Agee...it seems it's time to turn the page on it and as it turns out, that'll happen. I'm retiring my trusty 2010 R6. Got her as a little baby R6 and she really can't do any better than she did in her last season. She'll wear the #15 and her earned #6 plate (1st overall points in club) in perpetuity...and her super short, super weird wheelbase! My 17' already has a standard wheelbase, which I liked when I rode him.

I'm saving this page for being a great read. Also decided to never ride another SV on the track. I feel safer on a 1000

Thanks for sharing that Ernie.
You just vocalized my current experience.
I was truly bummed I took myself out on the Carter's 5 mile on Sunday and missed the school on Monday . I was looking forward to working with an instructor on that section and T-3.

Add another one to the T14 group. Second session on Saturday for the last round of AFM, I lost the front and went for a slide on the very first lap. I was taking it easy (real easy relative to everyone else, considering my best is only a 2:08 on a 450) and going maybe 80%. I was almost at the apex and just off trail braking when the front let go. I didn't sense any warning slide or anything. I will say though, about 1/2 way to the apex from turn in point, I did think that I felt a bump but then it smoothed out before where I lost the front.

One thing I am learning from this thread though is I need to be better about braking later and carrying that trail all the way to apex. :) Next year.
