Heavy guy on a heavy bike doesn't help We'll see what happens when I get the rear shock back from Stig tomorrow.



5-6 trackdays....at WSIR??? I've seen some guys running in the mid 1:20's get almost a full day but not much more. Even one of the guys I usually go out there with (fastest was 1:25) kills the rear when he's running fast. He usually "slows" down to the low 1:30's to save his rear tire...even then it doesn't give him much more than a day. I should mention that with MTC we go out with every session

Looking forward to the 7th. I haven't ridden the big track in a long time. Best memory is when you think you are going fast in turn 8 and someone who IS going fast blows by..........Then the pucker factor in turn 9!

So who all is going to this? I am thinking about going, just wondering if any more are going other than the ones who posted up already.

No, you got it wrong, it was the other way around. Mojave was on the receiving end of that deal.

Not to hear him tell it he wasn't!!!

Anyway, back on topic, I would love to be able to go, but I doubt the R6 will be ready by then.
