Ammomart aka buffalo cartridge. I figured you guys would all know who lol. Local gun shop has probably 70 cases. Seems like SAR usa is the only company making it haha.
Yea that stuff has popped up at the range local to me. Wish that buffalo cartridge place was closer to cleveland. 4hr round trip for me.

I will be putting the Riders Discount Triumph 675 up for sale next week or two...let me know if anyone here or that you know of is interested. Would love to see it stay local...with a 4 year old i have no time to use so it needs to go to someone that will. Trades and or cash welcome.
I will offer you 5 handy's.
I have tiny asian hands so anything I hold with them makes that object look bigger. It's a bonus.

Went to Carolina Motorsports Park this past weekend for Saturday only. Well worth the 9 hour drive. Facility was great and pavement was excellent. Still a lot to work on with body position. Intermediate had a rough day and was red flagged almost every session.
Some constructive feedback from what I see in that short video:
I see the your nose diving a lot under braking. It goes up and down and up and down. Try to be smooth on that first 5% of braking. Also be smooth on that last 5% when you're coming off of the lever. When you aren't - you upset the chassis which upsets the bike which fucks with the contact patches your tires have to the pavement. (Something you want to avoid.)
Also you can think "lighter longer" meaning you are on the brakes lighter but for a longer period of time. You don't need to get all of the braking done when you are straight up and down. Ultimately once you start applying the brakes - you want to carry the brakes and trailing off of them all the way to the apex. Not on/off on/off. Now don't get me wrong, you can't carry a bunch of lean angle and a bunch brakes at the same time. You'll tuck the front. That is why we trail off of them as we add lean angle.
You'd be amazed at what just putting the pad to the rotor does for slowing the bike when you are leaned over. These bikes are designed to be steered on the brakes. Get a feel for putting pad to rotor in the garage pushing the bike around. Just walk it and then gently pull the brake lever until you can hear/feel the pads touch the rotors. That is the kind of sensitivity I'm talking about.
A front tire can take more than you'd expect. But it won't if you're abrupt with it, you have to load the tire before you work the tire.
Speed = Radius. As you slow you are able to get your radius tighter aka your bike pointed where you want to go. The faster you get your bike pointed the faster you can then reduce lean angle and add throttle. The longer you're on the throttle around a track the faster you'll go (obviously). With you being on a liter bike this is really important. We don't call those 1k bikes point and shoot for no reason :).
Try to focus on being smooth. Smooth with your application (on and off) of the brake. Smooth with the application of the throttle. Smooth bar inputs. You'll get there, just keep coming out and you'd be surprised at when you can do!

I remember reading here about your accidents and figured you might be gearing up to be a little safer on a bike with more power. I’d say good thinking.
That makes me sound a lot smarter than I actually am. I just wanted a new suit - My second hand RST has been great and still has life. It will now be a back-up.

You going for a bigger bike again?
Yea going to hop back onto a 600 for 2021.
I probably should've never left the 600's but I bought a 1k, crashed/highsided it and lost a lot of confidence so that's when I went sv650. Which has made me a much better rider but since I'm going to focus more on trackdays than racing next season - riding with friends on bigger bikes while I'm on an sv is pretty non-existent as I get gapped on any part of the track that requires power lol.

I am hopeful to be in KY this weekend, but if that falls through I will be home all weekend. You will need to come to me, though. My sushi spot is awesome and you need to try it.
I also have a good sushi spot near me... good quality and its unlimited.

For one price you can get unlimited of whatever is on the menu. When my friends and I go, we get literal boats lol.
I actually might be past that area on saturday? If my new suit comes in I'll be driving to Pitt to try it on.
