yet another trackday...4.26.05 at big willow

[pantablo]

Yes, its only been 8 days and already another one...like I said, I am an addict. Next one wont be till a month from now though...

Pilot Power tires are phenomenal.

Here I am at T3


Here I am at T4


This track is fast. I was entering T8 at 145mph repeatedly. I was getting my knee down at 135 on T8 too. I wore through one knee puck, flipped it over and wore it down again... T2 is a really long sweeper. You must be in it for 5-8 seconds, all with your knee down at 100+mph...ah, I love speed.

Gotta love dragging a knee at those speeds.  

I must hang off the right side less since I keep wearing a hole in my leathers right behind the puck.  :mrgreen:

I plan on fitting Powers on my TLR very soon. I was going with M1's but I would have to change slickers.

[pantablo]

I ran M-1's before I had the Diablos. The Diablos are far better than the M-1's and the Powers are even THAT much better than Diablos. I am shocked at the level of grip from street tires they provide.

You guys ain't nuthin' but freakin' crazy!!  :lol:  At least you use 'em for what they were built for. To all you nuts who drag knee... . Love the Baby GS, Argentina (had a big dispute w/UK over Falklands), and this forum.

Yeah, those track days look like fun.  I bet you didn't even bother taking the race plastics off your CBR last time.  

Big pimpin'

Thats gotta be a blast, someday Im going to do that.  I think Im pretty good when I drag a peg at 40 but at 100 thats just got to be insane, I want to do it.

actually no, I didn't do anything to the bike. :mrgreen: Too much hassle to remove and replace the upper fairing and headlight. The side fairing sI actually just leave on all the time and the tail comes on/off easily and since it doesnt have a taillight I have to replace it for the street soon.

Tires now have 400 miles on them, almost all on track. They look good still too.

I have since also gotten a tank cover for the bike (fuel tank is plastic cover, not metal). to complete my "race/track plastics" set. $5 on ebay, with a big crack in it, same as the tail.
