I don't usually drink beer at 7am on a Sunday..

I know exactly what you mean, which is why I tend to snicker to myself when I read about people making bike choices based on insurance differences of a few hundred per year.. lol peanuts. Sorry for posting by the way, I don't have any information regarding the topic, but hey a bump is always...

I chose to do that from the get go and avoid the heartache! Haha

This is the exact reason why I don't ride on the streets lol.. All you need is a random cop on the road ahead at a crossing when you come up at 200 to spoil the party for good

Wow! The prices of those.. I know what I should start manufacturing haha

You really want me in vintage don't you brian? Perhaps I'll take a better look at them when Im there for round 5.. How many guys are there currently? At the end of the day I enjoy going around a track as fast as I can on whatever bike I am on more than anything.

that would be so much better if it were of readable quality

Not deep enough! haha prior to the 125s I'd ridden a dirt bike less than a handful of times in my life, so I'd say yeah its the only bike. I've less than 10h total seat time, all time on the track. I'll be at grand bend in sept, and maybe in october, so I will have 3-4 race weekends under my...

Haha, care to elaborate? There is no rush really, its just my inner competitive devil saying "everyone is getting another years leg up on you". Which I know is pointless because I wont ever make it to motogp or world superbike, let alone I guess even a pro series. Am600 championship is my...

I've been doing the racer5 cbr125 course/races this summer because I really wanted to get into motorcycle racing, and I still do. My initial plan was to do this to get my feet wet and then come out next year on a 600, but I am starting to think that may not be the best decision financially for...

recip, do you have any issues with the things mentioned in the twist of the wrist series?

perhaps its time to look into a drum of vp or elf racing fuel :D

Well, to put it lamely, at regular ahem, legal road speeds you really have no need to lean off the bike, you don't really need the extra weight transfer to begin and hold a lean angle because you aren't going anywhere near fast enough to require it at all

I'm no expert by far, but a few racers have told me that strapping the bike down on that manner is bad for the suspension. Was told a story of a guy who drove out to Calgary for a race and when he got there the seals were blown and shock oil ****** out everywhere. Been told you should use a...

Some good food for thought, thanks Brian.

I can't say enough about boots. I wiped out this weekend at mosport and while my leg and knee are bruised to crap, my ankle and foot are completely fine. I have a pair of a* smx plus boots and the accident broke off the slider insert on the heel of the boot and the boot is scratched to **** but...

that certainly looks like a fun class. How do they compare to say the am600 bikes in terms of cost of running a race season?

800 a year is peanuts. I pay nearly that each month just to drive my car Sorry to hear about the end to two of your seasons though, must really bite.. but hey, once you can move your fingers well again you'll be on the bike cast or no cast. ;)

now that would be a blast to ride ;)

Let's be honest though, it takes some skill to drive most of the 400 series highways during rush hour, esp at interchanges, even though you're doing sub parking lot speeds! Hah
