    Trackday at TMP - May 3rd

    Sometimes it's best to just stay behind a slower rider until it is 110% safe to pass IE get him at the front of the straight away or don't push yourself trying to outbrake him. Looks like you just got in a little over your head. Very nice save though. Did the same thing after my lowside too...

    Tmp gearing?

    03 ZX6R Front -1 Rear +2 (didn't have +3 in stock and didn't have the patients to wait) I find it's a good combo, able to navigate the infield without any inconveniencing gear changes. Probably better with a higher rear depending on the bike.

    So did he win the case? What does all this italic type mean?

    Except on the street that's either a bus, semi, or another motor vehicle that is larger than a motorcycle and your not as lucky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VruWHHEnZGw&feature=share

    2003 zx6rr... Reviews and opinions.

    I've got an 03 636 that I track, I've been very happy with it. Newcomer to track days and inline 4's but had no issues making the transition. And yes I do wish I had a slipper so the RR would be great on track, locked up the rear a couple times not matching the revs.

    Motorcycle lulz, and not so lulz

    Never seen the one with the guy wall riding the cliff. That could go very very wrong if he loses the front end or hits a big rock.

    Are they using titanium sliders? Don't know of any other material that puts off sparks that white.

    TMP August 25th (Thursday)

    Funny story with that too, he (Hugh? if I remember correctly) commented on one of my track day youtube videos when I caught him on camera after he layed the sport classic down in turn 9. I sent a message back asking if he went by the alias of "kamenrider" on GTAM and turns out it was just a...

    TMP August 25th (Thursday)

    Good to hear you had a good time, hows the classic running? I was hesitant to bump up to Intermediate as it scared me a bit before I had rode in it, didn't want to hold anyone up. But it did make the whole experience more enjoyable even if I was a pylon to some, I never found myself closing...

    Learn something new every day. I'm sure you can get pretty imaginative with remote setups. Still blown away at the no handed stoppie best trick at one the XDL's.

    Is it me or does he have 3 calipers on the rear disc? Really? I understand 2 for handbrake but what in the hell would you need 3 for? I could understand for more feel, but with 3 wouldn't you loose feel and basically lock up the rear with your pinky. Johnny?

    HF Trailer Build Input

    Canyon dancers are so that you dont put stress on your grips/throttle tube and allow for the straps to have no contact with the fairings. I'm sure there are ways to properly tie a bike down without canyon dancers but I like them. Mind you they have no affect on lessening the suspension...

    650bhp Busa

    Thats rediculous. I wonder what kind of chain you would have to have for 650hp. That thing is stretching pretty bad, would hate to see what happens when it breaks. I'd be interested to know what he's spraying too, my guess would be some sort of lubricant for the turbo?

    DC Shoes: Ken Block`s Gymkhana Four Megacommercial! Awesome sauce!

    Linky no worky try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btViXvIDsi0 Pretty cool though, not a fan of all the cheesy special effects and 2 minute prelude, and 3 minutes of credits but some pretty cool stunts. Liked the ladder and forklift stunts.

    REDNECK racing at Grand Bend.

    The first track day held in July was on the kart track in reverse. It was a good tool to work on left handers as I favor the right side.

    wow! what a trooper?!

    Yeah its pretty amazing what adrenaline can do. Crashed at my last track day, got right up ****** off swearing at the world gave the marshall a thumbs up with my left arm as I felt fine. Give it about 5 minutes and the broken collar bone on my left side kicked in. Wasn't feeling so hot then. No...

    Cbr125 as a first track bike?

    It seems the obvious advice for anything motorcycle related is to start small. However, I do agree with Mr. Duck, for track use your better off with something with a little more balls than the 125. I would argue the safety factor on this one too as closing speed and overall speed differences...
