    New from West Virginia

    That's weird as Sh*t John.... I was just telling someone about how you were my first track crack mentor at JC a few years ago. I was all freaked out for first TD and first Crotch Rocket ride. I just connected with Ty on his YouTube vid page too. Look forward to riding under you once...

    Pitt Race roll call

    Just bought into both days............ Be there Friday night, and River (my dog) too. Getting the cr*shed GSXR patched up for another try. First time on pavement since last FALL at Summit Main. It should be EXCITING to say the least.

    Trail Braking...Should I be Doing it?

    From a Novice's Perspective Hello JRA, I am sure a lot of new guys will read this thread. So, I wanted to throw in my two cents, for what it's worth. I'm an old guy at 50 with 4 decades of dirt riding who converted 7 track days ago to .... well.... track riding. In the dirt, the front brake...

    I have a Retarder Gizmo also. One of those in line units, cannot remember the name, and it works all the time by tricking the computer into think the bike is in 5th gear. It will matter little what temp it is operating at. Pete

On the race track, the bike needs and uses the pump's full flow. Worth a check. I needed to replace the pump on...

    Anyone w/ Photo/Vids of Ducati Pete Hitting the Dirt SUmmit Monday??

    Hi All, I hit the dirt in session 5 Monday. I moved to the Novice group to get more open track........ which worked a little too well............ :wow: I doubt anyone has vids as I think I was riding alone. It was late in the session. SOMEBODY must have SOMETHING I can show my nieces and...
