When I was looking for my track bike, I had two bikes to choose from. The second bike had 34,000km and the seller basically said that this was due to the gearing change and the actual mileage was lower. This was actually one of the factors that contributed to me buying the first bike. If I...

Thanks for all the info, I really appreciate it. So far I have to change the clip-ons that came with the track bike. The previous owner was very extreme by my newbie standards. The clip-ons are so low that my hands are almost touching the fairing of the bike when I grab the handlebars. I...

Thats what its about, having fun. I'm not racing anyone I'm just about improving my riding and seeing what the bike can do. When you're in love, you're in love and I love the 1000RR. 65%, 10% it doesn't matter as long as I'm having fun and its safe. I'll progress at my own pace and take it one...

I also have a 1000RR as my road bike and this was actually my first bike and yes its a handfull. For the first two years I didn't ride with any groups and I had one set route that I rode. With a bike like this you have to respect the power and yes I'm still a newbie since I"ve only used 65% of...

Thanks for all the info. I have a 2011 honda 1000RR and I was thinking of going with the woodcraft 1.5 clip-ons/weighted bar ends, woodcraft frame sliders(shorter than normal), woodcraft clutch/stator cover and the woodcraft swingarm slider spools. I guess I should be looking at other brands...

Went over my buget buying my track bike (lol) and I still have parts to buy. Just don't want to waste money buying parts that just don't work. I have to change the clip-ons and was wondering if the clip-ons bar ends with weights are worth it? Also are frame sliders ok for a track bike and what...

The manual for the bike states that “It is important to follow the tire recommendation because the combined ABS (front and rear brakes) computer works by comparing wheel speed. Incorrect tires can affect wheel speed and confuse the system.” The recommend tire size for my rear is 190/50 and I...

Thanks for clearing that up. Did I mention I was a newbie.lol.

Just got a used track bike that came with a clear plastic tube instead of a brake resevoir, I've never seen or heard of this before, is it safe and is anyone else using this setup? Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk 2

In Ontario, you’re allowed to ride a motorcycle on private property without insurance. If someone were to trailer their track bike to say a mall/factory parking lot (not saying to do this, it’s just a hypothetical question lol) and test ride it, would that be ok? I’m assuming the mall/factory...

Thanks for all the info., Rider's Choice first track day is May 7/15 at Fabi, so I'll be going; if anyone else is going give me a shout.

Thanks for all the info.:p

Finally decided to do my first track day this year at Shannonville, and was looking for any advice from anyone that done a track day there. Eg. What’s the track surface like, what turns to watch out for, where’s the best place to set up the canopy, is the set up area for the canopy, grass or...

I’m interested, give me a shout

Icbones, that's a good one. I work at 3 hospitals downtown T.O., one in Mississauga, and I was trained in Oshawa decades ago, who knows maybe we’re already met.

Don’t hope for rain, I did my M2 last year and it was raining. Had my rain gear in the car but I didn’t put in on until the next break and by then I was soaked and freezing. One of the drills we practiced that day was emergency stops using the back brakes only. During one of my runs, I locked...

Small world, I'm across the street from you Mitch, I'm at Salem and Thackery Dr. Give me a shout if any of you guys want to go for a ride.

Yes I am. lol

That might have been me riding around Salem and Taunton. I ride a black/yellow 1000RR and I do have a one piece suit, but that’s for special occasions. Give me a shout and I’ll tag alone for a ride one day. I still consider myself a newbie and I’m 60% of where I want to be control wise.

This is my second season and I still consider myself a newbie. Last year I got my M2 and I also got a 2008 1000RR as my first bike. To help with the learning curve, I’ve been watching a video called Twist of the Wrist 2. This video has helped me tremendously and every time I watch it I learn...
