Q3+ are you're best bet. I know people who ran them in decent wet weather and on a drying surface with no problems.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks. So if no cover then that means I'll need something to seek shelter under in case it rains, which is very likely. Any recommendations?

Appreciate the feedback! Out of curiosity, what tires were you running?

What's the setup of the place like? I'm only bringing a paddock chair.

Did you borrow a bike or rent one from FAST? It would suck if they let us out in crazy wet conditions, we're 'beginners' after all.

Anyone going? Any feedback on the facilities?

Yup I'm going too. But they better not send people out there to crash just because they don't want to reschedule.

That doesn't exactly inspire confidence. I'm going unless they cancel. So who else actually is booked and going other than OP?

Actually that's the only kind of bike that isn't welcome, it says so on the website. :p

Indeed, what I want to know is how they will make it practical. To have a system like that in a mass produced bike will be a challenge, cost-wise and technically as well; If anyone can do it, Yamaha can.

The most susceptible body parts to crushing damage are your fingers and toes. I would not skimp or be lazy about foot protection. If you can't find anything local (new/used) import from abroad. If you lose a toe because you thought work boots are good enough you will regret it for the rest of...

Bring your Glock.

As Mad Mike stated, the bigger motor has a more substantial gyroscopic effect. Also if you're talking about a 09+ R1 which uses a crossplane crankshaft, then the engine is actually heavier than its inline predecessor used in earlier models. Add bigger wheels/tires and finally setup. You gotta...

Sumimasen, I have a Japanese Arai, I'll try to get pictures of the stickers. OP can always ask the seller for pictures of the stickers before he pulls the trigger for peace of mind. Not sure if Aliexpress have a policy on returns like Amazon does.

Groms are the shizzle, and you can fit a 1199 Panigale engine in one if you really try, what's not to like? Either way I only have a dedicated track bike but I'm still going bikeless. Should be a blast.

They sponsor Johan Zarco, they have more of a presence in the European market but I've seen their gloves around. Can't recall where they're made either.

To clarify something, the DOT standard is the lowest safety standard out there. ECE22.05 and JIS (Japanese certification) are higher safety standards. Then we have the next tier of safety standards which are SHARP and SNELL. If you are riding on the street with this helmet OP, one thing I would...

Congrats on the recovery, that's not easy and requires a lot of willpower. Do you ride track or street?

There are still Shannonville trackdays listed on almost every trackday organizer's website. Every single trackday should be honoured.

To who?
