That recommendation from MCN is bogus. There is no universal rule that can be applied to all tires from every manufacturer. You should talk to someone who has worked with Bridgestones before, and specifically BT016s. The tire vendor at the track would probably be glad to give you some advice on...

Yep, I will ship them for that.

New Dunlop Q2 120/180 Set - $200 OBO Front: 120/70/17 (Date Code: 2111) Rear: 180/55/17 (Date Code: 2511) I got these last year as part of the free tire program but haven't had a use for them. They've been stored in my insulated/heated garage right along side all of my race tires.

Doing better than some of us.

Yah, it will, there is just a time lag where from it detecting the load and responding to it. For high in-rush devices (like an A/C's compressor) it can be a problem, but for a simple resistive load like a tire baker, I don't get how it could matter in the slightest.

Hmm, I'd believe that non-inverted generators could hurt the warmers because you could get an over-voltage situation causing the warmers to getting hotter than they were intended. But your eco throttle generator is inverted, so the line voltage should be better regulated. The only problem with...

You make racing sound so appealing.. :p

Whether you like it or not, there are people who depended on NESBA that have been hung out to dry by the closing of the MW. You can distance yourself and NESBA from that, but anybody with two cents of common sense knows that folks like Turn One Racing and Trackday Store were depending on NESBAs...

Haha, but it's one of my favorite quotes! Just a fancy way to say that I don't think Bob Blandford and company are evil; I just think they can't be bothered to care about us. I'm not mad at NESBA, just disappointed, like when a friend stops calling or when my favorite restaurant goes out of...

Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.

Hook me up! There is no good info out there on how to setup the TC map. I have a map that I settled on based on reading a lot of bullshit online, applying my own common sense, and fiddling with it at the track, so I'm sure I could learn a lot from yours.

I don't know maybe that is related to the NESBA MW's difficulties..

Sadly, that is the sort of classy handling of a situation that I have come to expect from corporate NESBA. Sorry to see NESBA MW go, but I suppose it was a bit inevitable that the Northeast Sportbike Association would abandon us in tough times.

That begs the question of how these tracks can be booked solid for the entire year? If it was such a raw deal for the hosting organization, then these tracks wouldn't be able to rent the track to anybody because who would want to rent it. And, if anything most of the competition charge more for...

Number of axles don't matter, it's all about weight. Depending on your state, you may be able to run afoul of the law with a single axle (3500# per axle is typical). Some states require trailer brakes for trailers weighing as little as 1000#. Most states say 3000#, so I don't think any trailer...

Your SV is fine, as long as you can keep the muffler attached.. :haha:

Except you can deduct new vehicle taxes on your federal taxes, so then you really only get abused when buying used.. pretty sure it's an incentive scam put in place by Big Auto to get you to buy new.

Looks like Cycle Options lost their two weekends and they gave them to NESBA. No offense to the folks behind the CO events, because I respect anyone who is willing to rent out a track for me to use, but I'd rather they be NESBA events them CO events, so it's all good with me.

I have their full-race system for my 600RR. For my bike, they just take a stock header and cut the cat off and weld in a mid-pipe. Muffler is a similar hack of the stock one -- cut open and repack. A lot cheaper than the alternatives. They were nice enough to weld in an O2 bung for me as well...

http://www.orisonmarketing.com/msds/MSDS%20IceClearHD.pdf That's old-fashioned glycerin anti-freeze. That stuff is 50-65% glycerin, and glycerin is slippery stuff -- it's used in personal lubricants. I'm not in charge here, but my vote would be no. The same rationale for why glycol-based...
