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.
Something totally bolt-in ... maybe replaces the stock lens as well as the element? Y'know, something that would not require cutting out or otherwise changing the shape of the headlight holes to install? I don't mind if it would require upgrading the voltage reg and/or heavier wiring from the...
Hello, Found a crazy good deal on an 899 that I bought for my wife. Rode the bike home no issues except quick shifter was not on and I could not get it on through the dash, put it on a batt tender and then tried to start it and started fine, then it cut off and I tried starting it again and it...
I have a 1996 916 SP3. I have had the bike for many years.
For a long time there has been a fairly pronounced dip in power at 3,900-4,300 rpm - what I mean is that it kind of chugs through that RPM range with little to no aggression, whereas she pulls really hard in the rest of the power-band...
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...
My new Shorai battery in my 1098 always shows 12.6 or about that before cranking the engine. I always crank it, wait, crank, wait about 5-6 times until it finally hits 12.8v on the rebound and then it always starts.
It’s not that cold where I live and I’m not sure temp is the main fault here...
