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.
I just changed the belts on my 749 after reading thru the forums and watching every video I could find. After replacing them and buttoning everything back up except the fairings I did one last bit of research and found that CA Cycleworks is now recommending 99hz instead of the 110 hz in the...
I Have a 2001 748 , Im thinking of getting the SpeedyMoto top triple clamp as you can have the bars raised 3/4 inch which would take some of the stress off the wrists, im not looking to alter the height a large degree, does anyone done this and is it worth the investment
Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing good.
I recently came across a 1299 SL at a great price, super low mileage (under 500) and got me very exited as it is the bike that I always dreamed of and I’m very keen to get it. I like the new V4 line up too but I’m really not sure whether I should go for...
Anybody knows how much oil pressure its the normal working range on the panigale 899, 1199 or 1299 oil pump?
Im rebuilding an 1199 engine and need to check this to avoid future issues..
thanks in advance.
The rubber bot on my 05 999s failed too soon. I'm talking the master cylinder rubber. (bike has only 2k miles) and leaked air. As well as the slave cylinder failed. I replaced the slave with a $50 item of eBay. For the master cylinder, I ended up removing the whole clutch lever with the master...
