    Race Gas

    LoL how do you fit so much misinformation into such a small space?

    Wrong gas !!!! :( -_-

    If you had no choice and were that concerned just dont take the bike wide open throttle to red line. I've seen someone run 87 in a D675 and it not blow up, but unfortunately there is no way to know for certain how close you are to detonation. Im fairly confident in saying most production bikes...

    Race license? SOAR, RACE?

    In case you run out of food and need to buy something from the concession? Thats about what 100 bucks would cover lol, i usually bring 300 on top of a full set of spares, rearsets, bars and levers. I go with the philosophy that once i get to the track i will spend whatever i have to, and just...

    Race license? SOAR, RACE?

    Realistically spending 6000 dollars a year on a motorsport related hobby is probably one of the cheapest forms of motorsports that exists. You should go ask how much the drag car guys spend and come back with whether you think thats still expensive. Tire's are the biggest expense above what a...

    TMP lapping day Oct. 6-8

    This thread is ridiculous. If someone really wants by they'll be showing you a wheel all over the place. It's more when the guy on the litre bike knows you're right behind him, you've shown him a wheel lots of times, and he still pins it down the straight. Even worse i've had numerous times when...

    Should I fear the Tar Snakes?

    your post lacked the acknowledgement that indeed that was what the problem was. Feel appropriately flamed. Now go buy new tires before you fall down and go damn it would have been cheaper in the long run if i had bought new tires right away.

    TMP lapping day Oct. 6-8

    Why do you continue to give advice on things you know absolutely nothing about? Stop it. You ask a control rider to pass you in a controlled way in yellow group. In red group people will pass you inside/outside/after tip in/under braking and with their knee on the ground close enough that you...

    Race Gas

    Right, thaaaats whats wrong with this site. Heaven forbid people mention that if it was for you it would be a complete waste of money, just in case you were thinking about doing it.

    Any pictures from the rookie race?

    From soar round 5 that is. No idea if anyone was out there that late in the day, but had a really good battle for 3rd/4th and would love to see any pictures, was my best riding to date. Cheers.

    Dems Da Brakes?

    Are repair kits available for the accossato? If you rip the plunger out of the brembo a repair kit is around 50 bucks. Also the difference between the 18mm and 20mm is just the lever, so its not hard to change it if you don't like it. I forget which I have on mine but had no difficulty pulling...

    Kind of feels like pointing out the obvious but if you get a brembo just save the stock mc and the brembo will transfer to your next bike. Even stainless lines would probably transfer as the distance from bars to brakes isn't that different on most bikes.

    I don't think there's any risk of you overheating them on an sv period, and not on any bike really until you have black number plates on the front. Also keep in mind the ferodos will only be beter then your ebc's if you're brave enough to be looking for the limit. What do you have for MC and...

    Dems Da Brakes?

    I'm thinking the ebc hh is a lot better then the galfer which was similar to stock, but the ferodos are a real eye opener. Especially on something like an sv which was equipped with mere speed scrubbers. With better pads you can move your brake markers closer to the corner, and if you tried to...

    Dems Da Brakes?

    Well you're missing out then. Nothing more fun then your brain screaming to get on the brakes, waiting until your mark and then getting on them, your brain still going "were never going to make it" and then scrubbing off just barely enough speed to be at your max corner speed as your knee hits...

    Dems Da Brakes?

    It has nothing to do with being able to trail brake, you're only using a fraction of your braking force while trail braking, it has to do with bite and stopping power. Race pads let you go deeper, brake harder and let you get closer to that "wait until you see god, and then brake" marker. You...

    Dems Da Brakes?

    Why would anyone voluntarily run a HH compound at the track when race pads are readily available? I didn't order race pads in time for round 5 and ended up having to use the galfer HH pads that were already on there and it was awful. They have no bite and are not meant to be run at the limit...
