Wearing her street clothes, at Hallett Motorsports Park near Tulsa, OK on 9/7/08. My first track day. My form needs a little work, and my knee puck velcro on my pants needs to be moved lower on my leg...
Doing some 'outside only' passing:
Here's a guy having not-so-much fun right in front of me:
You don't want hard stuff, its too brittle. The stuff you want is similar to shark skinz, which is a bit more flexible. I'm always shocked how flexible the shark skinz are, compared with E-racings or DP for example. I have a friend with DP fairings and its hard to stretch them onto his bike, he couldn't use extended frame sliders because the fairing simply wouldn't stretch.
As somebody else pointed out in a previous post, shark skins are pricey because they're the best. If you don't need or want the best, save money, get the E-Racings, they're STUPID cheap and for the price of 1 set of shark skins you can get two! This way, when you crash, you've got a spare set waiting! Its what I'm gonna end up doing...
OMG, I wanna go to new hampshire international speedway SOOOO badly! I was there this summer for a race event, sans motorcycle!!! AAK!!! I was so pissed off, I wanted to race so badly! I didn't have any of my gear, or I would have just rented a bike...

I've been thinking about a WERA tour for a while. A track day wouldn't mean enough, racing on the track, would be worth while. I know somebody who wasn't a good rider, but one the WERA championship because he showed up to every single race! Its gonna take me another year of riding to become fast enough for a stunt like that. I'm seriously debating buying an RV and working from the road for a year! WOW, what a hoot that would be!

Hard and expensive! At least with Shark Skins, they're made in the US, so your not having to pay for import taxes and such. If you had a xx8 bike, I'd say, find a nice used set of REAL carbon fiber DP fairings, they're schweet! But the xx9 and newer, its much nicer to have the shark skinz due to the design and flexibility.
Thank you everyone for your help so far and for answering my retarded questions. I am rebuilding a 2016 959 which was in an accident.
Bought the bike for 4k, not sure what I will do with it after (probably keep it) but I enjoy the me time in the garage.. Here are some pics so far.
I know we have some of the weakest bikes in the world when they get here, but I don't really know what's different.
If I buy a full exhaust, race filter, and race ECU for my 1098 will that make it the same as a Euro/ N.American model? I've got my eye on a used kit for sale, but I don't know if...
Fellas!
Who has used cryogenic treatment on their engine build and on what parts (case, transmission, piston or all)?
Before or after any machine work?
What’s your experience and conclusion?
Thanks!

Hi. Can someone please tell me what the numbers are that are stamped into head gasket on a 1098r. One is part number. There is a other one and what looks like a time. I'm hoping it is when it was manufactured and time. Thank you
I just bought a used 1098 it's a 2007. Guy told me he laid it down doing 10 miles an hour and the clutch is jammed. Anyways it won't start and I can't get the neutral light to come on but when it's off I can use my foot to put it in neutral so it rolls but it won't show the neutral light. Can I...
