Well in some ways,,, the Aprillia's were heavy and lazy. Jetting was weird,,,but that's a Delorto carb thing. I could max 171KPH just before corner 5 at Calabogie[stock trim ] if I got a good draft. The Ninja 250 would hit 160 and the throttle cables were about 2 inches longer. A couple racer...

If all you want is the excitment of going fast in a straight line,,,maybe drag racing is more your ticket.[which there is nothing wrong with]:p That being said,,,having raced 125 GP bikes and 250's for about 30 years,,, anybody can go in a straight line. So a 125 CBR WILL humble you and then...

Yes we did,,, Aprilia 125's 4 of them.

Uhmm,, you know how many tracks have started off with good PR and never seen the light of day? Couldn"t even count the number ,,,, Mosport is making changes to get NASCAR. I will lay money on it they get a truck race next year. Fort Erie,, as much as it would be nice,,, just a web site,,I...

There is NO corner at Calabogie that is any more dangerous then the current corner 4 at Mosport!

Well, Fact is that more people from Canada probably watched Brett McCormick,Kenny Reidmann and Ben Young two weeks ago in the AMA then the entire spectator draw for the whole year in Canada CSBK. Canada would make a huge step forward if they instituted graduated licensing like Europe. You can...

The reality is we don"t need much to do something right. [i finished slamming my head in the door] If you promoted the CBR 125 as a regional level class across Canada. Then Kawasaki and HOnda supported a 250 class regionally and Nationally. You would develope a ton of riders that could stay in...

Holy crap I just gaged on my toast! Uhmmm,,Honda Canada support a feeder class? Honda Canada is only supporting the CBR class becasue it's a cheap back door to staying in the national. Not to mention they sell every CBR they bring into Canada. As does Kawasaki with the 250. That being said,, the...

You guys did a great job picking up the pieces after someone. Maybe next year you can just do some riding. That's a concept,,just you and Steve riding,,,

When the world ends,, TMP will go first! It has gail force winds in every direction ,,ALL the time!

Starsky and Hutch knew better!

If it doesn"t have George,,,it isn"t Turn 2!:mad:

Of course,, ;)

Well,,,,, a hump has no significant advantage ,apparently,until around 160 MPH.The design was to allow streamlining the air around the helmet and reducing wind drag areas behind the rider/bike. As many noted they do get a more stable helmet at speed.So it does help stabilize your head from...

I think the lack of grip or difference of grip is related to the long straight and shortness/tight corners. The front straight and 1 to 2 do not really build any heat but with the speed and wind can rob a lot of heat built up on the prior corners. A slick can give you better grip but if it does...

Well, now you're asking tough questions. The "best" tire is the one that works best for you and your bike and gets you a GREAT relationship with a tire vendor. Pirelli will not be a Dunlop and a Dunlop will not be a Michelin and a Michelin can"t be a Bridgestone. They all work in relation to...

If you are running slicks with out warmers,, you are A- wasting a ton of rubber and B- looking for a crash. At TMP or Cayuga you WIL NOT get that tire heat soaked or even close under 15 C. You could do 100 laps and the tire will not rise to operating temp. It takes 40 minutes at 20 C to fully...

Thank you! But I really have to thank Michel Mercier from FASTwho gave me the first oppourtunity to teach and then George! George,,, gave me an oppourtunity that really only comes around once. It was awsome! To actually get the chance to teach and work with so many people. Probably learned more...

Sure does! Now all the people they owe money to will get screwed and the people left will have to suck up the tab. So guess who gets to pay for that???

Well,, you can camp but usually in the pit area. There are a few spots behind the main office where you could pitch a tent. BUT,,,last year Superman[a marshal] was camping and a black bear ripped his cooler apart which was at his feet! So beware,,there is wild life other then the parties going...
