[Steve O Chap]

I know I'm a little early, but is anyone else going to do the July 29th LSTD trackday at TWS? Sign ups should open up in a week or so, sooooo... make sure to sign up early!

BTW, I'll be there on the red/white F4i. (The Flying Candycane)

[Moody]

[CarbonJames]

i'll be there for the track day,, hopefully have the R1 running by then if not then i'll be rockin the 636 out there

[Steve O Chap]

Yeah, I'll just be out there for the trackday though I'll probably come and watch the races... slow old me will chill in the B group. Just trying to keep times down below 2:08s until I can get my new suspension. (Spent $350 on crown molding last night so there goes my RaceTeching I had planned before the trackday. :eh:)

Henry/Charles if you need any help in your pits let me know. I'll swing by and lend a helping hand for you.

those crowns suck.* I've never needed one but i saw the prices and even with our insurance (cigna) they weren't all that cheap. Like 100 a piece. :eh:

[paniro187]

thanks for the offer but i'm not well off enough to need help. Don't have tire warmers and will not be switching tires like the other well to do peeps. :laughing6: feel free to come by and say hi. I'll be there sunday. won't be running superstock a anymore. just b and whatever other race my bike is eligible for.

[Steve O Chap]

Crown Molding... haha. The wooden trim that goes around a room along the top of the wall and the ceiling. I'm putting it in all over the downstairs... 132ft of it. :eek3:

What's up Brandon? I'll be bring the F4i in for new brakes and possibly a new front tire before the trackday. I'm going to try and talk to wifie into letting me get the forks done then as well.

Unfortunately I promised her I'd put up the crown molding asap, and that was about 1 month ago. So, since Sunday is our 1 year anniversary I told her I do it for that.

Yeah, you'll need credit card info, emergency contact info and make sure she puts you in the right group, ahha... you're gonna do B this time right?

I'll be in a meeting from 8:30 am - 4:00 pm!!! :eek3: :crying: And my wifie will be working... so my mom is signing me up, haha.

[arturo3rd]

i want to do B but i only have one track day. i hope im not the one causing traffic with all those racers signing up :eh:

maybe ill stick to class C with the track noobs and practice passing on the outside.

[Moody]

Screw passing on the outside..... especially with noobs.... you will get to know the dirt real good that way.

[arturo3rd]

so should i do B with yall?

[Steve O Chap]

Screw passing on the outside..... especially with noobs.... you will get to know the dirt real good that way.


I agree... I'd do B. You'll get to see faster riders, you'll learn from their lines and you're already doing 2:12's so that's a normal B group pace.

It's going to be a fairly quick group because it's right before a race... but think of it as a learning experience.

I think it's better to be the 'slow' guy around better riders than to be the 'fast' guy around slow riders... besides, I'm not pushing anymore so I'll just be doing 2:08 - 2:10's probably.

[Capafool]

as steve said.. the 29th is right before race weekend so it will be a fast paced group. I dont yet know if I am gonna run A or B group but if you're caught being the slow one around the track they may consider moving you to C. I am saying this because I have seen it happen. If you think you'd feel good in B then go for it, otherwise C would be your bet. just my opinion. :dontknow:

[CarbonJames]

so should i do B with yall?

io think c will be kinda fast on a race weekend

[arturo3rd]

im not that slow or new to fast riding :eh:

how many racers will be at the track day though? the cap is 70 so will there be at least 50 there to overflow B with "racers" like syd :rolleyes:

[SBK Pilot]

im not that slow or new to fast riding* :eh:

how many racers will be at the track day though? the cap is 70 so will there be at least 50 there to overflow B with "racers" like syd :rolleyes:


as long as you don't panic mid corner and can adjust your lines you should be ok...

no matter what you hear... if you're riding in 'b' group on a friday before cmra weekend and your times are > 2:05's you will get stuffed... i fricken guarantee it... the pace is seriously raised...

and you will hear people say a bazillion times, 'just hold your line'... but i can tell you... PLENTY of times out there - if i would have held my line BAMO!...

so you also have to be able to change your line - MID CORNER... if you can do both safely... sure... step on up man...

i'm sure you'll like the faster pace... :eek3dance:

[ufo34]

im not that slow or new to fast riding* :eh:

just like everyone says, hold your lines and don't worry was behind you :icon_thumright:

[OutlawDCustoMs]

i'll be there on the 29th

[arturo3rd]

i hold them well with my lil 636 :icon_thumright:

[Steve O Chap]

i hold them well with my lil 636 :icon_thumright:


Then me and you can tote along at non-racer pace together, hahaha...

[CarbonJames]

i should be up and running by then to make it out

[OutlawDCustoMs]

[OutlawDCustoMs]

Good luck with that one, haha... you're gonna be the slowpoke in A. :cool:

I'll be there in B group as normal...

[arturo3rd]

[Steve O Chap]

I best not be the only B grouper here... Moody, Henry... someone sign up with me!! :eek3:

[Capafool]

A group was already closed for me. :eh: I was at work! so I am gonna run on B for a couple sessions and move my ass up to A. Gotta get ready for that race weekend! :icon_thumright:

[OutlawDCustoMs]

Good luck with that one, haha... you're gonna be the slowpoke in A.* :cool:

how am i gonna be a slowpoke in A? i've past 20 ppl each time i've raced, this is tws, not msr, i've been to this track

[Capafool]

how am i gonna be a slowpoke in A?* i've past 20 ppl each time i've raced, this is tws, not msr, i've been to this track


Syd lonestar is different.. Most people in A are faaaast! I didnt say ALL, but a lot of guys u come across in the CMRA races dont do trackdays, so in a way it cannot be compared to a trackday.

[arturo3rd]

syd thinks he's the fastest amateur. got a sponsor yet?


keke =p

i've ridden in lonestar's A group before a race, and i was probably mid pack, passed as much ppl as experts passed me

[OutlawDCustoMs]

syd thinks he's the fastest amateur. got a sponsor yet?


keke =p


kinda, but it's not a free stuff sponsor, it's like only good prices, but i still don't have the money to throw down

and i'm not the fastest amateur YET

[arturo3rd]

i get free tires and oil now :icon_thumright:

[OutlawDCustoMs]

i get free tires and oil now :icon_thumright:


lol wanna share the free tires and help me out

[arturo3rd]

sure ill sell you my takeoffs :laughing6:

[OutlawDCustoMs]

sure ill sell you my takeoffs :laughing6:


funny haha, except you don't need new tires you're slower than alex* :yeahno:

daym sorry for the low blow hahahahahah

[SBK Pilot]

sorry steve... busy day mang... just finally gettin online... :eh:

i am locked in @ every remaining lstd this year... so see you there... :biggthumpup:

[Capafool]

sure ill sell you my takeoffs :laughing6:


takeoffs?? dude u've only been to a track once. They're probably still brand new!
Mom and dad get u tires now?? :keke:

[arturo3rd]

yes they are brand new. mom and dad? you might have me confused for you since they probaly payed for your college, jeep, and bike* :keke:

shake them haters off. no one said anything about being fast to get sponsored with parts or a team, just being smart about handling business. engineers and tennis geeks cant seem to figure that out :dontknow:

i guess im that scientist that discovered the world in front of me while your trying to figure it out still :laughing6:

[arturo3rd]

sure ill sell you my takeoffs :laughing6:


funny haha, except you don't need new tires you're slower than alex* :yeahno:

daym sorry for the low blow hahahahahah


ill be slower than alex on the street anyday. i never claim to be fast cuz thats how you wreck on the street and track over and over again. who's that remind you of fellas?

syd, i forgot you are so fast that you ran 2:15's your first track day back to the track in three years. this is after you had your "license" and did a few track days on that same track. funny, i ran the same time there the only time i ever went. werent you racing or is being a curb monkey considered the same thing. :eh:

cry me a river, keke =p

[Steve O Chap]

how am i gonna be a slowpoke in A?* i've past 20 ppl each time i've raced, this is tws, not msr, i've been to this track


Nevermind, you'll have no problems keeping up and passing most people in A group.* :notworthy:

Just remember Syd, overconfidence is what can get you in trouble...* :eek3:

[CarbonJames]

yeah, i dont want to have to help you tape that baby back into shape again

[Moody]

Well..... I am going to make an ass comment here but lets see what happens. :tongue5:

I think at this point with Syd and his riding at the track, he is going to need all the confidence in the world. It is the only thing that will get you around the track faster. I guess there is a fine line to walk with confidence and over confidence. :dontknow:

[SBK Pilot]

assssssshhoooooooooooooo!... j/k...* :keke:

syd's hoverin around 00 these days... ran prolly a 57 best at the last track i day @ tws...

2:15's aren't slow for provnov... b/c if you crash - no license... so most peepz don't push it until after they've got their "must race two race weekends without a crash" done...

he can run low 2's all day long... but to get to the next level - i think he's on the right track... hangin w/ty certainly can't hurt...

plus you guys need to remember the guy is racing w/a stock suspension...* :eek3:

confidence is there... patience and a suspension setup are what i think he could benefit from the most...

whereas *I* could probably benefit from... a hacksaw!... so i could saw my 520 lb bitch down!!!... ugh!!!* :cussing:

sorry... sorry... zen happy place... i'm gonna buy an sv in the offseason... gonna buy an sv in the offseason...

sigh...* :eh:

[Moody]

Suspension builds confidence. Of course you can always be confident in your riding and not be an ass... i think that is the ultimate goal. :icon_thumright:

[Steve O Chap]

Syd is quick, I'll give him that. But I think he's trying to accomplish too much in too short of a time. He's got natural talent at riding and he's around some good riders which is going to help out a ton.

I completely agree that confidence is everything... but over-confidence is very detrimental. Suspension isn't the reason he's crashed in 2 of his last 3 trackdays.

[Moody]

Hey Steve, I am going to try and sign up for B so we can ride at the track together. :icon_thumright:

[CarbonJames]

Hey Steve, I am going to try and sign up for B so we can ride at the track together.* :icon_thumright:

Hopefully you'll get there dude... that's a tough spot to break.

<parental mode on> Just don't push too hard... when you start to feel like superman is when you need to start to slow down. After I hit my 2:05 last year I proceeded to crash the next lap because I tried to push for a 2:02 lap. :crying: Unfortunately I didn't heed the advice the more experienced folks were giving me.

good post

[OutlawDCustoMs]

hahahha, i've ridden 5 years ago for maybe 3 trackdays before i picked up a bike in august, and you've been riding how long? on top of it, it was on a 250... and btw i ran 2:08s my first day back on the track, and 2:00 the second time

i don't really have a problem with you guys trying to get better, but guess what if i had an over confidence problem, i woulda wrecked my 2 races i've raced... but wait, i didn't wreck did i?

it took you quite a while to come up with that comeback didn't you... i don't really care, i was just making a goofy ass jesture, and you're going to patronize me with your pos takeoffs? like i said before, i'm confident that i'm quick, and i'm getting quicker everytime i get on the track... i have confidence when i ride, but i know how far i can get with my skill, hence why i havent gone in hot, i've lowsided cause of dirt and water, big whoop everyone goes down.

btw you're forgetting who offered to help you, and now you're trying to talk trash cause you got a sponsor? i don't really care, ya i'm jealous and wish i could get a sponsor like that, but it ain't in the cards for me yet, and hopefully i'll get it someday soon, cause that's the only way i'll be able to get better so i can go on the track more with some funding

is that a apology

[arturo3rd]

oh yeah, dont forget i helped you too (non-motorcyle and motorcycle related)

its just the internet so i knew you didnt mean it.

i thought it was a fuck you ,, but maybe it is an appology

Syd... calm down buddy.

Opinions are like a$$holes... everyone has one and everyones stinks. You don't have to agree with them. Anyone can say what they want and you have the right to disagree.

We know you're quick, we know you're improving and I think we all want you to do well. But from your words you post and say, yes... you are over confident.

Luckily for you, you have good personal instructors and have some natural talent. I wish you the best of luck, but I don't want to see you get hurt... apparently I'm not as fast as you but I've been around riding a bit longer than you and I know I've seen worse than you when it comes to people being overconfident. So just don't try to force your learning curve, it will come with time.

[OutlawDCustoMs]

oh yeah, dont forget i helped you too (non-motorcyle and motorcycle related)

its just the internet so i knew you didnt mean it.


i never denied that you helped me, and i appreciate that... i guess we were both in the wrong, shouldn't have taken you seriously, you're right it's just the e-thug inside us dark ppl haha

[Steve O Chap]

ya, i appreciate the worry, just don't like ppl talkin smack when i'm tryin to work hard to achieve mah shiet


I know... but remember, other people who are new to trackdays don't like hearing how 'slow' they are from the faster people here.

syd, id help you and anyone else anyday...

oh, syd, you have those two pcs of duct tape i gave you, i might need those back.

Lets clear some things up *:keke: ....

1. *Parents HAVENT paid for any of the mentioned above. *I bought my bike with my own hard earned money and everything that ive done to it has been with MY money. *I put myself through school kicking ass and gettin scholarships. *And my jeep was given to me by my aunt since there are only 4 people on my dad's family(I have no brothers/sisters nor cousins).

2. As for the sponsoring I never said anything about having to be fast in order to get one now did I.. NOPE. *:nono: *So I guess the painter has a little reading and understanding *pr pr pro problem. *He says things that were never mentioned. *:laughing6:

3. and you discovered the world in front of you?? *read what you wrote.. it makes no sense!! *you crack me up *:keke: :laughing6: *I think u just discovered how to look like an ass and be wrong about everything you stated above! *lmao.

[CarbonJames]

but if you scratch it, then you have to deal with him on that

[arturo3rd]

dont confuse me with alex. i wont act like this shit talking to me never happened. enough said.

[Moody]

Aurturo,
I only did one C group and went for B. You should do the same because you can pass on the inside and that will let you learn alot and drop your times simply by not having as much of a wait time. You are at the pace for it.... in fact you will be suprised how many people should not be in it.

[Capafool]

dont confuse me with alex. i wont act like this shit talking to me never happened. enough said.


what's alex have to do w/this and who's talkin shit? * :dontknow:

[ufo34]

ill hopefully hit 2:00-2:05 after lunch. ill dedicate one good lap for you :icon_thumright:


Good luck, doing low 2's in C group might not be easy, traffic and lappers can drop your times. why not do B if your in the low 2.08?

ill tell you here. alex or you were talkin shit to each other on sunday and i think you took alex's comments seriously and flipped him off in a turn, or the other way around. then you finally saw why everybody rags on him becasue he parks it in the corners but is shit load fast (or stupid) in the straights.

im not getting wound up but i had to let you know where your place is with me and not to overstep them, im straight. sorry for the misunderstanding.

Yeah.. it was the other way around.* But dont take my word for it.* There were 4 others that were riding so ill let them be the judge of that.* I dont really care to defend myself.* Ill admit I did do it back AFTER he initially did it.* I dunno he did it out of being a joker or serious but there's only so much trash you can talk.* There's a limit to how much you bullshit and its all fun and games but after a while its not and it gets annoying and just not funny anymore... im done.* *

[j14]

lol...I just read how all this happened. You know, my parents buy me everything and I'm probably the slowest most inexperience guy on the track...btw none of this true, except for the ladder. The point is, everybody knows what they are capable of, it doesn't make a difference to anyone if you come in here w/ little comments and being an asshole 'cause you have skills or don't have skills. I read something about your learning curve, I think that's good advise. Why rush into things, take it at your own pace...no need to make things personal and attack fellow riders from whom we benefit w/ advise and friendship...my 2 cents

hey henry i think at the last track day mr moody and i had talked about me helping him with a couple corners...... so you might see me out there in b group as well...... if thats ok :dontknow:

[Pabst214]

also for anyone who cares to read..... in my opinion B group is probably the most dangersous group on the track.... in this sport there tends to be EGO problems. this explains my opinion above. you take a guy he rides in c group his first time feels like he shouldnt be there because this aint cool man i'm in the beginer group i'm no beginer..... blah blah blha but he doesnt have the skill nor mental ability to move up to b, so he does anyway next time. now you take away the instuctors being up your ass the whole 20 minute session put the guy on the bike and tell him to go get it, you now have a guy by no fault of the organization out there on the track trying to prove something to somebody putting other people in danger. i have riding in all groups, if you want to go fast ride in c until you are smooth entering, mid and exiting the corner.. your lines should flow.... everything should come easy you shouldnt feel like you have to work the bike..... then take a B see how you feel. and move into A. if you plan to stay in this sport you better get used to being passed and passed close..... riding in A group is not as SCARY or as big of step as some make it seem. everything flows in that group.... you have fast guys really fast guys, and then some moderatly fast just track day guys..... A group gives you time to focus on your riding and not everyone else's. you can concentrate on being more smooth, picking up entry speed everyting that you need to work on with out worrying about the guy in front of you parking it in the corner, or somebody running you off the track by not holding there line. riding on the track becomes way more fun when its about you and not you worrying about everyone else.


sorry for the post i just was reading some previous and had thought that some people werent sure on what group to be in. i got the impression that people think that A group means you have to be a sub 2 minute guy and that is not right at all..... ride where you feel comfortable but do not be scared or intimmidated to move up.

later

[SBK Pilot]

* hey henry* *i think at the last track day mr moody and i had talked about me helping him with a couple corners...... so* * you might see me out there in b group as well......* if thats ok :dontknow:

you post got me dizzy with all the spaces in between sentences and "...."

[st3ph3n]

you post got me dizzy with all the spaces in between sentences and "...."



Damn, you're right.* :laughing6:

[Patrick]

I think what Brandon is trying to say is this; if you've never been to the track don't be in a huge rush to get out of C group / not take C group at all. After a couple of times in C group and you know the track fairly well, then bump up to B.
That said, once you're in B and you've done the track a couple of time at some speed and can hold your lines because you know where you're going, B don't be afraid to move up to A, just expect to be passed closer there. B group presents challenges because the skill level there is very diverse. Closing speeds entering the corner can sometimes be tricky when the rider in front of you is slamming on the brakes because he doesn't know where he is on the track.
Which is why a rider should stay in C to be able to learn the track, but a lot of riders let their ego negate the learning opportunity that C group provides.
If you're really unsure that the group you are in is right for you, ask one of the LSTD instructors to evaluate how you're riding.

ok good. then your not talking about me. see yuou in group B!

[OutlawDCustoMs]

keke wut up brandon

[Capafool]

to piggy back on what brandon and patrick said.. which is great advice for those thinking they're the shit.* YOURE NOT!* and you dont have to be, there's no need to be, you're not getting a trophy.* I can use myself as an example I guess.* I can run well under two minutes, but ive actually ridden B group more than anything.* Is it cuz im scared to move up? NOPE. Is it cuz im not fast enough and cant hang w/the big boys? NOPE.* I ride B because its the group I feel best at without having to do all that hauling ass you do in A.* I have ridden A various times too and I pass plenty of people in that group, but even though I can and have done it, I still ride B mostly.* I feel like I can work on my lines, braking, form, etc. in this group better than any other.* When I am ready to focus just on speed above all I will certainly ride the A group. just my two cents..* :icon_thumright:

[arturo3rd]

good advice and to those that think you have to be fast and able to hang with the "pros" dont forget its not a race but a track day. i think alot of peple are forgeting that when inputing their .02 cents in this thread :eh:

if it was a race then expect the unexpected and everyones comments would do sound even better :icon_thumright:

actually, if you're too slow, it's insanely dangerous for the fast guys

[Patrick]

Arturo,
I wasn't referring to anyone in particular but I will add this for you;
Yes it's a track day, and the speeds are somewhat off "race pace". But, if you've never ridden TWS before, I'd still take C group to orient yourself with the track. Riding the track is different than the street. The track is designed to challenge / fool you. It's much braoder in a lot of places and the reference points are not as clear as on the street where there is roughly 15' of lane.
One of the most common causes of novice track crashes is becoming "lost" in the corner. Being in the middle of a high speed turn and not knowing where the line is can be not fun / catastrophic.
Some people, very few, can ride a track once and pick up the pace right off, Brandon is one of those people, sometimes it's just amazing to watch him go. He also has the unique ability to immediately input any change we give him about lines, braking points etc., but as I said, he's more of the exception than the rule.
As long as I've been doing this, this is what works for me: Whenever I go to a new track I'll take a couple of laps to get my bearings and then start working on a couple of corners at a time to drop seconds.
Whatever group you decide on, have fun, don't try to pressure yourself to go too fast too soon, and don't try to learn the whole track at one time.

he's been to tws

[Patrick]

Didn't know, that's why i asked. The advice still apllies to most people though.

Patrick

[Steve O Chap]

I like B group... it works for me, I've done like 5 trackdays in B group after 1 in C group. I* generally pass quite a bit more than pass me (MSR was the exception). I run consistent 2:08s so until I upgrade my suspension or tires... until then I'll just stick with B.

[paniro187]

I FOR ONE SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN B GROUP I was a bit hot headed and went in there with the wrong frame of mind. also it's good to listen to the instructors which i didn't do and i think in the end it hurt me. so if it were me again I'd stick with c group and ride it out for a while then move up.

jsut my 2 cents

[OutlawDCustoMs]

i think i should redo my entire racing start, and go run groupC for a while kekek

[FireMalt]

I've been doing trackdays for 3 seasons... and I still ride in C group!!! :tongue5:

[Pabst214]

patrick hit the nail on the head with the point i was trying to make. sorry for the confusion in the post i seem to have a problem when i talk on here. i forget the person is not right in front of me and cant follow the conversation. i'll work on that one. for those of you that enjoy B group, have at it id say 90% of riding out there is being comfortable. just remember that part of going faster though is pushing that comfort zone close the the end. i hope everyone has a great time, ohh yeah and please if you dont know me stop by the motorcycles unlimited trailer and say whats up that friday.... later dudes
brandon

[arturo3rd]

are we allowed to camp out the night before? where is everyone setting up?

[FireMalt]

Yes, you can... I believe the gates to the track are usually open until 10pm the night before, and I believe it's $10 per vehicle to enter.

[arturo3rd]

do they offer most stuff like ridesmart like lap timers, water, t-shirts?

[Pabst214]

we will have lap timers for rent. i only have a few so first come first serve. as far a t shirts they have those and they provide water and gatorade.

[arturo3rd]

whats the price for those lap timers and can i buy one somewhere and have it still pick up times at TWS, MSR, NPR?

is it a special beacon?

[Patrick]

The lap timers rent for $35.00 and sell for $220.00.
They are compatible with all beacons that Ridesmart, LSTD and the CMRA use at all of the tracks.

$35.00 is kinda high, Ridesmart has em for $15.00

But if you rent it from us and want to keep it we credit the rental towards the purchase. :icon_thumright:

yeah, that would work better i suppose, but only the first $35.00 goes towards the purchase correct??

[Patrick]

Yep. Because we're not a track day organizer like Ride Smart we don't have a "guaranteed" number of people renting from us so it's not something we have a good ROI on. We actually started renting them because some of the guys at the track saw we had them for sale and wanted to rent them. It's not something we really pursue.

Patrick

[FireMalt]

LSTD staff will have T-shirts for sale at registration, and free water & gatorade will be in a cooler, outside of the classroom .

[arturo3rd]

what brand of lap timers are they?

so $220 - $35 = $185 for a new one or that same one we used?

It's a Mychron Light TG and it's for the one you rented.

see yall there!


brw, i still didnt get all my stuff done last night.

[Txlonestar]

Ill be coming up early tomarow too. Keep a spot open for me! Im slow "C" being my first time! Laterz! :biggthumpup:

[CarbonJames]

I had a blast Friday,, Carlos and Gianni are fast as hell, scared me when they blew by me in T1, the 636 was totally awesome,, that thing is fast as hell, the tires sucked (continetal contitracs) the tire compound was hard as hell, they kept spinning, it was kinda cool knowing that i was spinning up the rear kinda like backing it in, i almost lost it in the last turn with a highside but kept calm and rode it out, had to let off in the front straight due to tankslappers , that thing needs a steering damper bad,,, but i was kicking ass out there, my back has been sore all weekend long i rode C and B group for two back to back sessions each, that wore me out quick, i was starting to get fatigued, waiting my wrists on the bars so i decided to quit before i crashed out, it was hot as hell but i had lots of fun,,,

nice to meet you finally Steve O, seen alot of improvement with Arturo and Javier, you guys were looking good out there,, got some nice shots of you guys at T10, Gianni, you are so freaking fast. cant wait to go again..

[ufo34]

James I didn't know you can wheelie that high on wheelie hill :icon_thumright:
I was trying to get by you on the straight away but you were fast on the 636, i was by you the whole time.

[CarbonJames]

yeah right,, you scared me when you did come by me,, i was just tuggin on the bars on the hump to get her to come up,,, that was fun,, on the R1 i can just gas it and it comes up much easier.. you were the fast one..

[Capafool]

I had a good time out there... James I think you did well. I stayed behind a little while and watched you and your form looked pretty good. I think now you have to begin to work on your lines and then move on to braking points :icon_thumright: .

[CarbonJames]

i got alot of different lines,, i never stay with the same one

[j14]

man...I just checked out the pics on your site and the pics on fatstrackimages, I got better throughout the day but I need to hang off more...I need advise! lol

the more tracktime you get the better you'll get,, it wouldnt hurt if you were to hang off a little more,,you look pretty good out there,, i think you're faster than me,, try riding with Gianni for a while next time, he has excellent form and he's fast as hell.. he looked good on the R6,,

Thanks man... It was so different since I had never ridden any other bike than my gixxer. I hopped on it and quickly adapted to it. It feels so light. I just need to work on the gearing goin in and comin out of turn cuz its waaay different than my bike. Then ill be all good. I was able to run 2:00 minute times on it... One I get the gearing down I will seriously drop that time some more. :icon_thumright:

if you're cornerworking you wont be needing any extra gas,, just make sure that you fill up right before you get to the track..

[S14]

thanks for the info.

[arturo3rd]

i rode MOST of the day and didnt need any gas. all the times i have gone its the same.

if i ride on the street then i only get 80 miles before my light comes on :yeahno:

hahahaha, dont 636s have a fairly large tank though?

If I do end up riding there is there somewhere I can sleep overnight so that I will have time to take everything off my bike?

the tank isnt big.

dont ride it over there. borrow a truck or find a ride up there. you can camp out the night before at the track for about $15 and prep it there if you dont have time now.

[Moody]

If you plan on racing you should get used to riding with only enough gas in the bike to get you through a session. :dontknow:

[Capafool]

Thats what I do.* By the time I come in in just about every session my gas light turns on. And I refuel right before I go out for my next session. Same thing for races

I'm trying but no one I know has a truck. Honestly. I'm sure something will come through, I wont be missing this oppurtunity.
