You're not the only one with a Husband/Wife podium at RACE. Only mine was the opposite order :D

That bike has raced at SOAR. Sounds mean as ****.

Got hit from behind, knocked off and hit the deck. Only lasted 2 weekends.

Depends on the rider. I used to blip but don't anymore. Depends on the bike as well. If it has a good slipper clutch you can usually just dump if its just 1 gear. Multiple gears or bikes without slipper clutch I will just drag the clutch.

or bang downshifts without a slipper and snap the crank.

I did too before it got wrecked:crybaby:

Pic of my track wife to appease those who may have been lured into this thread under false pretense. :cool:

Wrong way around. It is every 7lbs = 1hp. I know Colin Edwards said it back in the day in WSBK which is where I first heard it. As Brian said it is purely simple math. Take a 2017 Yamaha YZF-R6. It produces a claimed 116HP at 190KG(419lbs). If Rider A weighs 200lbs, it is a combined weight...

SV are great fun on track. Stock they are pretty garbage, but with some decent suspension you can thrash the crap out of them. They will teach your corner speed and late braking just like the little bikes will. A great stepping stone between 250/300 and 600SS imo

I think he's talking about the overall prep required for every race weekend, and even every race during a weekend. The lions share of your time is just making sure everything is ready and set right and working and whatever. Riding the bike is the easy part lol

Sold my street bike to buy my first race bike. Haven't had any money to speak of since. Don't miss it much. Rode a few times on borrowed bikes since but never spurred me into wanting another street bike. I still have plans to get another street bike at some point as there are some long rides I...

Spotted this one on Kijiji. Looks like a steal. 2007 Versys $1250 https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1364300598&requestSource=b Higher mileage, but for $1250 who gives a ****. Even comes with bags!

Yes I have camped at Grand Bend Motorplex. Anything else you would like to know?

Cheap yoga mat from dollar store/walmart. Enough foam to do a few seats.

Don't think there were any updates/changes from 2017 afaik

Nobody saw it though. Too distracted by their phones lol

This is why they teach shoulder checks in rider safety courses. Had this dude done one he would have seen the truck before it ran his *** over!

Polson Pier/Polson St. M1x course going on in the lot behind, hence the instructors in vests immediately on scene. RTI I believe.

Good riddance

It was for Petrucci, not Lorenzo.
