    Pickering: rider in critical condition

    He was a fabricator at a GTA custom bike shop. He left behind a wife and 2 young children. His funeral was packed full of bike people, it was beautiful.

    Clip-Ons positioning for track use

    Holding the end of the bar isn't an error that needs fixing, I do it and I've seen MotoGP riders that do as well. (until you get a blister in your palm, that is) I think you'll find that there's little to gain and a lot of comfort to lose, but you should try a few things to learn what difference...

    How is this ok?

    I'm new to this circle j*erk so I'll waste another attempt to enlighten you on the reality of the situation. I once witnessed Frank Trombino (multi-time pro champion) make it all the way to turn 7 on his first lap of a trackday before he comprehensively balled his bike up and went home. As good...

    How is this ok?

    What I learned today: Highly knowledgeable people will spend inordinate amounts of time trying to educate people who clearly have no frame of reference with which to comprehend the information. Bless you all for trying, but for your own sanity, please focus on those who actually want to learn...

    Fatal Crash in Moscow WSBK

    You would find it easier to understand if you had the focus and drive that every rider on that grid has. Rain is just another condition to be managed, like worn tires or poor setup. I personally love racing in the rain and would always vote to race.

    Rotella on Sale

    The "Fail" is in this post. The largest lubricants supplier in the world and the largest oil retailer in Canada conspired to sell a sub-standard version of the top diesel oil brand in the world, and you're the only one who knows it. Uh-huh

    Indianapolis MotoGP Aug 17-19, anyone going?

    Save yourself some money and buy your ticket from a scalper at the gate. 2 years ago I got my ticket for $60 from a vet named "Sarge". You'll have a blast.

    GTAM Track Day 2012 - Aug 25, 2012

    Same thing ran through my mind. What could be better than hacking around the track for a day, then going to watching the fastest riders in the country do it right, the very next day? I'm making phone calls right now, gonna stuff Paul like a Cornish hen. :)

    What brake pads ?????

    Rotor prep is every bit as important as the pad itself. Remove the rotors, bead blast or scotch-brite the surface, bed-in according to pad manufacturer.

    Bmw s1000rr offer ?????

    I would imagine it to be difficult for someone who has no racing history to be able to get the deal. It's not a newbie racing program so past racing history will be the first criteria for consideration. I'm sure they're response will be very polite, nonetheless.

    Bent front rim

    I know that Sandy at pro 6 has done it in the past, he did one of my Buell wheels. Cost and if he still does it is outside of my recollection.

    Sayonara - GTA, well sort of.

    Stay safe, Alberta has the worst winter road conditions imaginable, I don't think you could accidently make them that bad, it has to be on purpose. We'll miss you, stay in touch.

    where to buy engine ice

    That's actually opposite of the effect you'd see from a higher concentration of glycol. You should ask what type of lubricant is compatible with glycol, I'm interested to know as well. BTW, This ^ is the GTAM way of telling you that people are not telling you the truth. At least I don't use...
