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.
Hello all
I’m in the middle of a project, basically trying to stick an 848 swing on onto an old 1984 yamaha xv920.. seemed like a good idea at the time!
I’ve been researching wheels and think a five spoke would look much better on the old bike than the newer 848 10 spoke Marchesini wheels...
If I do a ride of, say, 400 km on my 999 I've got to crack the bleed screw and let the air out. It's fitted with remote canisters, but it was the same issue before these. It doesn't seem to use fluid, and I'm not getting any leakage under the slave. I read somewhere, I think, that the master can...
I've already started a thread about my top triple clamp having a crack in it. I asked a couple of questions about screw/bolt torque values on the triple clamp and I didn't receive a response so I decided to address it again with a new thread. The bike is an 03 999R with the number plaque. I've...
hello all
I've got a line on a 748s as listed in the title, it has highish miles at 24k, no real service records but has been looked at by the local dealer at some point in the past three years, body is a nice 10 footer, some evidence of track use and a possible drop in the past. would need...
I just picked up a nice 1997 916 mono a couple of weeks ago. It only has 4880 miles on the clock, but it's been dropped (encounter with ice according to the PO) resulting in some damage to right side fairings, and it was painted at some point before that. The repaint included non-factory decals...
