Why don't you spend some cash to attend the Keith Code Superbike School?
can't afford it. $2050-2250 for a 2 day camp. ouch!

i have some other choices though but still need lots more money to make it happen.

for the 2 day camp price i could get...

1. a different track school.
2. pilot powers tires
3. race bodywork OR suspension upgrade
4. slip on exhaust (stock pipes doesn't fit race bodywork, plus i get a new pipe. :D) OR shocks upgrade

I can only say that I am heavy and my weight can and has changed 30 lbs in one season. The lighter I am the better I feel in the saddle. The weight seems to make a bigger difference than I thought I never noticed it until last year when I got serious and lost 90 pounds, I have gained back some 40 in 16 months and I don't like it. I must get back down riding is so much more fun at lower weights I must admit.
there aint nothin like it
