Good weather, lots of sunshine, lots of tracktime, and close friends nearby. What else could you ask for? That’s what you would have gotten if you attended the Summit Point Cyclefest this year at Summit Point Motorsports park for Memorial Day Weekend. My wife and I got there early afternoon on Thursday and watched the [...]
Last time I wrote in my blog I was talking about turning a modern off the showroom floor sportbike like a GSXR6ZXCBR into a pure bred race machine.
Let’s summarize, up to this point we talked about removing all your street junk (bodywork, mirros, lights, etc.) and selling it so you could recove some of the [...]
The season is nearly upon us. For some it started last weekend at Talledega Speedway with WERA. For others the race never ends as with WSMC. At any rate if you are new to racing or a seasoned veteran on your 10th season you are going to have to prepare your motorcycle for the thrill [...]
So I get an email from a company that I have never been to. It’s called PowerSportsPro and they specialize in every part for motorcycles known to mankind. They want me to put their website address on my blog which is cool. I perused their website and it seems that they have been around for a [...]
My friends and I have been doing some training for the upcoming season. From what I understand a lot of roadracers use dirt bikes, run, ride a bicycle, heck even some ride on the ice. You see we all have these little TTR125’s, DRZ125’s, and XR100’s that we have been tooling around on. These past [...]
What a great New Year my wife and I had this past weekend. We attended a trackday at JenningGP in Florida. It was 3 days of testing your skills on a high speed (relatively) 14 turn motorcycle only road course, safely. Without having to worry about things like Grandma’s (God bless their hearts), oncoming traffic, [...]
Interesting tid-bit of info for 2008. I guess they released the 2008 schedule.
Click on thumbnail for full size schedule.
I will hopefully be doing about 6 of those races.
As I am getting ready to get back on the track I was thinking about what kind of protection I had in my new set of Hein-Gericke leathers.
I decided to take a look. I pulled all the armor that was in place out and discovered that it was so called CE Armor in the knees, [...]
Whoa! what a season so far! It hasn’t even started and I have already race prepped the motorcycle for 2008.
2007 was a wash for me. So bad that in fact that I couldn’t really do much of anything until my collarbone was fully healed. I didn’t want to risk another injury. My orthopedic surgeon said [...]
Suspension Guide
I am by no means a suspension guru but this is something that I found on the web. I have used it at the track when I haven’t had anyone to turn to for advice because it gives you a basic understanding that if “your bike is doing this, try adjusting this” theory of [...]
