Was planning on doing a track day this month but too much other poo poo going on. So first track day of the season is April 16th at little tally. Was hoping to have the track SV going but I haven't found time to put it together yet so I may be taking the CRF which is fine for little tally. Going to be right in the middle of moving too so that should be fun. Can't wait, maybe I'll work on the SV when I get home tonight.

I'm psyched for Sunday at MSRH even if there is 30% change of rain. They have a covered area in the paddock right? I don't recall. Also Invision - I don't have an account on MH but if you still need gloves I have XL Alpinestars SP2s which you're welcome to. They're a bit used but still good.

Yay I can post here! All signed up for my first track day in May. Entirely psyched about this, though slightly wary because it means I have to travel into New Jersey. Apparently there is a track in NJ.

Apparently there is a track in NJ. NJ Motorsports park? I'm looking at going to a superbike schoolday or two there. Up until this year Englishtown Raceway had supermoto events too but they are done, so there's only OVRP in NY for that now.

Mr. Eric Praline posted:Thunderbolt. It's a private event for triumph675 forum members and friends, so there'll be a max of like 60 bikes all day, pro coaches, etc. Figure it'll be a good way to learn the ropes of track riding. A track full of Triumph 675's is pretty much my wet dream.

If it was a drag strip you could invite Sir Moot. I'm not sure he'd be into one of those confangled turny tracks though....

Gotta hurry up and wad that thing so I can justify buying pretty new track plastics! Edit: Is it an optical illusion or a camera trick, or do your pressures look really low? What are you running in that picture?

thanks! i try real hard to keep the shiny side up. i'm running Pirelli diablo super corsas (race DOT's). front pressure is 32psi, rear is 26psi. i set the hot pressures on warmers. i noticed the carcass flexing too, i had seen it on other people's pictures, but never on mine. that pic was taken during the mock race at the end of the day. i was working on pushing my brake markers deeper that day, as well as trail braking. i think i had just passed some people on the brakes going into that turn. i was trail braking hard, might account for the front tire flex. not sure though, i'm still a slow guy
