Re: Race slicks vs street tires
Oh yeah, not saying your so slow or anything, just MoS is damn fast on the 250. Even on the 1.7 he'd probably be about mid to upper pack in Level 2 and on the 1.3 easily top 5 to 10% of the pack.fixxervi6 wrote:I have no idea if he can never been on the track with him, its an assumption that he can pass me on his 250, I'm not going to argue with it because if he does it'll just be twice the salt.

My guilty pleasure is a set of slip ons that have a negligible performance boost, gotten for the looks. $1.1k....douche tax. You only live once, might as well enjoy the motorcycle bits.

Yeah, exactly. And the worse conditions are, the better he does relative to the pack.DarcShadow wrote:Oh yeah, not saying your so slow or anything, just MoS is damn fast on the 250.

I saw the video sckego took when the two of them hit the track in their glowsticks on 250s. Sckego was passing people left and right, and Snail kept pulling away from sckego. He's just that damn fast.

Re: Race slicks vs street tires
Part of the reason I like the 1.3 so much. People just don't know how to ride it yet, so those that have figured it out, or at least figured it out more then the other guys, can fly past people left and right.

Re: Race slicks vs street tires
Yeah, now that I'm *way* more comfortable with my riding than I was on trackday #3, I'm looking forward to hitting up the 1.3 again. That track is almost one constant set of turns. If you screw up, you're not really recovering for at least half a lap, maybe more. I remember that really the only places you have to recover are before the big right-hander and on the front "straight" (if you can call it that).DarcShadow wrote:Part of the reason I like the 1.3 so much.

But yeah, when you get it figured out, it just flows so nice. I wish I'd had more than 2 or 3 really good laps on that track. Guess I'll have to go back for more.

You need all that to hit 190?
Fixxer I have said it before but any time .... and I mean ANY time you want to check out the quickshifter all you need to do is ask. I will let you take it out at bikenight ... trackday... dragstrip... on a ride... or just a day we can meet up ... whatever. I in no way regret purchasing it but that is me. I used it at cresson ALOT and it did great. Not saying it is a must but it is nice to have. For that matter how many things that we get for the bike are a must? If your anything like me... not many.

Re: Race slicks vs street tires
Actually....it is more of a sarcastic joke against the SV. In all honesty, im sure just a sprocket change and a little practice and she could hit 200. But im just sayin!
