I picked up one of these and I've been training. Lost about 17lbs so far. Going to race it in March and April before I start the Moto season in May.
Training in 20 degree weather at Central Park.
In March I will probably paint the old ZX7R. I cleaned the air filter and painted...
I was there that day. I was in the red leathers on the Blue ZX7R. You passed me in your 5th or 6th vid I think around the 20 minute mark. You boyz were moving!
I learned so much from following you faster guys that day that it took my riding to higher level. I was probably running 1:42s...

I sent my forks down for internals and the guy was running an Ohlins special so I opted for those. The bike works so much better and I was 4 seconds a lap faster first time out. Confidence is key.
Not trying to thread jack, I've got to try the salt sticks.
A couple of weeks ago I rode 6 straight days for a total of about 650 miles and used this stuff:
It's got protein as well to help with muscle breakdown and soreness. It just flat out works! Endurox is about twice the potency of...
