How did you misread my post that badly? lol

Something that i think makes a lot of descent riders have slow lap times is the way they apply the brakes. It looks like you're starting to brake where you feel comfortable, and then only braking hard enough to get down to the right corner speed. What you need to do is brake at 100 percent of...

Make sure your bike has water in it, not coolant. As mentioned just bring an open mind, and possibly a tent and some extra cash so you can ride the track day on the sunday. You're going to want to ;)

knox or forcefield protectors are the best on the market. That A* stuff is junk

LoL i dont remember the context of that specifically but i'm sure i rambled on about various nonsense. As an intermediate rider i was more guilty then anyone of trying to give advice and talk about things that were over my head. Without getting horribly personal growing up has been a we'll say...

And watch that in basically every single corner leading up to the crash. Turn in too soon, have to leant he bike farther as you get to apex, roll off because you're still on the wrong line and bam! Bye bye front

Definitely me :p not going to hide behind my avatar with the comments i've made. I'll admit i'm probably quick to snap at people on the internet where as in person i might be more likely to start a discussion. It's not that you insist on being right, it's more the fact that intermediate skill...

The problem is you're giving advice on things you don't know anything about. My comment was that a novice pace having fresh oil in the forks is probably far less important, you're not pushing hard enough on entry for it to make a big difference but (and I would have thought it goes without...

Funny thing is if its the person I think it is, he's actually a really nice guy. Pretty sure I was pitted beside him on the 22nd. He just gives endless bad advice on this forum, about things he really doesn't understand.This all started about my suggestion that the OP should remember that fork...

He did roll off the throttle which upset the bike a little, but if that was enough to cause the front tire to wash I'd fall down a lot more then I do. I'm guessing that might have been a 200 lap front tire.

So you're giving advice based on things you've heard, but don't actually have the skill or knowledge to back up. You make comments about things you don't understand, and sooner or later someones going to get hurt because of the nonsense you spew.As for my retirement, there might be a comeback...

Thats what i was thinking. You're quick enough to keep the tires hot, doesn't make any sense to me why you fell through there. How shot was the front tire?

I wonder if we're both thinking of the same person. Said person was doing 1:16's on someone elses stock gixxer that wasn't even setup for him lol.

And what credibility does your opinion weigh in with exactly? If you are riding around in novice group you're not riding hard enough to notice short comings in suspension if it's even vaguely setup for you. My comment was about well used fork oil, if you're not pushing the bike hard you wont...

haha those guys sound like badasses!

your opinions on racing are such a joke. Cal commented on what stopped him from being at the front also, i guess he's a dick too? Did you see marquez and rossi chatting right after marquez's comment? Clearly you care more then rossi did, just stupid. Insane race though. Lorenzo's still a twat...

Yes. A y38 form should be filled out on anything of value that you are taking out of the country. For instance if you were bringing a laptop with you it would be a good idea to get that on the form as well. As mentioned the point in the form is just to say you brought it into the states with...

Curious OP, what sort of lap times are you running around tmp? And were you running warmers?

Fork oil needs to be replaced every season, it wears out just like the oil in your engine but he may very well have changed it at the beginning of the season. If you're running in novice group you wont be pushing the front end hard enough for it to matter, but it's something to think about for...

Belly pans are generally only required for racing, but some track day organizers (sportbike track time down in the states for sure) may require full race prep to run in the fast group because of the close proximity that the bikes ride to each other. Looking good op! How much have you setup the...
