If you are looking for criticism, you came to the right place. Get your hand off the clutch unless you are shifting. Down shift as you come to a light or turn, don't pull in the clutch and coast/brake. You need to be engaged so you can throttle brake or accelerate quickly to avoid an asshat. Jesus, give it some gas as you take off. It's a sportbike it can take HUGE rpm's. Stop doing wheelies. Start doing your corners correctly. Outside to inside to outside. I know they are not big corners and you are not flying but you need to develop the habit so it just happens. Not full outside to inside on the street...more like the middle half of the lane. So on a right hander get in the left tire track as you approach...then slide to the right tire track as you go through the curve and then slight back to the left one as you exit. And the big one, you need to look around more. I saw several lights where you took off on green, you gotta look both ways for red light runners or you will die some day. That would make me sad. Your head needs to be on a swivel the whole time you are riding...look look look. Then if you need to escape you already know where everything is and can react more quickly.

This old girl is 29 years old. Back in the day we got along pretty well. 2 knee surgeries and 20+ years of psoriatic arthritis have pulled us apart. I still go out but nothing like I used to. This pic was taken last summer. I also have a Trek mountain beater that gets used on occasion.

Ha! Only if you move companies regularly http://talkliketheboss.com/your-company-stealing-your-salary/

You shouldn't need to tune for just a slip on. Me personally don't think any one needs a tuner or programmer for the street. Most of the bikes out there (especially newer ones) will out perform the riding skills of most riders. Waste of time, money and why fix something that isnt broke? Just my opinion and everyone has their own.

Was going to buy either an EJK, Bazzazz or Fuel Commander 5 anyway.

Then you would get to experience true vintage Biopace chain rings and lightweight lugged Tange steel frame. If I am able to get serious again better tires are in order. The ones that I got talked into squirm around more than half flat knobbies on a dirt bike. Don't roll for sheet either.

I would agree with that if we were talking track. I would strongly advise outside to inside on the street. IMO this is the ideal street line. Anyone who's ridden with me and bothered to notice, would see that is my line through almost every curve. There are many reasons why a street line shouldn't the same as a track line.

Try to relax. I found myself doing dumb shit because I was over thinking every little movement and getting amped up over mistakes. The class will help. I signed up for the ARC in April to continue the learning process. I still have a shit ton to learn after one season. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Its the gloves. The seam around the wrist is just slightly too tight and at the angle my wrist is at, it cuts off circulation a bit. Trying to think of a clever way to stretch it, gloves fit well other than that one spot.

Signed up for the MFS course in April. You are correct, I did coast. I wont do that anymore. The shuttering of the bike because of the degree of engine braking is what makes me do that.

And then you sold the bike anyway.

When I was in highschool I used to ad-hoc/VPN on the school computers and hop on whatever I wanted with my buddies. I was regarded as a wizard by my peers. I never did anything malicious, our firewall was just (understandably) restrictive. I got away with it for quite awhile until they installed the software on the librarians computer that allowed her to view our screens. Our IT guy was really cool about my breach, took it upon himself to educate me in some of the ways of the force after that. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

What the heck did you just say?

I tried that ! He said he only hires guys on fast 7-fiddy's !

Jeff perhaps you should do some of his gardening. Might get you some brownie points and free trackday!

We partied up with Caryn / Ryan and the crew about four weeks ago at Scene 75. She's a blast to hang out with, gonna miss her. See ya' on the other side Tank Baby

I thought his shirt said Harley Davidson and it was a lot funnier.

I think most of them tour with trailers.

These kids now days are too big of pussies to want to tour with soft bags on a sport bike.

It doesn't get any more fair than everybody paying the same rate.

I most certainly take responsibility for my kid. I obviously did a great job. And he is doing great with his. I get some minor partial credit for that. Edit: And he pays more in taxes than you make. You're welcome, from both of us since I get partial credit.
