service. Anyone recommend a shop in the San Jose/Campbell area that you trust and does good work at a reasonable price?

Don't care about the tach, idiot lights or being pretty, just need a working LCD for EFI codes. Thanks!

Not that anyone in the AFM would ever do this: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e43_1348280333

So I learned something today... Motorcycle racing is so popular in the UK that MotorsTV (about equivalent to our Speed here in the states from what I can gather) broadcasts freaking motorcycle/sidecar club racing on TV with multiple camera angles, professional announcers, pre/post race...

Me: First lap, taking a defensive line exiting T3 going into T4. You: Being overly optimistic and giving my ass a love tap; thereby punting us both off track and onto the grass. Thanks for the friendly wave on the front straight after you passed me a few laps later in T14... letting me know...

For those of you not following Ben on Twitter, he's announced he's leaving the factory squad at the end of the year: http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2012/Jul/120724spiesnoy.htm Interesting timing with Laguna Seca this weekend with Yamaha being such a huge sponsor of the event. Reading between...
