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.
Hi there, I currently have a 2019 Tuono Factory (don't panic I've had multiple generations of Hypermotards). I used to do a little tiny bit of street riding but now pretty much only ride on the track.
I'm quite curious about the new V2 as a dedicated track bike. Has anyone done so? If so are...
My clutch master cylinder on a 2001 996 wont draw from the reservoir. I tried a vacuum line and it wont draw any air through in either direction regardless of piston position. Is there a way to remove the nipple for the reservoir? It seems like there's a blockage in there somewhere. Anybody...
Does anyone here have experience setting up a 1098 for the track and chosen to both lengthen the swingarm and shorten the triple clamp offset? I have added a full centimeter to my stock swingarm by slotting the brake anchor. I think most of the longer arms are 15mm longer. It did keep the front...
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...
Jesus they are impossible to see what's behind me. I am 6'5" and I have to do the crazy chicken to see.
Anyone find a decent solution?
I see mixed reviews on the Oberons as they vibrate like crazy....
