Finished in 10th at Portimao, not bad considering he was in the 20s during the first day and up to 15th during qualifying , http://superbike-news.co.uk/wordpress/index.php/Motorcycle-News/superstock-1000-fim-cup-portimao-race-result

Sad to hear about this. I'm not sure if anyone is at the liberty of talking about this, or even wishes to talk about this, but what made the business not viable? - Was it the cost of bikes/instructors - Cost of the track - Course cost too low to cover expenses - Not enough students? BTW - if...

I hope he learned a lot and is upbeat about the experience. I just don't know how they can pick just like 10 or 12 or whatever riders from a group with more than 100 in a couple of days. Remember Michael Jordan was cut from a High School basketball team.... BUT.... became the best in the world!

Dunno guys. Regular business hours are the hours the business is open. If that business is open from 10 - 1, then that makes sense. If the business is open until 4:30 pm, then in my opinion it doesn't. Regular business hours does not mean some arbitrary time during regular hours of...

Oh it is bad... very bad. I don't have the answer as how to turn it around, but a hope would be that one of the other organizations would become popular enough with the amateur ranks, that in the future it would start having pro classes at the national level.

Parts Canada SOAR series? :D

So Turbo, any news on a repave? If they want a major event, that might be a consideration. Ya Ron Fellows is the token local Pro partner. He really loves that track.

That's a lot of good work. Not my gig in terms of suspension/swing arm choice, but the bike is looking very nice and clean.

So is breaking into your house seen as a form of "assault" or similar where you can introduce force before force is applied against you? I mean if there is a chick and she is 5' nothing and a huge dude breaks into her house, she's not going to wait until something happens.... right. If she can...

Some info on Brett and his race from his team press release. The funny bit is that him and his teammate Markus R*.* have the same helmet as well. They look like twins out there. :D http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=46264

Fittipaldi has a Kawi dealership in Brazil and they came up with this new edition. I think the colours are pretty cool. The price is probably high, but then again almost anything imported into Brazil has a crazy price anyway. Fittipaldi use to (and still might) own car dealerships in the US...

OK I'm confused. So if someone comes into your house is stealing stuff and you think he/she may be a danger to you, you can't use force? What do they mean by force? You have to wait until they attempt to hurt you before you can do something about it? How about if someone is taking your...

I am not advocating using engine ice, except during winter trackdays.... even at US tracks where regular anti-freeze is allowed, I still use Water wetter in regular months. However in the middle of winter, it becomes a complete PIA, especially when temps can dip below 0 at night time.

If you take things at face value, my statement makes more sense than Caboose's first response.... because if you read both, you'd first think that you can use Engine Ice at any track day (this is the track day section btw) and if you read his, you'd think that there are many times where you...

Again I wasn't talking about RACING I was talking about trackdays. But just to prove a point: STT (track day organizer) on their website: Advanced and Intermediate group riders must use water, water wetter or a non-ethyl glycol based anti-freeze/coolant. Approved Poly Glycol brands are...

I'd love to go, I need insurance. :D Brain - I was talking about US tracks and trackdays in particular.... not racing organizations and definitively not in Canada.

Dude - you are thinking of this backasswards. It goes like this. BTW - before we start, I hope you asked for disclosure, if not do. Anyhoo - you go to court. If the cop doesn't show, you don't ask for another date, that is what the crown will most likely want. What you want to do is go to...

That is the case for Ethylene Glycol. As far as Propylene Glycol, I really have never heard of a track saying you can't use it. I have heard of 1 organization in California if memory serves me right, that does trackdays and required water/water wetter - but that's it. Gary - I am not...

OK Caboose - go ahead and make it accurate. Canadian Tire in Milton DOES have Engine Ice Most tracks in the US actually allow antifreeze with the exception of 1 or 2. I don't know of ANY that do not allow Engine Ice.... but you might, so go nuts.

Canadian Tire in Milton has quite a few. You can use it at US tracks.
