R6 smiles

I've been commuting most days on my 09CBR1K but this a.m. the 2005R6 was back in the garage and It needed a warm-up for an oil change. I had forgotten how fun that bike is to ride. It felt light, nimble, and it may have something to do with riding a slower bike fast as opposed to riding a faster bik...

Re: MSRC April 14/15 (1.7CCW)

and.... after a couple of track days level one class became a waste of time for me. Instead of watching/critiquing other riders lines and body position etc.. level two instruction seems to have a lot more of the information that will help me be a better/safer/faster rider.

Re: MSRC April 14/15 (1.7CCW)

Level 2 is a great place to work on all of that. For the most part level 2 is easier to predict people's movements and therefor passing becomes easier. And with worrying less about what other people are doing you can focus on what you want to work on better. DarcShadow that is exactly what I have e...

Re: MSRC April 14/15 (1.7CCW)

Great day today. Nobody crashed getting into pit lane that I saw. The wind was much reduced from Saturday and the temperature was up a bit. The morning was slick, most folks were taking it pretty easy in the AM. It got into the upper 60s by later in the afternoon and tires were sticking to the trac...

Re: BMW Demos FPS Hurst 4/13-14

[quote="SputnikSam"]Thanks for the heads up, signed up to test ride the S1000RR at 215pm! :)

Edit: test rode the 1200GSA as well, most blissful motorcycle experience I've ever had!

So, I should never ride a 1200SA or I WILL WANT ONE!

What did you think about the S1000rr?
