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...



Wow!   

I'm hoping to get out to Grattan or Gingerman soon, probably won't be riding like that for awhile though!!
