Yeah my son is a pretty good kid, of course he had to have my wife help him out with this since he's only 7 but it's the thought that counted.

that thing is cool

  For a kid that age...hell yeah it's the thought that counts, that's awesome
Nice lookin 954 BTW....damn things make me drool

Here is a slightly better photo than the contact sheet. Yeah it's a blast to ride all the handling of a 600 with big bike HP and torque. Wish they had continued the 954 when they went to the 1000. It's the last true fireblade since the 1000 was engineered by a different designer when Tadeo Baba retired. The 1k doesn't handle nearly as sweet as the 954.

that is cool, congrats dad.

bike looks good but you're riding it like a newb haha

not that i'm not jealous...we don't have race tracks around here...

What do you mean like a newb?

Come on up to Oklahoma anytime if you think you can show me how it's done.

I think he's pointing out that you're crossed-up.  In the pics, it looks like you're scooting off and leaning your lower body out, but not your upper body.  Your upper body should be leaned further into the turn, rather than being upright or slightly counter-leaning.  The outside arm should be straighter and the inside arm should be bent more, since you're leaning your upper body into the turn.

And your head should look like you're peering around a corner, looking far into the turn.



But, what do I know...  I ride a cruiser.   



Kickass Dad's Day gift, BTW.

Yeah the overhead bucket truck shots sucked everytime he was shooting in 10 there was a damn yellow flag.

Damn Yellow Flags!    You just looked crossed-up in all the pics...     I wasn't there, so I can't say you're riding "like a newb."

yeah it's the posture.  you're not using your weight with the bike...and it looks like you're wrestling her around.  You look like you're working hard but the bike's lean and setup looks like it's just putting around.

But what do I know...my heads touch the ground before my knees...

See theres your problem you keep falling over. No I am not that fast the race group guys run about 20 seconds a lap faster than I do across a 1.8 mile course. My lap times were consistent 1:45's. And I wasn't fighting the bike, at least not the last 2 sessions my first session was horrible. 1 too many redbulls for breakfast. I never relaxed and got comfortable that session.

HAHAAHAA redbull!!!!!!!!!  I had like 20 once.......I was awake for 3 days and couldn't eat anything without puking

I don't fall over.  My heads stick out further than my knees.

what track was this?

LOL must be nice to be thin and flexible. I am getting very stiff as I age.

Hallett

The beauty of living in Tulsa is being 45 minutes away from a very nice local track that runs it's own laping day events. A novice group is 110 bucks then the street and race groups are only 100 bucks. First timers do have to ride in novice and attend the riders school which runs an additional $20.

yeah I really wish there was something like that near here...what can ya do?  I'd love to take my 30 year old CX out...
