  1. Just use the same justification as cops and government officials use for surveillance cameras....upon entering a public space you forfeit your right to privacy and a camera is no different than a pair of eyes. Let us know how that goes
  2. not sure if the sIII has jellybean yet, but if it doesn't it gets even better!
  3. wonder what gets splattered on the back of the truck just where his helmet hits? The door of the truck is clean when he is approaching, then as he is falling away there is a big splatter Edit: guess he had a hydration pack....might have been the splatter. follow up video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTaS7kpAEHs

    do over

    Mike, I've watched hours of the Dave Moss videos, but I never came across that specific video. Thank you. The washers I picked up are 3mm thick, so it will either be 3,6 or 9. All the info I could find pointed toward 6 being the most common stack size, but most of the info was for the 06/07 model. I haven't put any in yet. Planning on grinding them, trail fitting, and installing one at a time at the track to see what it does. I am a little concerned about putting the stack in though. Since my front spring is too light and diving under braking, would the washer stack(extra ride height in the rear) give me too much trail and make the bike unstable?

    do over

    I have to do something about suspension, bottoming the forks at Nelson all day. I'd bet it was under braking, but later in the day I was trying to be smoother on the brakes and fade it out as I was leaning in....zip tie was still buried on the bottom casting of the fork. One thing I'm concerned with, if I re-spring but don't re-valve, will the stronger spring blow right through the rebound dampening? I have no interest in power upgrade at this point, I'd rather put that money toward more days at the track and tires. I do need to pick up some spares....begging around for a brake lever at PIRC sucked. I'm keeping an eye out for used track bodywork. I doubt I could break even selling my street stuff and buying new, so it is staying on for the moment. I just ebay searched for radiators for my 05.....I'll be making up a guard for the radiator next time the fairings are off. You are right The last couple sessions at Nelson I tried to get away from straight line braking, setting up, and finally turning in....instead setting up while braking and fading off the brakes while leaning in. Not really braking harder, but a little later. I'm running the 05. I picked up some washers to raiser the rear at Nelson, but they are too big on the outside and need ground down. I'd like to do it at the track so I feel what the change does from one session to the next. The forks are already set flush, so my trail is actually worse at the moment. I read about the fork cap extenders, but everyone running them seems to be 06+, didn't even see any available for my model? Nice tip on the sonic springs! those are $35 less than the racetech's! Wish they had rear springs to go along too. I want to correct my body positioning and get the suspension in the right range, because I really think that is hurting me on tire wear. After basically 10 sessions at PIRC and 10 at Nelson, my rear Q2 is to the point where I have to flip it or it will be toast on the right in another day.
  8. I propose an alternate date: October 13th Location: Nelson Ledges

    Tired of being called a squid on the gsxr?

    funny vid

    seriously.....wait 20 seconds vs drive up on the sidewalk to get passed a school bus that is loading children of your neighbors. Some people dont deserve the right to operate machinery(yes, a fucking car is a machine).
  11. I <3 snow.....used to drive a 2wd pickup that never had any weight in the rear on Pa roads.....may not be able to ride the bike, but I sure can LMFAO at dumbasses that don't understand the concept of friction.
  12. Marty, I think I still suck too hard to buy any photo's....there any chance of seeing any proofs? I will be attending MotoSeries track days next year and absolutely picking up at least a couple sets of photos when the suck isn't so hard(hopefully).
  13. documentation, documentation,documentation if it is not on a piece of paper, it didn't happen get yourself checked out even if you don't think it means shit at the moment, if 10 years from now it is found to be a carcinogen, that documentation will save your ass
  14. Weather permitting.....I will sleep on the floor of someones hotel room and ride the shit out of central ohio roads!
  15. ^ it doesnt....it just knows when to become weak enough to fade away into oblivion

    do over

    If you had your trackbike to do over again what would your order of upgrades be(in order)? Right now I'm thinking: R6 thottle tube($12....why not? from my videos I chop throttle on turn exit from right handers...ergonomic issue(i'm fat)) Springs front and rear(100% this is the starting point) Shock oil refresh front and rear Possibly clipoons and rearsets yeah, the list is short, but I dont get paid jack shit.
  17. Well, look at it this way, at least your company has enough backbone to have a policy.
  18. what were they canned for?(out of pure curiosity)
  19. I'm glad you guys like the video. Here is a link to the delaney ridesmart videos on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Delaney+ridesmart&oq=Delaney+ridesmart&gs_l=youtube-reduced.3..35i39.8999.17866.0.18626.13.11.1.1.1.0.93.950.11.11.0...0.0...1ac.1.iBbL5PaTHT I hope I'm not offending anyone, I just found the topics interesting and informative. There is only so much you can cover in a day assuming you are starting from an absolute minimum. IMHO with the few track days under my belt there is absolutely no one i would recommend a first track day with more highly than MotoSeries. It may be more restrained, but there is no one more safe, fun and informative than MotoSeries.(isn't that the best order of things?) If I haven't kissed ass enough yet, I'm glad my first day on the track was with MotoSeries....if it was with the other group I have rode with, I'm not sure I would have returned. (actually I would have...just to bitchslap some of the douchebag who thought they were the shit for passing first timers on inside of the kink at PIRC)
  20. I've been trying to improve my body positioning and break bad habbits I formed street riding...found this video that is pretty informative. Made me realize a bunch of things that I'm doing wrong and a few things that I was doing right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL54cMxILRU
  21. and the ghey has seeped into another thread
  22. I think you mean track addict.....track and crack, hell the even sound the same At least I got my bike off the trailer this time! I am making an effort to get it back on the street!
