    Looking to Race with SOAR

    Show me one system, just one, that has been implemented in Canada that has not had some sort of issue? Timing is a love hate. they work, they fail, they all have issues. It's part of the experience! There is not one system that can not be cursed by someone,,,even the old school, pen and paper...

    Csbk on tv!

    Or you can always do the ..ya better not mention names here,,,, but you could go slow to get lapped a lot and block. You'll get lots of coverage and everyone will know your name. They say there is no such thing as bad PR,, but one could argue that.

    250's with the right rider,can win a Superbike race. Shannonville long track it's been done, a little harder on the Pro Track. Mosport would be a feat but ,,the right bike and rider. Bogie,,,surely do-able. Grand Bend might be hard pending the track they use,,but that's an unknown. If you can...

    Best to check with the VRRA but I do know the last couple years they have had an open Two Stroke class as an experiment. So they had a class for "any" year. Eddy Brunet ran his RS 250 which is very current and a bunch of others have run late model TZ's as well. I believe it has been a success...

    Well,, there is no drug test or medical required to date. Not that it should not be required it just isn't. Also we don't have the numbers in this sport that you may be use to in Ireland. Nor is the sport as popular as in the 80's. RACE and SOAR are regional based. They both run out of one...

    Looking for opinions on Bickle warmers from China

    I do not trust anything anymore. I have seen generators running fine and warmers not working 100% I have seen Yamaha 1000's trying to run two sets of warmers and doing a very poor job of it.Owner wondering why they are cold tearing. I have seen XYZ warmers showing 85 Celcius and barely getting...

    Looking for opinions on Bickle warmers from China

    Also note that some models may say 80 but in fact are less. so ensure you check to see that the displayed temp is in fact the real temp. And what was,,,,,isn't. So if you are talking to people that bought 2-3 years ago,,, keep in mind the desired temp then is not what is desired today. So ensure...

    Looking for opinions on Bickle warmers from China

    Non of that really matters as much as the heat out put. In a 45 minute window at 20 C ambient,, what would your max temp be on the tire and rim temp? That is the lowest I have ever seen next to Tyre Sox. Too little and it usually means not enough heat. Just curious. To qualify, is it enough...

    How long do your race tires last?

    well,on a Ninja 250, did a 2:38 at Calabogie on two year old tires that came on the bike new. New tires sure would have helped the mid corner grip and entry grip. But the bike was for the most part stuck. So in my experience, smaller bikes need grip on entry/mid corner. Bigger bikes need grip...

    How long do your race tires last?

    Also consider that all these riders are using warmers which ,,if you don't,, changes everything Which is not meant to be an info-mercial but the info will be tainted if you venture out with out warmers and hot tire pressures. I think the key today is to get that hot tire pressure right for your...

    "Two Wheel Tuesdays and Thursdays" at GBM in 2016

    Have done Grand Bend doing the speed limit in 2 hours and 58 minutes from Courtice. Pulling the trailer.Bogie is farther then that.Grand Bend is an easier drive pulling a trailer. If you stay and incorporate the beach,,,well worth it. But it is no Bogie,,

    quebec track days and/or races?

    ` The only configuration they use for bikes is the one with the chicane. Corner 1 at Tremblant is the most dangerous corner of "ANY" track I have raced on. And there's been a few. I also doubt they put any haybales out for a track day. So ,,YES it is fast and a blast,,but Corner 1 needs the...

    quebec track days and/or races?

    With out some work done to corner one, I would have a very tough time going back there for an event. The entrance to the corner can be pushed back, wall moved and 50 feet of run off provided. But the owner chooses to ignore the issues. The track workers do not care about your issues and or...

    Tire pressure, and suspension setup

    They can all do it, they choose not to.Several years ago, before the "slump" at SMP ,,, I had 50 people prepared to pay $150-ish for the next year for power. You could run power down the middle and cement it in or poles. If you charged $25 a weekend as soon as the install charge is covered you...

    Tire pressure, and suspension setup

    Don't get me started on the generator thing! There are some very good cost effective generators today that are quiet. It may not bother you to have a noisey generator,,but for the cost of a decent quiet one now,, it should. And buying a loud cheap one and 3000 feet of cord,,,most likely will not...
