  1. Yea honestly I would edit your earlier comment and remove anything containing info about his injury.. Seems silly but they don't mess around as others have said. No need to take offense to it, they're just trying to save your gf a bit of trouble, possibly a job. I know everyone talks in private in the health care field but openly discussing it where others are in earshot, not to mention on a forum is a huge no-no.

  2. Selling my suit--I'm really not sure if I'll be riding in the future so I'll let someone else have the joy of this protecting them. I did have 3 crashes, 2 low speed in T7 and the carousel at mid-ohio, and 1 that I hit the ground at ~135-150 on the back straight and slide on my shoulder to my back.. Barnicle Bill did an awesome job of repairing the spots that were damaged. Make me an offer .. I'm located in Shelby, Ohio .. call/text if any questions 419ninesixone7594

  3. Ill have to check when I get back in town this evening. I know the guy who had it before me had a box full of different wiring harnesses, ecm, rear axle, vesrah pads, and ill have to look to see what else is in there.

    At this point itll need a new or takeoff gpa rear.. the bead is hosed on the tire.

    I could throw in the stands if needed.

  4. another BIG thing that I brought from my mx days, and i'm sure Brian would agree.  Weighing the outside peg on hard acceleration/drive off style corners. This will help stand the bike up on the tire, and creates downward leveraged force on the tire itself.  It is an absolute must on the dirt, and once I applied it to my road course riding, I noticed a big change on my corner exit drives.

    this helped me out quite a bit last year as well

  5. I would say take your next day to work on the body positioning.. A lot of people do what you're doing in the video, get the ass off, but the upper body stays twisted facing the triple.. Use a stand and someone to hold your bike, practice getting your whole body off the bike with your chest facing where you are wanting to go.. I had a lot of trouble with that last year and when you open your chest up to where you're going, it helps out a lot with getting your head turned & looking at where you need to go. So chest down, and opened up, keep the arms relaxed. I found out at nelson I was fighting the bike in every turn.. Once I quit holding on with a death grip I was able to actually hold a decent line. You'll take seconds off just pushing a bit more into T1, 2,3,6..hell everywhere.. just my 2 cents

  6. That was me you were working to pass off the keyhole and out braked me on the back straight. Nice riding and throttle control. It helped me pick a few things I have to work on. You are fast.

    Thanks man, I still felt like a slow turd trying to get used to the bike and suspension.. I remember talking to you earlier last season during one of the days -- you are looking alot smoother out there.
