LongDogRacing Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 i don't have any experience with RA, but if it's anything like CornerSpin (www.cornerspin.com), then it's great training for your roadracing game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBBaron Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Harley has a race team?Flat track - fairly dominate too (though I think the rules favor the HD machines).Its pretty interesting if you havn't seen it before.Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jl10 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 thanks for the welcomes, yes Harley has a factory team in ama pro flat track kenny coolbeth is the rider for a while now. we focus not just on learning to slid but how to drive a motorcycle with the front, using rear brake pressure in different ways and much more.. flat track has been able produce alot of road racers, i feel it has alot to do with how comfortable a flat tracker becomes on a bike with it moving around at speeds.. such as springfield mile we are 135 on straights and about 95 in the corners, the fast way around that track isnt side ways but keeping ghe bike in line the best u can= driving the bike.. i like it best when the front end is actually pushing a little at 95 in the corner it helps the rear end stay in line some.. crazy in a way yes, but its what works for me, we want to help u find what makes u feel comfortable and allows you to progress!

donkason Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Harley has a race team?They just sit in the pits and rev their bike to see who has the loudest one. After that they bring out the oil clean up crew and let the real bikes on the track.Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oil leak issue was resolved by the removal of AMF. They only sit in the pits and make noise because they are too heavy to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jl10 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Check out the picture of Kenny Coolbeth at INDY Mile a few weeks back, notice the direction the bike is heading at around 100 into a corner-http://kerrgraphix.com/#/gallery/2012-indy-experts/stk-6082/ The rental for the second day includes a race ready bike, tires, fuel, race spec suspension, etc for $150. But its for an option from CRF230-CRF250-CRF450 , we like to see progression from one to the other for roadrace/trackday riders! RIDE Academy also has a great program with our sponsors, which really makes them your sponsors after attending the school. Companies such as AXO USA www.axousa.com provide ALL riders with 50% off any of there products from MX gear to full one piece road racing suits! Great part about it is its not a 1 time offer, its for a whole year! Any other questions please feel free to call, we have steal shoes, extra gear, etc if you have limited dirt experience! We are here to help! Thanks Johnny Lewis 484 354 2852 johnnylewis10@live.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
