Here's to all in the AFM. I sent this message to Gary J and figured it said pretty much what I wanted to say. I have enjoyed every second of my experience with all of you. Hey Gary, I'm going to have to withdraw my invitation. I'm going to post on the boards my retirement at least for now...

I've been running regular 20/50 in my cbr600rr. I figured I change it every 3-4 days so why put in synthetic. But I see trak ho says 99% of racers use synth. Why and do you change it for every race? What are the benefits. Saving the motor. more hp thru less friction? please enlighten me...

I see alot of posts about quickshifters lately. Would someone mind explaining the benefits of same . At what point in racer development is it a good tyime to consider. This from a first year novice 1:51 at infineon on a cbr 600rr. Thanks in advance

Another advice fishing expedition. This of course only pertains to those of you who are riding the 600rr I think. I had been going with 1down and stock rear or 15 /43 and after talking to others was told going up in the rear was beneficial. I put on a 46 rear sprocket and have done about four...

I'd like to try and do the endurance race in august at sears. I'm a novice first year type and ran 1:51's at the last race may 1st. I'm sure I can drop a few seconds at sears between now and august as i have several days and another race weekend in between. I'll consider using my bike which is...

Man, I stopped in at Marin cycleworks and checked out the new gixxer 1k.. I'm in major lust.. The thing just feels so compact and light. I cant imagine it having 50 more hp than my 600 and being lighter.. I have a 600rr I've been riding at the track for tthe last year and a Bmw r1150rt. The...

I just f@#$%^&*() realized I loaned my beater truck out and it has my bag with transmitter and some spares in it.. The only thing i am worried about is that it had my spare kneepucks in it. I don't think I'm going to make it four days without a hole in my leathers. This is my first race...
