MT-09's are rare and disappear quickly. The seller managed to look happy for this pic. The purchase was in Dayton. I need to find a new way to buy a new-to-me bike without driving 3 or more hours with that bike in my rearview mirror. I've added a frame slider package (all the spots) and a Puig windscreen is in the mail. Next will be heavier springs, though it's not too bad with the presets and dampers tuned most of the way up. Next trip, Monday, Aug 9 is to PIRC to take a ChampDay with the Yamaha Champions Race School where I will probably manage to avoid seeing @TimTheAzn 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTheAzn Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) For the record its not a race school. It's a riding school that anyone at any level can attend and get good take-aways. I don't care if you've been riding 30 years - you will learn something that will not only improve your understanding of how a motorcycle is designed to be ridden it will make you safer. Not track focused it just happens to be on a track since that is the safest most controlled place. It's controlling your motorcycle focused. Techniques can be applied to the street or the track. The bike doesn't know what it's on whether its a road or a track. https://ridelikeachampion.com/champ-street/ I'm going through the 2-day school on tues/wed. Been waiting about 3 years to do it.

Shoop Posted August 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Rider - not Race... Dang, I'd blame it on autocorrect, but that would have picked a LESS appropriate replacement word. I'm taking the ChampDay session. Not the ChampStreet. The Champ day is new this year. From different email replies, it seems not all of the YCRS guys have the same understanding of what this one is. I think, and I'm hoping that it's sort of like a track day but with more emphasis on coaching. One description said it has a low student to coach ratio. Anyway, I borrowed, I mean stole, I mean bought @JustinNck1 ' s leathers. So I expect to have a nice hot sweaty time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
