That was during first practice on Friday. No cameras allowed during the races anymore. But you're right, we remove them for a fast lap effort or tuck them inside the fairing like this angle here - editing a post doesn't allow for video links... see post below Awesome! Look forward to seeing them.

Some team pics from this weekend -

It does, it's just the black end piece blending in.

Sure! Just sent you a message.

PM on the way

Each race his best lap was the second to last or last lap which is a positive. We've got some good notes from Grattan and Mid Ohio to take into account come Laguna this coming weekend.

OK let's try this again, video of what J_Copeland was referring to -

Coolant hose got loose and cut open by the chain. No problem man! Thanks for stopping by. It was actually the AMA officials who lifted it up over while Joey ran halfway up the pit lane in full leathers to the B bike. Here's the video [FB link] - Awesome, just showed this to Joey.

I'm out, either going to Laguna or family event.

Todd was wearing a bright neon colored shirt, I could see him from a mile away haha

Need an easy way to carry your jacket while you’re off the bike? The Alpinestars Roving has your back. Just roll it up and put it in the convenient sling found at the bottom of the bag. The straps are fully adjustable and your jacket will be held securely in place by two sturdy buckles.

Bell’s top of the line Star Carbon helmet is back for 2013 with new graphics and a revised shape. The new shape is based on the RS-1, which was introduced after the Star, and featured an extremely well fitting intermediate oval headform. Other than the shape, the Star Carbon goes relatively unchanged, and retains all the features that made it so popular to begin with. As with the previous Bell Star Carbon helmets, this version uses an outer shell that is made from 100% carbon fiber. Bell spent a great deal of time engineering the shell to be not only lightweight and strong, but very aerodynamic as well. What they came up with was an angular shape with a uniquely contoured spoiler, both of which make this helmet extremely stable and resistant to buffeting. Air is also directed into the variety of strategically placed vents at the front in order to push warm, stale air out through the exhaust vents at the back. All vents are independently adjustable so that you can dial in the ventilation for a variety of conditions. Another feature that goes unchanged is the shield system. The Star Carbon uses their fog and scratch resistant NutraFog II face shield in order to keep your view clear. It’s also treated with a potent anti-UV coating so that you don’t have to worry about your face being burnt red after a day’s ride in the sun. Bell’s 3Mode Shield allows you to quickly lock the visor down, crack it open for added ventilation and swap out faceshields with no tools required. And don’t forget to ask about a Bell Transitions SolFX Photochromatic faceshield. These visors have the same great benefits of the included unit, but also change their tint based upon lighting conditions. They darken quickly (~10 seconds) when the sun is out for squint-free daytime riding. The new Bell Star Carbon comes in three different styles - the Matte Carbon, Airtrix Laguna, and the Race Day shown here. If you would like to place an order, or get information on the Star Carbon Matte, or any other Bell helmet, you can get in touch with Nathan through this forum or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. 809. Is email more convenient? Feel free to send those to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away!

Same session but different view

Pretty neat pic that my dad took from this weekend

Having a Daytona 200 winner and the guy who flirts with the track record giving you pointers kinda helps.

I hit 26.9 with a tow from Joey and Brian and 28's by myself on Saturday on take off AMA Dunlop spec tires.

My thermostat failed yesterday so assuming I can get that fixed (i.e., pull it out) before then, I will try and get out there one of those days.

The 4th of July may have passed, but that doesn't mean it's too late for another look at an appropriately themed helmet. The Arai Corsair-V Nicky GP "Easy Rider" is Nicky Hayden's homage to the iconic Easy Rider open faced helmet sporting the Stars and Stripes. Let us know if you're interested in one and we can get one out the door quick!

See you there!

Do something to warrant off bugs so you don't get something crawling into your ear or up your arm while you're buzzing down the highway.

This bike will be at Grattan this weekend (July 6-7) if anyone wants a closer look
