  1. I think sportbike track gear is selling the dunlop q2s for 210. They ship fast. Good luck!
  2. can't you just take it into work and have one of those lazy fuckers do it?

  6. As was stated before by others, the guy with the b bike is cheating (based on the way he's been getting votes). I hope he will get disqualified, but we won't participate in such unscrupulous activity. We have more than 4000 members here, we don't need to cheat to help brian even if that POS with the "custom" does.
  7. As long as the weather holds up, if you do race school, your race license for your first race is free
  8. Im going to be taking the slow way to columbus later today after I get some crap done.
  9. you mean like this, huh? it sure is admirable
  10. if you are baller like uncle punk, they're probably great for the type of riding you do. if you're a bit more subdued and not as redonkulous, i'd say just go with something more street oriented. i know plenty of people who run touring tires and get it edge to edge without any problems... and running them plenty damn quick. in fact, i recently revived the aprilia from the semi-dead and it had conti road attacks or whatever the street tires are and they did ok at the track. i wasn't running super fast lap times on them, but definitely fine for intermediate pace at beaverun.
  11. everyone i've talked to loves the pures. track, street, mix of both?
  12. motomummy had the q2's for $200 a set shipped. not sure if they're still doing it. i'm running them right now, and they're pretty great. i literally have like almost .5 to .75" of tire left unused compared to my normal pace on pilot power 2ct's or BT016 or corsa III's. they slip very little while on the gas, even at a "good" lean angle (meaning, my pucks are firmly on the ground). they might even be a bit over kill for street use. i'd say they're perfect for intermediate-pace track use. just based on my limited experience with tread patterns and wet roads, the corsa III or the PP 2CT's are better, but then again... i'm a giant pussay in the rain, so whatevs.
  13. i looked like a panda riding a bumblebee looking POS 600rr or like this: or this: http://redx.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/PTR-811-HIGH-RES i think i'm the first pic on that link. you might be on that site somewhere in the 8/10 PTR folder.
  14. grant, do you have any more video from the 8/10 day? were you there on 8/11? if you were running I group, we were probably on track together.
  15. so what brah? you wanna fight about it? ...heh heh
  16. just out of curiosity, anyone know of a range of lap times for A group? or if you're riding A group at midohio, you could just post your laptimes and give your impression (like, you are passing, getting passed, mid pack, etc. anecdotal, but could be useful) brian, please don't make the rest of us feel bad by posting yours.
  17. old news is old michael schumacher also did at least 1 stint as the stig. so has your mom.
  18. i'm going to be in columbus, but i'm more than likely bringing the buell down. i think i have time to ride on sunday morning or monday morning. maybe even saturday morning. i'll bring my leathers just in case.
  19. Hai gaiz, I'm actually not so sure if I'm going to be there just yet, but there is a open practice day (almost identical to midohio's max time twilight LED sessions) on friday, sept 10th from 5pm to 8ish. Open sessions, with the occasional flag in for a voluntary break. ...sometimes, i think they forget. $60 Sat is the normal track day. if I go, i'll run intermediate to harass some friends, and then advanced after lunch. $120 (only $60 if you race the following day) Sunday is the race. Not sure if I'm racing quite yet either. Mostly, pending weather. (racing starts at $80 i think?) Nelsons is a beat up whore of a track. It's bumpy, hairy in places, and most of all, it's beat to shit. But it's still fun and it's cheap. Post up if you're going.
