    Nope but I've definitely thought about it... Kinda left that out of my previous post. The bike is equipped with the stock Honda HESD -- I've heard people on both sides the stock unit. Some say it works just fine for track use and some say it's completely and totally inadequate. Listening to the...

    Yep that's me, interesting to see how fast my little oh shit moment is traveling around the internet :p Tires are D209GPAs at 33F/23R HOT off the warmers per Dunlop's suggestion. Suspension baseline setup was done by Ken Hall at Superbike Italia and tweaked by Ducati Omaha. The keychain is the...

    Thanks for the info everyone. It sounds like the 211s like to be run ~21/31 off the warmers instead of 23/33 like dunlop recommends. I didn't make it to the track at the beginning of this month but will be going Aug21 to the same track I ran these at earlier. Weather conditions should be...

    Rumor of new track

    The only country club type track I've been to is Autobahn. When we were having a trackday there on the north course the south course was open for members to use. Throughout the day people would roll in and run on the track. Sounds like basically they can come play whenever they want to...

    Slowpoke -- the D211GPA is available in either a soft or medium front, and soft/med or med/hard rear. I went with a medium front and the med/hard rear. Regarding stability... I'm more concerned about the wear on the front than stability at this point. I've come to the conclusion that my...

    Another tire wear thread... D211GPA

    Wouldn't that take weight OFF the front and make straight line stability _worse_? What I am envisioning is lower the steer tube of the bike by raising the fork tubes in the triples, which would bring more weight to the front of the bike. Unless I'm mistaken :confused: My next trackday will be...

    Haha, that's what I'm basing my guesses off of. It's a great video but it really is tough to tell what's happening to the tire without seeing it in person... which makes this thread all the more hilarious. I've got another day coming up next weekend, I'll try dropping pressures down a little...

    How much would you spend on your street bike before considering a track bike?

    If you're looking at that kind of money to upgrade your VFR I will echo everyone else in here and say spend (part of) it on a dedicated trackbike! You can get a well set up bike just a few years old for less than that. I've stuck a fair amount of money getting my streetbike prepped for the...

    None. This is why I'm confused, I've never seen any wear like that on the front before. HighWay and sobottka -- I'll try dropping the pressures a little bit but honestly this looks more like a hot tear than a cold tear to me. I'm kind of a newb at reading tires but don't cold tears generally...

    Another tire wear thread... D211GPA

    I did a little more research and someone PLEASE correct me if this is wrong... but it seems like this wear was caused by too little weight on the front of the bike? Seems very plausible. I had some serious straightline instability a few weeks ago at MAM. Interestingly enough this wear did not...

    Another tire wear thread... D211GPA

    Front right side doesn't look so hot :( Front left side looks ok. What's up with the wear on the right side? This was at a very clockwise oriented track so more wear on the right is not surprising at all but the wear on the front *does* surprise me. I've not had that happen to a set of...
