    Free Take Offs

    All Pirelli The rears are 180/60s in SC1 & SC0 1 set of DOTs and the rear is a 160. None were used for more than 3 races, most less, all on SVs. All have life, some have a ton of life. The rub: 1) They're from the 2017 season and have been sitting in a trailer since. Likely have heat...

    Alpinestars SuperTech Gloves Large Blk/Wht

    I wore these gloves for half of a practice session (2-3 laps). They were too small, I'm switching to XL. For gloves, these run small. These are 1/2-1 size smaller than other brands and older astar gloves. Revzilla has a pretty good video describing the gloves' features...

    D.I.Y.S. Fork spring change? help! please.

    I took the Doc Wong clinics and know how to set everything up "correctly" but till now I didn't really go through the proper steps to make the sag perfect. I measured it once (all I could get out of my two female assistants before they got bored) and from that found that there was way to much...

    I've been thinkin lately.. I've matured in my riding (maybe not my posts) and maybe I should have a less pessimistic user name? Feel free to chime in, if you care.

    CHP let me down.

    Today on the way to Sears Point I was lane splitting on 880. About 5 cars up I see this white car in the fast lane start hugging the right side almost on the rumble strips. 9 times out of 10 its an idiot reaching for a CD but once I got closer this bitch had the tell-tale signs of tryin to cut...

    corsa lookin kinda funny.

    This seems kinda wierd to me. The pics suck but you can see metal. On the left side its worn down to the threads in one spot all the way around the tire and I've only had it for about a month and a half. I thought tires always wear in the middle first. Anyway at least it's Gary J certified...

    Good back protector to buy?

    I want to buy a good back protector. First I was lookin at the Bohn ones but I saw one in person and they look really thin. What do all the Racers use? It seems like they are hiding a small animal on their back beneath their leathers so it has to be something pretty heavy duty. Any...

    clicking noise from triple

    Here's the deal: After getting my bike back from HoM (to replace the recalled bearings and stem) I heard a clicking noise coming from the triple clamp. I took off the damper and sure enough, they forgot to tighten down the headnut. It's been about 3 or 4 months now and i started to hear the...

    Tire pressure HOT (not cold)

    What's the ideal pressure when the tires are hot? I know when you go to the track you lower the pressure cuz the tires produce more heat but it doesn't seem very exacting in how much you should take out. I have tire warmers so i can heat um up and check the temp, then make the right cold tire...

    sliding in the rain

    I'm a poor man who hasn't been able to afford everything needed for track days... so instead I try to practice (in a safe manor) stuff on the street whenever possible. I blip the throttle while braking hard, hang off on freeway carousels and recently started to try backing out my rear end in...

    All you 02 954 owners

    I don't know how many of you know this but honda recalled the stem and barrings in the tripple for their 02 954. I've had a bunch of major head shake along with an unrecoverable tank slapper which I just attached to being a newb, but that wasn't the case. Anybody that gets on the gas knows...
