Just wondering if anyone has pictures from Saturdays track day at TMP? Saw lots of people taking pictures, hoping some of them are on here.. Thanks.

I had a great time at GBM tonight, a great bunch including some friendly SOAR guys & it was nice to see Will Hornblower blasting around as well. Weather was a little windy but otherwise perfect.

I'm booked & paid & hoping the thunderstorms don't materialize. I'm excited to try out the new (to me) bike, I've never had suspension set up for my bodyweight etc before. Smudger

It's called "Road Riders"

That's the one Owen. Thanks for posting link.

A new 3 part documentary about grass roots road racing in Ireland aired last night in the U.K. Episode 1 is on YouTube for viewing now, it's well worth watching as they follow the lives of some these guys and girls. Search for Road Riders. Smudger

I would definitely go the Uhaul bike trailer route at first - inexpensive (maybe $30 including taxes & insurance) & with a nice big, low ramp making one man load/unload a complete doddle. I used U Haul for my first year of track days then bought a little fold up trailer last year. As for road...

Thanks everyone. All good advice. I'll have to check out Royal as the Bell Star 2016 is $600 at Fortnine. Smudger

Thanks Jay

Not sure which area to post this in so as I only ride on the track I thought I'd put it in here. Does anyone have experience of using the newer Bell helmets namely the Bell Star ($650) or the Bell Qualifier DX ($350)? The Star is DOT & SNELL approved while the Qualifier DX is DOT & ECE...

I have the Walmart one, seems ok so far Stay away from TSC ones, first breath of wind snaps the frame at the top.

When you run off the black stuff onto the green stuff don't use your front brake to try & stop.

Thanks John.

My brains getting old & confused Kyle, thanks for correcting me on the date ��

Thanks Jeff & AF4iK, That's great information & is appreciated. I'm going to try the new Michelin Power RS tires initially - its a brand new tire & there are not many reviews about but from what I've seen the reviews are very, very good so I'll try them initially...

Champion 2000w inverters are on sale at Can Tire for $699

Makes sense Kyle, thanks. I'm going to try the new Michelin Power RS tires & take it from there.

Thanks guys, all the advice is appreciated.

Hey Tyler, you did & I appreciate the advice but I'm still hesitant on the warmers, its not even the $$$, I'm just a little worried I wouldn't be keeping the heat in the tire - I did speak to "someone else" who told me I wouldn't need warmers on those tires. I should perhaps have clarified that...

I have been riding track for 2 seasons now on my 26 year old ZX7 using OEM sized Dunlop Q3 tires & they work fine for me, as far as I know anyways as they are all I have experience with. The front let go on a cold, wet, windy day at TMP in May last year but apart from that I have had no issues...
