i started my uploads at 9 am, and they finished at 7ish tonight

absolutely. I loved the track, the facility was nice, I will go back for sure. Just say when!

I can't wait to see your footage, to see myself.

they absolutely did. your right.

I was running 2-3 on the track and I believe I was hitting 5th on the straight too. I kept rolling out way too soon. I can't wait to get on the track again.

that looks awesome. I've never smoked sausage!

I did my first track day this weekend.Let me start first with great praise to STT. Those folks were awesome. The classroom end of things was very informative.I had no idea what I was doing, or what I was getting into. All I knew was that I'd signed up to ride on a race track(which was more badass than I ever expected).They walked you through everything. They answered questions no matter how stupid it may have sounded. They were great. The riding coachs were incredible. I learned more from these guys in a day, than I have in 5 years on the street. When we went out for our first session, I put myself in the slowest novice group I could. I wanted to learn everything I could, and I also didn't want to get myself in over my head. This was a good move, and a bad move all in one. My group consisted of hellmutt on his zx1400, snot on her 300 ninja, an older gentlemen on an fz6, and myself on my fz1. Mr. FZ6 is where the issues began. We hit the track at a mere crawl. Showing us the race line, different body positioning, and the plan to step up the pace as we went. The first two laps, were mellow maybe 40 mph tops. The coach decided to pick up the pace a notch on the third lap, and mr. Fz6 blew corner 7. Took it out in the grass almost dumped it. Coach dropped the pace down slower than our first lap after this. We went back to the classroom, and we discussed fz6's happenings. Discussed target fixation, looking through the turn, holding your line, all the typical stuff. I thought we had mr. fz6 straight. Session 2- Stepped up pace a notch, fz6 blew 7 again. pace dropped down back slower than the first lap of the first session. Had the same discussions with him on what to do, to fix his issue. Session 3-He blew the corner AGAIN! I'm far from pro, and far from a good rider. My videos will show you that in a few minutes. Now here is where I had an issue. We had run the first three sessions at 25-40 mph pretty much. Afternoon is pretty much free game. No passing in the corners. No closer than 6 foot. Raise hell. be safe. Sensory overload set in. I got out on the track trying to run a decent pace, but was totally unable too, Alot of it was due to mentally holding myself back, but the rest of it was due to running such a slow pace all morning and not gradually stepping it up. I felt like I missed out on that end of things in the learning process. I learned a ton as I said, and had a blast. I was slow, couldn't maintain a good line, I just got very frustrated with fz6 guy, I had a few issues with the same corner as well. At the end of the day ( go pro died so I didn't get my last session) I was very happy with myself. I wasn't fast, I had terrible lines, I didn't do any knee dragging or any good passing( everyone passed me) But I learned a ton, had the best time I've ever had on a motorcycle in my entire life, and I can't wait to go back again, and improve upon what I learned. Heres the videos. Criticize away, give me some food for thought, things to try, or whatever else you wanna throw in! I can't wait to hit the track again.

I have seen more motorcycles out in the last two weeks, than I have all season. Tons of gearless,tank topped, flip flopped riding. I don't get it. I'm not saying gear would have helped the ones who departed in these accidents, but jesus... end rant.

great time at the track yesterday. Doug I recognize your bike. Good to ride with you( although i didn't realize you were o.r) until just now. I have pics/vids and a write up coming

When I say crisp edges, I mean the nice clean transition down to the mounting bolts

Tried my hand at kydex last night. I think I need some foam that's more dense, I'd like some crisper edges. Any advice is greatly appreciated

I'll do 20!

^ thats exactly what I thought too. They've watched too much youtube.

We are going to have to ride ! I did 31 miles last night

Sold last week

I opted for an xds 9mm instead . Thanks guys

mmm! I'm having chicken and waffles right now... LOL

good find!

so the general consensus is that its worth the money. I will get the old faithful. I'm really happy with the holster. I will post a review of both products when they arrive.

Anyone have a gun belt? I have been looking at the old faithful belt. Anyone have one, or similar? http://oldfaithfulholsters.com/shop/gun-belt-kits/

I put 100 rounds through it a few days ago. I really like it. Accuracy was good, out of the box. Had no issues with it. The trigger pull got better as I went,and i hope it continues to get better yet. Very nice weapon for the money. I would recommend it for sure. The grip may not be for everyone. My hands are what I'd consider "blue collar" hands. The grip is very aggressive, but did not bother me any. My wife didn't care for the grip and the huge imprints it left in her palm. Over all, I am very happy with it.

Dude!!! You weren't kiddin about the jokes this week!!

I think he should stick with the sv650 and learn to really ride first.... Oh wait... Wrong thread. As everyone else said, go to a range that rents firearms . Take someone without whose firmiler, so you don't get out on the range and have no idea what to do.

Gander mountain (ugh) is the only place I've found .22 in a long while. They are selling 50 rounds of cci standard velocity for 4.99. To put this into perspective , the last time I purchased .22 ammo I bought 550 rds for 21 and some change.
