    NESBA - Operation Bone Stock?

    Hey DJ, I have never had a race license. I think that qualifies me for an novice. Give me a loaner bike and I'll race it.

    6x10 enclosed trailer 1200.00

    1997 6x10 enclosed trailer. The actual frame and such is very nice but the exterior is not the best. The last owner stored it for 5 years with a roof leak. I gutted the trailer and it is nice inside now. 2x6 wood floor, 6' interior height. Aluminum rear cargo door and 2 side generator doors. If...

    June 25-26 Dragon

    I have made many pilgrimages to the dragon. The last one got me on speed channel and 2 very expensive tickets in 24 hours. The locals law enforcement does not like you and does not want you coming down no matter how good the tourism is good for the county. They will show you what hillbilly...

    Need suggestion for 1st-time boot purchase

    Sidi vorteches, replaceable soles, extremely comfortable. Only downside is you will never be able to wear another motorcycle boot ever. I hope they never stop making them.

    I'm going to try trailbraking....

    I love trail braking. I was fortunate enough to attend FastFreddieSpencer school to learn this technique. We were shown MANY drills to work on the technique. The beauty of all the drills is they can be performed in a parking lot. The negative of self teaching yourself how to trail brake at the...

    Tear Off's

    I use tear offs on my arias BUT, I cut the tear off tab off and use a little clear tape in the corners to make sure they don't un-attach themselves. I replace the tear offs a couple times a year and my face shields NEVER because they are always nice and scratch free because I clean the tear offs...

    The search for I group status

    I can assure you, I never looked at a lap timer before, during or after an evaluation to determine a bump. It is all about smooth, predictable and being able to hit your apexes consistently.

I have been planning on donating it to Barber Museum next time I make it to Barber. thought it would be good on one of their vintage restorations. Let...

    I am finally about to remove the 211 front that I have ran for 18 track days, still has wear dots and looks half new but im afraid it has to be heat cycled out by now, the rear lasted quite awhile but gave up the ghost long ago on my r1, I did 16 track days on the r1 and the front has been on my...

    Flippin Tires

    the one thing everyone is forgetting here is if you flip a tire the side that normally has less wear is the side that is now going to have thin rubber on it and hence will not retain heat. So when you go into the left handers at BHF or Putnam you may be surprised to find you have cold tires and...

    04-06 R1 race parts

    there is, Factory Pro built their stacks to perform better in the mid-range which was the weakness on this more. You spend more time coming off corners in mid-range than you do peaked out on long straights. These stacks also helped clean up the HP and Torque drop at 6k. I was very happy with them.

    Converting to a Total Loss System...

    Lithium batteries require a slow charge rate. they hate to be overheated, overcharged, both products of quick charging them. I could look up the charge rate but i,m too lazy. It is basically a trickle charge though and any manufacturer that suggests anything faster other than when completely...

    Converting to a Total Loss System...

    Also, a normal battery will provide up to 5 minutes of cranking time (which you should never do), an A123 pack will only provide 2 minutes so their max storage capacity is lower.

    Converting to a Total Loss System...

    The a123 cells will do much worse in a total loss system, They can not be used in that application. AT ALL They go flat quicker even though they will maintain a higher voltage longer, once they go they go fast. And they CANT be quickly recharged so sitting between sessions trying to recharge...
