Hi Ray, I remember you from the first day at Pitt. You did fine during those first sessions. This sport is mostly mental and getting your focus properly adjusted goes a long way towards having fun and improving. You're on the very steep part of the learning curve so maintain that good...

Nice! how about a location? Thanks

Also planning on coaching at Pitt in April. Can't wait to get started again...it's been a Loooong winter. RV spot #13, stop by if you get a chance.

Your feet are your foundation. Just like your house will fall down if its foundations fails.....well, you get the picture. My analogy that I tell folks is to picture picking up a golf ball with your bare feet. You know, that hollow spot just behind your toes? You want to feel the very end of...

Spring time bump. Can bring to most of the NE N2 events.

Also, the intro requirements don't meet the Novice requirements. Every Intro rider I've instructed subsequently signed up to ride the rest of the day. In order to do that you need full leathers, full tape job, race type boots, etc. Just my opinion but Intro is like that "free" hit of drugs...

The Ice Water package says glycol free, it does list a form of sodium salt (NaCl) which would lower the freeze point. Typically sodium is not good for Aluminum but perhaps they have a buffer of some sort. It does say it lowers the surface tension of the water and typically this is what makes...

Not that taking the belly fairing off is a big deal, but if it is, you can buy these 1" diameter "pop" plugs from Kurvy Gurl for cheap....

It really depends on just what is suspended underneath the floor location where you want to place the plates. My toyhauler was very restricted with various fuel tanks that I didn't want to drop. I found a heavy duty C section cross beam that was ideally situated. I drilled and tapped the...

Having to join the teamsters, though, could be a drawback........:rofl:

I wouldn't sweat being in novice at a "new to me track". Take the first couple of sessions to learn the track, race lines, follow the coaches...etc. If everything clicks and you're doing well (this is more than just speed), ask a coach for lead/follow. We work hard to sort out the groups for...

If you're serious about this activity why not prep your bike as per the advanced rules? If and when you get the A bump you're ready to take immediate advantage. Sure beats having to wait a session or a whole day in order to get things turned around. Safety wiring a bike in the paddock is a...

US 58??? I didn't know there was such a thing.

Been doing some of the same stuff except up in northern PA. Need to get some better tires for my Tenere 7. Sullivan falls trail, the Nordmont road, forest roads all through the Loyalsock forest. Think I'm going to stop while rifle season comes into effect....too many Philadelphia hunters in...

My theory is a track bike will get more high rev's for the same mileage than a street bike. So I halved the mileage for things like valve clearance checks and even did compression checks every winter on the track bikes. After years of doing this I have never encountered an issue with my...
