I was doing a total of 8 shifts per lap, from 2nd to 4th on the straight, back down to 2nd for turn 1, up to 3rd on the small straight, down to 2nd for turn 2, back to 3rd out of turn 5, back to 2nd for turn 6, then 2nd all the way back to the straight. I couldn't imagine shifting 10 more times...

RIP rider

Thanks! And neither did I, I figured if anything it would take a large toll on the upper body, but boy was I wrong, my brain never processed how much work your legs have to do, fitness is definitely an important part of this sport

SweetOnion did you find that 2nd gear through the infield was the sweet spot, or were you using 3rd? I'm running stock gearing right now, and found once I got down into 2nd coming into turn 2, I stayed there until exiting 12 onto the straight. With our powerband being so narrow and high in the...

I'll have to give the coconut water a try, next time I'm gonna bring some gatorade or powerade, I was just drinking straight water for most of the day. I'm running Q3's, 30 in the front and 28 in the rear. I was checking them about every other session I'm glad it was able to quell some of...

That's my right peg. I can't get the ball of my foot to stay on when I'm off the bike without my toes pointing straight down, it was rather annoying and kept me from getting off and over as much as I felt I could have. And your racing blog was what gave me the idea of the write up. Hopefully the...

I user the lap times as progress reports, I like the fact that I don't know what times I'm running until the end of the session, when I'm out there I'm only focusing on the next turn or string of turns if its turn 2-3, or 4-5, or 10-11-12. I know I have to get more comfortable leaning off on the...

So yesterday was my first track day ever, and I wanted to share my impressions coming from a complete rookie. It's probably going to be a long post, but I want to share a break down of my day, and who better to share it with than you guys. It was the most exhilirating day I've had this year by...

I took the course there in October '12, great instructors, they know what they're talking about, and will teach you well. The only people that didn't pass were the people who aren't paying attention during the course or the people who honestly had no place being on a motorcycle

Made it out today, first ever track day. What a blast. I went up with great people, the weather was great, GWB put on an awesome day (so thank you of you read this!) and progressing throughout the day and seeing my times drop as I learned. Red r6 with the blue taped up lights.

Of course you don't, all that emotional and physical vibrational energy doesn't play well with carbonated beverages, you'd just make a giant mess

no need, I'm sure it will be on the monthly newsletter

My 600 is also the smallest bike in the group I ride with, surprisingly I don't get razzed about it. I think they all know if anything ever goes pear shaped I'd be the first to be caught

Lorenzo was extremely competitive last year, and only missed the championship by 4 points. I don't think he's done, the 2014 tires aren't working for him, which is a shame. He's been on form and running competitive times for the races where they used the 2013 tires, I don't think its going to...

Things were going great for Goose until Mav killed him. He would just need to make sure he doesn't run on a sidecar team with him and he would be good

It's too bad there isn't a Goose in the series, what a team!

I warn others all the time on the bike, they may not know what the double helmet tap means, but the ones that do get early warning... "Sorry officer, I think I had a little pebble in my helmet, seems to be gone now"

I think its a very bad decision for him. He could make me eat my words, but I think the jump from Moto3 to MotoGP will hurt him. He has a lot of talent, but from what I've seen of him this season I don't think he's ready. You watch, 2016 they will say his performance isn't where they expected it...

Avoid Clares Cycle if you can. I've never purchased a bike from them, but their service department was one of the worst experiences I've ever had when I was having my clutch issues. Never ever again for service, any only if I need an OEM part that day and they have in stock would I purchase...

My first time learning to drive stick was sink or swim, going to Port Dover from Welland I mentioned to my friend he should teach me to drive stick. He immediately pulled over, got me in the driver seat, and made me drive the rest of the way. Thankfully picked it up fairly quickly
