Ok...! that was an executive decision that was made at the moment, due to no confidence with suspension set up. Rather than take the corner I thought it would be best to stay in one piece and try another day, with better tires and more relaxed track time. Remember I had issues all day with bike not of my own account.

I'm always scared. But I haven't been on a track in about 10 yrs, and back then I was terrorfied. Plus I kept blowing turn 5 at Road America.

Let me clarify my statement above, I am not sacred to do it on the track, most of the time while on the track am scaring myself each lap, by pushing myself to the next level....(Faster,deeper into the corner etc)... Now I hope this clarifies what I meant .......

Well after tearing bike down today

, I found out that a 20.00 part cost me a complete track day and this particular trackday I wanted to shine for personal reason's. I found the hose that feeds back into the radiator had a hole in it.

My overflow bottle is completely full. So I could only deduce that there wasn't enough vacuum with the hole to recycle the fluid.....Anyway God does things for a reason and I am glad I did not push it just to ride because it could have completely failed and not only me but any other rider behind me could have went down and you know what that means big bucks for repairs, even if you are a do-it-yourself kinda mechanic...have a great day....
