Hey everyone.
I joined up a few years ago but have only ridden with PRE twice. First was the weekend of the first Air Fence fund at VIR south, I crashed LOL.
Next was a Road Atlanta event (Soooooo much fun.)
Figured I would re-introduce myself.
Names Travis, nickname is Banky (pronounced Bank-E)
I currently am a Intermediate rider with N2 and STT.
Been to VIR south, Road Atlanta, Roebling Roads Raceway, NCBike, Grattan Raceway.
Got a racing cert from Wera a few years back but only raced twice.
I recently contacted PRE because I wanted to know how to become a Control Rider/Coach.
So before anyone gets negative, they talked to me about it, I know it will be a long time until I would even be considered. Gotta start somewhere right.
I purchased a 2013 R1 brand new and started modding it and eventually it became a Track only bike.
Swaped 2013 frame for a 2009 Welded Braced Frame (WSBK clone)

I am having a motor built (TD motor not a race motor) by KWS is South Carolina, should go from around 160hp to 185hp.
I just wanted to throw all this on here to show that I LOVE my bike. No it is not the fastest bike, but I enjoy riding it and I gel with it, have not crashed or had any scary moments on it yet.
I am an enthusiast and putting all the blood sweat and tears into my bike is worth more than being a few seconds faster with a newer machine.
Hope to start riding more with you guys and meeting some of you.
