Microphone was in the tank bag with the camcorder and wires. There isn't any wind noise, which is what I try to avoid. It was a little loud on the tape, but that is what volume controls are for on speakers ;)

I used to race WERA endurance in the mid 80's on a RZ350. My brother Jon was on my team, he hadn't been on a track for over 15 years, this was his first time back at Grattan since 1988.

I have slowed down a lot since my racing days, but my son keeps getting faster. I have to work really hard to lap faster than him now. I was dragging the exhaust collector, the belly pan and the muffler as it was. (The Jardine exhaust doesn't have enough clearance, time to put the Yosh back on.) In a few more track days I expect him to start laying down some times I can't match, but either way, it sure is fun riding with him. Time to put another big bore motor into the track bike.

I have not used the 570 kit. The cases have to be machined for it to fit, as it was resleeved. If I could get enough for it to buy the Wiseco Kawasaki piston kit, I would sell it.

I would buy your bike if I had the cash. I have about $3,000 into my track GS including purchase price. GSXR 750 front end was the biggest upgrade (and best) but your bike looks great.

Just curious since I have several motors with split cases. But I cannot justify the cost at this time.
Sweet video, pictures too. I really liked this one...
