The sticky in this section by John Bickle is also very helpful. Tire warmers are one heck of a science that I am still in research stage (and $$$ saving stage). One 5min video isn't going tell you anything more then the obvious points. Anyone have recommendations on some literature regarding...

I saw that too, and it's not just a short broadcast either. I think they even broadcast the sportbike class tonight at 6pm. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the Ralph Shaheen character, ever since he thought Jorge Lorenzo wanted to be called Lorentho. Dude has an accent so when you ask him how to...

Interesting concept. However what about passengers? What about public transportation? Many loop-holes to that idea.

Speaking from experience or have you seen one actually go down? That'll be one of those "don't want to watch but can't take my eyes off of it".

Not sure about dual sport gear, but sportbike track gear in michigan has a pretty decent selection of gear in store and in-stock if you felt like stopping in on your way home. Tried on 4 or 5 different suits and sizes in their warehouse before finding the one I have now. They've got tons of...

Re: Parker Bros. - done Yeah that'll be when pigs fly too and china pays their workers more then a buck a day... till then this is life. It appears Canadian companys get surcharged for the same product the US doesn't get surcharged. Or the US can just get the product cheaper due to volume or...

Pic's or it didn't happen. I am very interested to see this.

That's pretty ridiculous... The 180's, bunny hops into endo on the hill and Jorian is obviously a monkey on a bike. I'm not an expert on stunting by no means but can definitely appreciate the skill knowing that there are some insane difficult tricks in there.

That's the truth...

Kawasaki you say? Where the hell were they this year? Not enough room so they get the boot?

Has anyone else heard of this from their State Farm Agent: "In regards to changes, they are internal State Farm changes. They are predicting a rate increase on motorcycles (but I do not know the extent) as well, they are going to start looking at a number of other factors such as age, a closer...

That's a good one! Just saw that one while browsing Kijiji. GP has a demo 2012 675 with pipe for almost $4k cheaper.

Who are you with? Statefarm?

Was a great day on Saturday, weather turned out perfect. I believe it was a high-side in both the beginner and hot shoe and a low side in the intermediate group all on turn 12. The first one in beginner completely totaled a newer R6 with street fairings and taped up lights. Went home on its...

In for Saturday Intermediate group, hope the weather network has a slight idea of what they're doing.

I would have to agree with the above. I was timid to move into intermediate on my second day, did pretty good in beginner on my first day (mid to high 1:30s) and got bumped to intermediate on my second day where I ran my personal best 1:25. Was at Sunday's track day in intermediate and was a...

Booked in for Sunday, intermediate group. Black ZX6R with green tank. Come over and say hi.

Yep no change on that, fiberglass and paint fixed the bike but a sling is still all they can do for the collar bone. However if your someone like Colin Edwards, you can spend 15g and get a bunch of plates and screws to fix a collar bone and be back to work in no time.

Yeah I think I was the first to bust a bone at GBM, the first track day done by Forest City Honda running counterclockwise. Not sure which layout it was but lowsided on a left and busted the collar bone. Bit of fiberglass repair and tremclad paint and good to go. Here's the bike coming out of...

I agree, brain has to be at mach speed to compute everything that is going on when you're moving that fast. Your bike look like its set up pretty close to prefect on that last corner, just seems to "track" if you will and hold a very tight line through the last turn without any issue. Also looks...
