My current pre-season calendar thinking has me at Calabogie on 26th as well. Current plan is that is my Monday I got in the deal for doing their school. It will be good to have a goal I can relate to, trying to keep up with GSXR Girl in at least a few places Jeff

I thought about going to Metallica one last time (would be 13th time seeing them I think) but I obviously have not been to concerts in a while .... they are expensive now! LOL (or I am just getting old ... little of both probably). First concert I ever went to was Metallica ... 1986 I think...

Hello, I started last year on Q3's on my ZX-6R. I ended the year with GPA's and warmers. I am still in the green group and I'll admit there are some people who have asked me why use warmers 'in the green group' but I plan on keeping with GPAs. I thought it would be a PITA to be dealing with...

One thing to think about in public vs home gym is your mental 'makeup'. From 2008-2016 I was a competitive powerlifter and lifted with a bunch of guys 3 times a week most weeks. I have shifted to trying to lift at home (as the garage gym we were training closed when the guy moved). I am...

Thanks for the input! Gives me some ideas to start with Thanks, Jeff

Hello, I currently have a set of Alpinestars that are at least 8 years old (like a old simple version of the A* SMX) and about ready to fall apart. They have started to wear more quickly with last years track riding as I don't think they like the angle of my angle with the rearsets on the...

My street bike (poor old Katana 750) I have a Wilburs full adjustable. It works and can't complain about it. But no one specifically services them locally by brand (ie if parts needed etc) and just to get a different spring (because I have their preload adjuster) I found I had to order spring...

I am hoping to visit some family in 2018 'over the pond'. I would like to try to fit the TT in but it might have to be the Ulster GP or such since that's where my family is in N. Ireland and my wife and kids would probably have a better time doing other things vs hanging around at a road course...

I too signed up for the GD special 3 day package. And I am in for 4 days with Pro6. What is the regular price of Shannonville during the year? Though I think I have pre-signed up for enough at the moment :) Jeff

I signed up for the Pro 6 TRAC School after talking to them at the booth. The only hesitation I had was May 20-21 was the 2 days of the course and weather can be interesting still in May, see the first round of RACE last year. They implied at the show that the free day (any of their...

The reply from dricked matches my experience. I started heading to races to watch when Don Munroe (97ish?) was winning. Its not as far back as the OP is talking but I can't say I have seen a significant change in the racers willing to talk between then and now. If you have something to talk...

I have a Ohlins shock on my 2000 ZX-6R track bike. Last year at a Racer5 track day they setup the suspension beyond my 'set best I could at home with help from 12 year old son' setup. They commented I should go up a spring size front and rear. Well the bike handled OK rest of season and I...

Welcome, In Stouffville here, returned to track this year after 12 or so years away. Only ride on road occasionally. Sounds like we took FAST similar times. Next track season maybe keep in mind to share some driving if heading to the same trackday. Jeff

I hope to make it to Calabogie next year as well and I'm not a tent type either. Back when I did corner working for weekends I would sleep on an air mattress in the back of my van. Though my body was younger and I didn't have a van full of trackday related stuff then. 3 hours to GB was...

Video's: - some laps from session 3 including at least 1 lap behind Sebi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXyvlHLJc-M - some laps from session 4 including my fastest lap of day (1:23.97) with some Sebi & Michelle in it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwf09lWESkQ - and because I had the...

Ahh, that's even farther from my mind, I don't care what other people think of my progress .... I just care that you don't think I'm an a-hole (especially on the track) and your thoughts on things you see to help me progress :) The process/progression I suspect is very much similar to my...

Ya, don't take my comments as wanting to rush the process, I'm good with the process as it's going. I just was reading the thread while eating lunch and reviewing my video at same time and was giggling to myself as I read the 200+'s. Don't worry, I'm not trying to jump green to red or just...

All of your speedometer talk has confirmed one thing ... I am a wimp on the straight! As Dave said on Tuesday 'well just go faster!'. I think fastest I saw from GPS was 175kph LOL I suck getting on the straight then I wimp out and get off the gas way too early for carousel (earlier than I...

Like the others I thoroughly enjoyed coming to the Two Wheeled Tuesdays, thanks Paul and Grand Bend Motorplex for the well run track days. I came to all 4 and would sign up for another season of them, I hope something like this exists again next season. Jeff

K, that was my thinking as well, but handy to get 2nd opinion. Ya, I had my dial indicator out there but it was getting late when I noticed so decided to pack it in for the night. Plan on checking runout of the rim, rear was OK when I checked it. Quite honestly I think the grinder mark is...
