AV gas is a bad idea in bikes...

The plan is to be at the track by noon Thrusday. I'd want to leave around 8:30-ish... Gives time to drop off the bike/trailer... FJ can handle it, right? Not a box trailer... Correct?

I'm heading over on Thursday. Using your trailer? I coulc haul it over with my FJ and help out...

I agree. While similar to the current site, it is still very boring. Can you spice it up a bit more? Graphics are really basic and not sure about the three bikes at the top. I understand the idea to pertain to all aspects of riding and riders, but they are really bland... Looks good, but just needs more pop with graphics...

What about a SUPER clean RM65? Towards the two bikes...

I'll be at a little thing they call MotoGP. Surprised you aren't working that event.

"It'll make me look bad for selling you those shit tires" PRICELESS! Love this thing! Where can we go and do the electronic voices at?

Dude, don't take offense, but your wife is gorgeous. On topic... I have an "A" with next to no laps, a brand new "A" as well... When I say a few laps, I mean a 10 lap sprint... I'd sell it for $80... $125 for the new front... Does he need a 190 rear?

Dude, that thing is really cool! The best part is the motor. What a cool idea. What frame did you use? We have a kid that is converting a Super Duke KTM into a chopper. I'll try and get some pics. These types of projects are bad ass!

So, you agree with me. I said "on average" - not everyone... The cool comment is pretty old at this stage.

Again, after so many miles of freeway driving, I see what the average driver does and they aren't 2-3 seconds back... Again, if you do, that's great and something I wish everyone did. But, truth be told, on average, they are not...

Lane splitting and following within a car's distance in front of you are different things, but the lane splitting is VERY, VERY close. I think lane splitting is crazy and to do it on freeways and everything, out here, following closely and in and out of traffic like described is child's play in comparison... Also, not sure where we were disagreeing... I was asking what he did as a rider and driver. I was called an idiot...

Either. 2-3 seconds is what you are told in driving school. Nobody does that. Car or bike...

Well, you are probably one of VERY few. I drive over 48-50k miles a year and I am here to tell you that people aren't leaving 2 seconds minimum behind the car in front. Behind? Maybe. But, there are even signs posted to make sure people aren't cutting in so soon... But, if you drive with at minimal 2-3 seconds gap behind the car in front, you are a minority.

So, you now added idiot. Nice... Welp, Ben. You're the smartest one here so, enlighten us as to the proper amount of time/distance needed.

Ben always uses the damn track side of things when I chime in. Apparently, I never ride street nor do I have any street experience... The comment was directed to Ben to say that while I agree a car length is close, it isn't anything out of the norm that we've all done. It's not just a damn track deal and IF we were on track, we get a LOT closer than a car length... So, while I am still cooler than most, that's not the point...

So... Do you? Reason I ask is that I know you don't. Anyone on here that says they do every damn time is lying. All I am saying is that you sit here and preach about this type of thing and yet, how many threads are there where guys are talking about making laps around 270? Running flat out speeds out on the road? If you are an advocate for safety, what's the change?

Nope. A legit question...

Cagers hit their brakes when a full semi behind other cars. The OP could have easily been unable to judge correctly... I mean, there are ALWAYS two sides to every story.

Trust me, Ben... If it were a track, I'd lay on your fairing or brush against you...

Man, we rode in CA a few times and the lane splitting takes some getting used to, but guys like Casper would shit their pants if they did so... It was TIGHT! And that wasn't a track!

So, you are saying that you leave at minimal, a car's length in front and behind you when changing lanes between cars when you are driving? You also are saying that you leave over 5 feet in front and behind you on your bike?

Gates open at 3 with tech and everything - bikes on track at 5ish... It's not a 3 group day and again, you really ought to try a three group day vs. an LED...

No they are not. You got maybe Sept 21st mixed up with August 21st?

Sure he was the typical squid that gives us sportbike guys a bad name, but if there is a length of a car between cars, that's enough room for a 53" wheel based bike to fit... Sounds like it was your opinion that it was too tight and too close. We get that a lot at the track when people come in and state they had people passing too closely. Remember, to you, it may have felt like they were laying on top of you, but in essence, it was more like 6 foot of room... I'd say he was under dressed, but as proof from the drivers stabbing brakes - usually they are the issue and from your story, they were too close and they were not paying attention and maybe made it look worse than it was...
