Hello guys and gals,
My name's Mike, I'm from southern Va. and I'm really looking foward to starting trackdays with Nesba and getting to know some of you. I've been street riding since 2003 and LOVE anything to do with motorcycles or riding. I've long had the love for motorcycle racing and have been wanting to start hitting the track for trackdays to continue to improve my skills and have fun with this wonderful sport I've become addicted to. For the past couple of years I've been riding more aggressively on the street and love to get out and hit the corners on a curvy mountain road every chance I get. I know the street is not the place for this nor do I want to continue riding in this manner on the street, thus my reason for joining you fine folks here at Nesba. I already have all the gear I need and my bike's in good condition but, I do have a question if any of you can help me. My bike is currently lowered about 1.5-2 inches due to me being vertically challenged at 5'3". My main reason for this is for a more comfortable footing on the street. Will I be able to pass Tech inspection, specifically for V.I.R with my bike lowered? I know the main concern with this is handling and ground clearance at lean. I'm not trying to sound like a squid/bad boy but, I have had the bike leaned quite a bit with no problems scraping or handling, no chicken strips if that helps. I just want to give as clear indication as to how the bike is in this setup and to see what you guys think as far as the bike being able to pass tech. I have no problem raising it back up for the track but, I do prefer this setup for the street. Thanks for any help in advance and I look foward to hopefully meeting some of you soon!
