Who was Dax Shepard riding with at Sonoma when he crashed? Z2? And who has some good GoPro footage? What group was he in? Did he take anyone out with him? What corner? Thanks.

I really didn't see this one coming. Maybe I should have? I haven't been riding Thunderhill East much lately so maybe I was unaware that certain parts of the track have less grip than others. Maybe I just asked too much of the front tire. I definitely ran out of talent. The bike is "track...

I really want to try Thunderhill West backwards with keigwins in late July, but it's just going to be too damn hot. The forecast right now is for a high of 110°. In a perfect world, we would be on track at 7 a.m. and we would do four sessions before lunch. I'm sure that's not possible, but...

2017 trackdays are just around the corner. What are you guys and gals doing in anticipation for another fun year at the track? I just ordered some new gearing and brake pads from Vortex for the trusty CBR1000RR. Also installed a new air filter yesterday. Hoping the weather calms down a...

Remember when the most track worthy BMW was an opposed twin? You 'member. Remember when Pariot was developing this bike? Definitely a cool piece of history.

I was reading a very positive review of Rickdiculous racing and thought "that might me fun". Then I went to their website and realized that my pockets don't run that deep. Not even close. To quote from Pulp Fiction "ain't the same fucking ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the...

I only rode on the 5th, but I was really tired today. 30 minute sessions and some warm weather left me gassed. Anyone else impressed by the rider of the red R3? He was pulling me in the corners. How about the Kawa H2R? I was hoping to see one someday, but I didn't expect to see one so...

I recently bought a 2012 CBR1000rr and I've been reading about how the U.S. models are crippled by Honda to reduce power above 10,600 rpm. The nice thing is that Bazzaz makes a cool product called the Z-bomb that eliminates the timing retard that reduces power. As I will be turning my new...

It's a new year, a new bike, and so that means a new Qstarz mount. [/URL] [/URL] The plastic part was made at my buddy's machine shop, the metal part was a cool Qstarz mount I found on eBay. [/URL] [/URL]

I miss the track and don't want to show up at the track in March feeling like a turd, so this is my way of staying sharp. What do you do during the winter? Street rides? Indoor carting? Mountain biking? http://youtu.be/L-jVObVX_mk Track riding looks super easy after watching that video...

Had a fantastic time riding the 5 mile track with Keigwins on Tuesday. I was so tired on Wednesday it's not even funny. Everything hurt. Thirty minute sessions really helped with learning the new track, but also beat me up physically. I was running my Qstarz GPS lap timer and got some...

Is it possible to hold it WFO thru the finish line at T-hill on a built FP bike and still make T1? In other words, if the top FP guys were battling for the win, and they were side by side, could they keep it WFO thru the checkered section on the track and still make T1? Is the finish actually...

Anyone else notice them replacing the cat piss with water? I had a feeling that professional athletes wouldn't put that crap in their bodies. I wonder how common that is. I'll bet it's the norm rather than the exception. If you're a 19 year old and drink that tard nectar.... sorry.

Rode at Laguna yesterday with KATT and it was just an amazing day. Left the triple digit temps of Sacramento to enjoy the 70-80 degrees of Laguna Seca. There was a slight breeze during the middle of the day but I would never call it "windy". Despite a few crashers, my run group didn't lose a...

SOLD. The bike is complete, my brother might even have the owners manual. The bike has a brand new chain, but no battery. The bike could be restored to ridable condition but it would need a battery, rear tire, and most importantly a serious carb overhaul. The carb overhaul is not as...

So Joey Pascarella was at RPM (indoor kart racing) Monday running the full course. Evidently he has kart skills as well. He almost had the fast time of the day. :p

As of right now, Sunday, February 12th, 2012 is gone! Sorry everyone, but thanks for your interest.

This is the new US version of the 195/65/17 Dunlop slick that I love so much. It's about $70 less than the UK version. I'll be trying it out Monday at Infineon. I'll post up a report shortly thereafter.

I've run both the big Dunlop 195/65 and the new Pirelli 200/60 slicks, and I like them both. Anyone else make big, tall slicks? I'm looking for something with similar dimensions to these two tires (which are pretty similar to each other). And is the Pirelli SC2 slick really only meant for...

In a 7th annual backwards trackday? The day/date would be Tuesday, October 11th. I've got to get my deposit in before the end of the month. Last year I said "I may not do this again next year... I hate losing my ass." T-Hill management said "What if we can promise you that you won't lose...
