I was trying that too. I would do it but wasn't really sure about what difference it was making. They say it's good to weight the outside to help flick the bike up faster. Maybe I wasn't doing it right, or too busy trying to make the new foot position feel more natural.

I really need to invest in a school though. A proper racing school.

Nice... next work on dangl'n the foot like rossi does going into right handers....

cool shit... so what's the finished product gonna look like (your plastics I mean)

The upper will be the same color as the lower and the walls of the intake will be that white. And the tail will have a patch of white and the same color gray. Keeping it simple.

Ahhh...that's Rump. Nice pics. Your BP looks good, but put your head up more and look more into the corner.

You say you've only done 8 trackdays? Fast learner for sure or you're young. lol

Hey, I was out at that trackday with you. Dirt-colored Avalanche, black 675, blue Teknic leathers.

I must've gotten some bad 003s because I absolutely hated them at the track. They slipped so soon they felt like touring tires. I couldn't even get them hot enough to look like yours.

Not much to look through at the exit of 1 and the begining of 2. Most of the turns, like 3, 4, 5a/b and 8 I'm looking through pretty good. You ever run LVMS? My best is 1:26.4 there.

I was on the street versions. I only used warmers before the first session. I was running 30/30 cold. Maybe you might have a suspension issue?

Handles fine on GP-As.

I've had Dave Moss / Cyclemall set it up and there's no better guy for a 675.

Hmmmm. Maybe because mine were brand new that day or something. Because street tires turn to shit after being rode hard for a track day or two.

Set it up or rework it? I hear the 675s are hard to get setup correctly.
