yes it is expensive... he's using pirelli dragon super corsas.

and if he was riding at the pace of the advance group... those tires probably won't even be good enough for a 2nd trackday unless maybe if they use tire warmers to avoid heat cycles.


oh and there was a woman on a blast yesterday.

she's not fast but i applaud her for being at the tracks.

i told my other buddy who didn't attend but just came along since he said he wan't get a gixxer750 before he attends trackdays... he has a bandit 600 and he's a better rider than me. i told him about the lady in the blast and he looked like he had a revelation.

What kind of a revelation?

that he doesn't need to wait for his gixxer750 before he attends a trackday.

well, that's just what it looks like to me.

my bike is canyon legal again.

went to my mechanic to have my tires checked out and have him make a custom front mount for my cam. he said he'll probably have the mount ready by friday.


he told me to sit on the bike as if i was riding... then i got some corrections.

he said im sitting way too far on the seat. he said the only time i should be doing that is if im going on straights.

there was also another guy there on his shop and he was also coaching me.

they said when in turns... i should sit very close to the tank. they said im working against the bike if im turning and seating away from the tank. they also said this will help prevent rear wheel slides.

he said to be careful since this will make the bike turn easily and sharper, so don't let go of the gas and i'll notice i'll be staying at a higher rpm and going much faster in the turns.

and of course... he told me not to apply this on city streets intersections. LOL!


very cool indeed. im gettig my bike fixed and my skills fixed as well.


i should try it this weekend.


also, i was flaterred since both of them were praising me. they said im doing really good for somebody who is new to riding.

they said to apply what they taught me today and i'll be better at cornering.

i just said it in advance since i know someone is going to ask about it.


im just concerned on using all of my tires and im very close to it...

Why do you only ever post photos of the left side of your tyre?
