    Racer5 Speedworx 2006 R1 Racebike/Ultimate Trackday Weapon $6500!

    I am putting up my favorite bike from my collection up for sale. The only reason for the sale is that the bike is very rarely used and just sits at Speedworx Superbike Service getting expensive parts put on it. Its won every single race it has run in except for one second place finish! The...

    Got vintage?

    Thanks its actually a 1975 CB750. This is just a side project I keep at the shop during our downtime. That is just a pic of it getting the chassis numbers squared away. ZX6 front forks will get a ohlins 30mm fork kit and ttx36 rear shock. The swing arm in the pic is modified zx6rr but I...

    Shannonville hotels

    I've only stayed at the Fairfield Inn while in Belleville so I don't have other establishments in the area to compare it too. Nice enough place, pool, hot tub, ok hot breakfast included with the room. Also had the added bonus of huge rooms, a microwave and fridge that made it much easier for...

    first track day recommendations

    TMP intro to track school is a good option to get some instruction to the track, but dont dismiss FAST or Racer5 because you are under the impression that they cost more. I think there are cheaper options for both schools. I know that during the show season Racer5 the four day course with a...

    New tire which brand to go with

    I might not have been clear in my previous post, I apologize about that. If you are riding 15,000 km a season a set of road smarts or PR3s would be your most economical choice, not the cheapest tire avaliable A mounted set on bike would cost you a bit over $400ish and would see you well into...

    New tire which brand to go with

    To the OP - Don't get too worried about the latest in "hyper street" tires unless you really need them. One thing that the latest and greatest tire crowd forget is that most of them won't be able to tell the difference from one tire to the other. We service a lot of street bikes and we change...

    You notice very bad body position on trackday... Do you say something?

    I think its great to be open to advice but there is a bit of a risk in this as well. All too often I see people with questionable experience giving out advice on how to ride, setup their bikes etc. Its great to be welcoming to new riders and its crucial in growing our sport, but riders please...

    Track for Newbie

    Sorry about the confusion but I do try and mention it as clearly as possible, sometimes the events of the day might cause me to forget if I have. To be honest I have been flogging it for a long long time and the lukewarm respose is probably why I just mention it only briefly at the riders...

    Track for Newbie

    We always have at least one control rider that is there for nothing else but to help people around the track. That particular day we had Scott Rupert, Mike Bevan, Paul Skene and Attila Kovacs. (most days we just have one or two dedictated control riders) Its blows my mind how nobody ever...

    Race Suit Modification/Repairs

    Ivan passed away but apparently the business will still be operating! I'm sure they would be a great shop to go to if the regular trackside services aren't an option. http://cmgonline.com/news/2012/06/08/im-leathers-to-stay-in-business/ I had never had the pleasure of meeting Ivan but was...

    Trackday at TMP - May 3rd

    I have tires at the Speedworx shop in Markham. I can bring down Pirelli dragons or trackday pro slicks for you if you are in a bind. But you will have to install and balance them, as trackside service isn't really my forte. PM me if you want me to throw some in the trailer.
