Wd40 is all I use on my track bike chains. 

Maxima Chain Wax on street bikes

PM received. I have those sizes too. I'll get with you later tonight. I'm at the track right now

Rotella T6

Nope, has to do with Ethugging and drinking. You don't get out much with us lol

I don't know what size you need but I have a bunch of gear I need to sort thru and sell. I dropped a bunch of weight to make a run at the OMRL and MotoSeries events. I got rid of one of my suits already but I have more and lots of street gear too.Icon riding pants and jeans, jackets etc.  

Gear resells easy on eBay and CL. Stay in gear that fits. When it doesn't, sell and buy new. If continued loss is your plan buy used until you hit your goal weight then reward yourself with new gear. The WERA board is a good place for used gear too. Many of the track guys sell their used gear there. If you have full unrestricted range of motion while standing straight, it's too loose. 

I ride for the sport and competition,  not for validation or community. 

I would be highly irate if I saw someone lifting my bike by my $700 Ti exhaust. 

I don't wave at other people just because they drive a dodge ram or Chevy Tahoe when I'm driving either of those so why would I wave just because you're on a bike when I am? That's just dumb. 

Can find a failure video of anything if you want. Try using them yourself instead of judging without trial. 

I don't know what you ride or what kind of pace you ride but I can tell you they are not even close at the pace I like to keep. 

Your gear should be snug. It's there to protect in a slide and can slide off or up if too loose. It's also there to keep your limbs close to core so you don't flail like a chicken when you are tumbling which breaks arms and legs, snug gear helps keep your arms and legs close to the body so you roll instead of flail. 

Pisses me off to see shit like that on the street

Must be why you dont ride with Josh or I

^^LOL.

 

I guess I dont understand the thought-process behind buying one of the most tractable and best-handling 2-wheeled machines to ever roll off a production line, then turn around and start neutering features integral to said scalpel-like handling.

Not winning

It's way more expensive than $123.

Whenever you lower a bike it's required that you buy a flat bill hat to wear backwards, a designer tank top, white flip flops, white oakleys, a white watch and white book bag to ride with. All that stuff is expensive! LED light kits are optional, but strongly encouraged.

I dont wave because Im a dick like that and think its gay

I always wave.  Half the time I don't get waves in return from cruisers with no gear on, but I just tell myself that if you're on a bike, and someone waves at you, and you don't wave back... then you're just a dick, plain and simple.  

I'm that guy. 

They have Pirelli Diablos in the size. They are very similar to the Powers.

Not even. Tried one set, never again

What he said. ^. Tires come with cost of warmers, generator ect. And wear faster. Consider everything. The confidence boost will help though

The Q3 is a very capable tire. Your riding style has as much if not more to do with answering that question than lap times do.

?????

5'9" and you want to lower a 600 because you can't touch, what?

I'm a fucking Midget and have a 1000, 600, and Supermoto. At factory height.

You need to focus on skills and technic, nobody at 5'9" should have to lower a bike

I'll run in N like a BOSS lol

2 incidents

He was also there as a friend of a few members here. They came to med center to check on him before we shipped him

And he wasnt on a Sumo, the one that hit him may have been. 

There wasn't a crash, something happened with his bike and leaked oil all over the track. It was some dude on a sumo. Happened right where I was watching. Took forever to get cleaned up. Watching the ama guys come through there on the warmup laps was scary.

^^^This. I'd heard rumor of a crash too, but it was just that....rumor. I'm sure the pros were pissed about the delay and track conditions after that. Parade laps should be done at the end of the day so there is a lot more time to address any issues like that without interference with the racing schedule.

Um. Beg to differ since Im the one that treated him and took to the hospital.
