Cruiser rider here, never been above 140km/h. I’m gonna just roll out of it next time I get some head shake coming out of turn 7 at Mosport because staying on the gas makes it worse. I’ll vlog about it after.

I had one of these on my snowmobile helmet and it was awful. The lens distorted everything terribly and have me a headache. Are the more expensive road helmets better?

Ok.

Yep, you’re correct. The other way will make a better crash video.

Glad that you agree that his riding was careless.

The issue is that the contact with Rossi wasn’t the first incident, he’d been doing it all weekend. It wasn’t a little touch or Marquez standing guys up, it’s full on slamming into other riders when there was no room. Look at what happened to Pedrosa, that could’ve been a lot worse. What if his...

Cars are not bikes. I don’t expect anyone to move out of my way and I also won’t go off the racing line to just let someone by. Slow down slightly to allow them to pass, maybe. Do I expect to be hit by the passing rider? **** no! If you hit me you’ve made a bad error in judgement and if you’re...

Also roll out takes time. Surprsingly its all all the be leading up to roll out that makes you want to puke. Once you’re on the grid you relax and just focus, nothing left to do but go.

Completely agree.

It might help keep people competing if their costs were offset more by bigger payouts that go farther down the grid but the money would have to at least triple for guys to break even. Unless you’re the one guy who makes a living at this...

Ya but even regular maintenance is nicer. The extra foot print just makes them that much more stable than the jack stands but they’d be hard to justify if you only used them once a year.

I did the jack stand thing for awhile. The pit bull ones are worth their weight in gold.

These work perfectly. Just need a piece of wood the size of the lip to keep the stand flat as the legs are too big to fit. Also great for trackside triple clamp offset changes or shock removal. https://www.pit-bull.com/racers-pit-crews/jack-stands-pair-for-front-or-rear-f0062-000

Only thing I don’t do on the lift is drop/install the motor. I’ve torn the bike down to the frame a few times all while on there at whatever height I feel comfortable working. I ditched the wheel chock and use my regullar stands. No tie downs necessary.

No ragrets.

Cost of the bike is just the beginning. $25k won’t get you far with a new bike, converting it to track, spares (wheels, bodywork, clipons, rearsets, at minimum), tuning etc. The cost of the weekends (entry fees, TIRES, crew, TIRES, fuel, TIRES) is where your wallet gets emptied fast. You can’t...

Fairly certain KR will not be there. Put me on the list for spectating as well. 4 years running full series has burnt me out. With the amount of money it takes I should have been 3’ off the ground for the whole summer but it was becoming 365 days of stress with no reward. I’ll be back, and...

Lol nope I got it, just pointing out your very bold claim to having “literally every part you could ever want on a track bike”. The Ti fasteners alone would be into the $1000’s :)

Need, maybe. Want....impossible. Buy a built bike.

$3000 wouldn’t be a good deal on a 2015 zx6?? Maybe it should just be free?
