There were 3 photographers at the trackday today. Going to be so many pictures...

First one I found of me during the first or second session. Soooo close with the knee



How much do you feel track days have helped your riding?

I would have slowed the gently caress down as soon as that poo poo started flying. That dumbass didn't hit the brakes until he was almost into it.

That's the thing I think slowing down would have ended up in running into something or having something run into you. Basically that guy caught amazing amount of luck.



God that KTM is beautiful. I want a 990adventure badly but it's only be used on the street and I would feel bad keeping a monster like that from dirt.

That's a pretty cool video but doesn't provide much insight as to the actual process. It's pretty much I'm going to start riding. Hey I'm going to start riding on a track. Whoa I'm racing.

I know, college humor, but...the entire video is pretty much :aaaaa:

God drat coming from a BMX background that video just made me want to go out and ride all loving day. Absolutely inspiring. And how the gently caress do trials bikers get so much more height than BMX riders? Is it because of the bigger tire and some crazy physics?

Shutter wobble sucks. This is with the new ContourHD. It wasn't mounted super securely, so I'm sure it'll improve a bit with proper mounting.

How do you have this mounted? I might get this to document my cross country trip.

Courtesy of the gixxer.com forums of course. Ugh my hand hurts just thinking about it.

Holy gently caress. I ran my hand through my sprocket one day while cleaning my bmx bike chain and it hurt like a bitch. I can not imagine how loving bad that must have hurt.

I'd compromise and have a Ninja 500 / GS500/ SV650/ Ninja 650, Great all rounders, can cruise the freeway 75-80mph easily, they all get 50 MPG or more, and are cheap to insure.

Theres a guy who works at a restaurant near mine who commutes about 60miles/day on a 2008+ ninja 250, he actually kind of prefers it over his 2009 CBR 600 because he told me his wrists started bothering him, and hell the CBR is considered one of the most comfortable of modern sportbikes.

My Ninja 500 owns bones and I plan on keeping it when I buy my new bike. It's really perfect for city riding.

Edit: And no, I didn't just take her out on my tall-rear end motard and say "git 'er done!" She had her license through MSF and has put a couple hundred miles down on a small two-stroke, so I'm easing her onto larger bikes.

This is awesome, the suit is awesome, the bike is awesome, the girl is awesome, you are awesome too! Seriously jealous as my girl won't even consider riding on the back of my bike let alone ride a bike on her own no matter what I offer in return.

I know next to nothing about sportbike riding, so I was hoping you could tell me something. When you lean in a turn how do you hold your body onto the bike? Does the force of turning keep your feet planted on the pegs? Do you use your outboard knee to stay on? Friction?

Centripidal force and hips.

I enjoy the hell out of my 500 but when I rode a friends R6 it was awesome as gently caress. But it's not something I could use in streetriding that's why I'm getting a sumo to hoon on. :)

Rolling off the throttle straightened up the bike too. That crash had all sorts of gently caress ups.

Thats 2.8 shots per second for all 24 hours of the day. If true thats a lot of camera work.

7D does 8fps and 1d does around 10-12 not hard to imagine shooting 30k in a weekend like that. poo poo I go through almost 3k in a 4 round boxing match which is 12 minutes.
