Outsmarted - Outdrove a pair of 2007 GSXR's today.

Yeah, I've noticed the chicken strips, or rather the lack of them, on some of the local sport bikes. Most of the rear tires on them are flat in the center w/ no wear up the sides at all. Go fast in a straight line, but those corners sure throw 'em.

 

indeed he is!

he and his frau came up to see '92 kicking R1 buttocks at Summit Main. 1:36.42 on diablos and the '92




he needs to Track the '99 and have his lady track her Monster!

 

Nice shots Betarace!

 

I hooked up with a bunch of guys on tricked out stunt bikes a while back when I was out alone in the boonies , they tried to lose mean in the twisties but to no avail , so we get to the next stop and the guy beside me looks over and says," hey , you keep up pretty good for an old guy" to which I respond, Nah , you just need more practise, so , away they fly, we're getting near town so I decide to back down, they're doing about 160 in a 100 km zone and over here you lose your ride at 50 over, so they get up about a mile or so and low and behold red and blue lights at the city limit, they did not look happy when I cruised by and gave 'em a nod, that musta hurt.

 

You said it, I paid for the tires I'm using the whole damn thing, besides it quite a challenge seeing how far you can get these bikes over, they just wanna stick!

 

Looking at a bunch of GSXR's parked at a local stop i looked at there rear tires.

Out of 8 bikes, 2 had white showing in sports on the center of there tires. you know the white underply that is benieth the tire? ya that.
the other 5 tires looked like boxes |_| because the center had been so worn. the last one was new and still had the little nobbies on it.

I don't unserstand it, even riding to and from work and some times between Edminton on clagary using a big long straight road for 3 hours each way my tires do not look like that.

I honestly thought it was jsut a sterio type...but holy cow.

 

Damn Stevo, your form is looking pretty good. It looks like you were having fun out there.:strong:

 

!!

it was really awesome, totally enjoyed it. I see all these posts here about "how fast will it go" and " I just did 1XX miles per hour" ... dudes take it to the track for all of our safety! The VFR is totally trackable and capable in stock form. NESBA - tape the lights, take off the mirrors - enjoy.

Will be doing VIR Pat and N in Oct on the 999 and Thunderbolt Nov 1 & 2 with Mr. Zanetti. Gen 3 vs. Gen 4 death match. :wink:

 

Awesome. That sounds like fun to me. Let me know how you like T-Bolt in NJ.

 

Bring it on! lol!:vader:

Actually, I am pretty interested to see how I do at Thunderbolt on the 97. I was there on Sept 15, but I had to borrow my friends Ninja 250. The VFR had some issues I had to iron out. Anyway, the track is fast and technical. Very fun, but my day was cut short due to a small fork oil leak and the front suspension on the 250 is shot. So when the yellow flag dropped the handlebars would do the "shimmy-shimmy-shake" in the corners. Not very confidence inspiring lol! What was fun was I didn't have to use the brakes! I just keep that 250 wound-up; accidently red lined it a couple times:whoops: A downshift here or their was all ya need on that bike to slow.

So I pitted in before the session was over and NESBA (Bobby G) actually gave me a half day credit!

I'm really excited for Nov. 1st!
