    I copy that. Thanks for the response! I’ll throw the cheesy bar end/lever protectors I have on this evening.

    Bar ends?

    I was looking through the rider manual and I couldn’t find any information related to whether or not bikes running In Novice have to have bar ends installed. I probably totally missed it but I’d appreciate knowing for sure if I need to cut my grips and install bar ends for CMP this weekend...

    CMP 10/17

    I’ll take all the coaching and advice anyone is will to give! I’m easy to spot; just look for the dude on the clapped out, stickered up squid machine that use to be a good looking 2010 cbr1000rr!

    CMP 10/17

    Looking forward to my first and only trackday this season. Had a shoulder surgery that put me out of commission until now. Hoping to have a safe, fun, and educational day with the N2 crew! Appreciate all you coaches, riders, guys and gals, that make the track experience so much fun!

    Ride loose? Roger that. With the colder temps would it be a good idea to run slightly lower tire PSI?

    2010 CBR 1k Suspension upgrades

    Very good point. And I totally agree. I definitely need to work on my skills, especially corner entry. I plan on doubling my track time, and tire budget, next season. But I’m sure you’ll agree with my next point; confidence is priceless. The more research I do the more I believe my first step...

    2010 CBR 1k Suspension upgrades

    I’m new to the track. This season was my first and after 3 track day’s I’m thinking about upgrading my suspension. I’m a novice but try to brake as late and hard as my skill level will allow. My current suspension set up seems balanced for my weight; 215lbs with full gear. I had me bike and set...

    LF someone who can weld 848 rear set mounts

    I second the above response! Having access to both sides is essential! From the research I’ve done and what I believe is wrong with the frame/rear set area, I would TIG weld this repair. Any competent weld shop should be about to take care of that repair.

    Total newbie for 2021

    Welcome Todd! Just my 2cents: don’t use a brand new, and expensive, bike as a first track bike. Especially if you’re on a budget. I was like you at the beginning of this season and I’m glad I did not take a brand new bike to the track! Look at your options in the classified section here, on...

    LF someone who can weld 848 rear set mounts

    I’m located in NC. I’ve worked as a welder ever since getting out of the military. That was in 2003! I can TIG, stick,MIG and Oxy fuel weld. I currently have an AC/DC TIG/stick set up in my garage. It’s capable of handling up to 1/2” steel or 1/4 aluminum. I’m not familiar with the repair you...

    Hey everyone!

    I saw your van at NC bike! I’m a noob but really enjoy the N2 environment! Seems the coaches aren’t as aggressive as the coaches I encountered at my first track day at NJMP or maybe I was riding a little better and didn’t need that much coaching! Anyway, like others have said, ask and you shall...

    2010 CBR1000rr race glass?

    Hello! I’m hooked on the track environment! I’m converting my bike to a track only ride and I’m looking for some track fairings. I’m trying to find some used units or slightly thrashed parts that I can get on the cheap. Does anyone have some fairings for a 2010(2008-20011) that they’re looking...

    Tech early?

    I think the bike will be fine. I have changed Nothing on it since passing tech at NJMP last month. I even left the tape on the lights! But I like to over think and complicate things, so I’ll still have someone check it out. Just in case.

    Tech early?

    I’m doing my first track day with N2, and the second track day of my life, this Saturday at NC Bike. I’m planning on setting up a pit/paddock area Friday night. If I get There early enough can I go through tech Friday? Just curious since there will be a track day going on Friday. Thanks

    Best place to stay near NC Bike(Garysburg NC)?

    Thanks Kruizen. I’ll be there around 6pm Friday night. How would I identify you? I mentioned reserving a spot because the NCbike/car Website mentions that spots with power outlet have to be reserved and paid for. I’ll probably just pick up a cheap generator anyway, so a powered spot doesn’t...

    Best place to stay near NC Bike(Garysburg NC)?

    Yeah, I hear ya Arioch! Funny, I never even thought of that. Thanks for putting things into perspective! I haven’t been to a paddock the night before an event to see what’s left overnight. But I sure did see A LOT of set ups and bikes A WHOLE LOT MORE EXPENSIVE than anything I’d like to take to...
