At the track right now!!

[Wavex]

Cali Rider and I are at the streets of willow right now having fun! One dude in our group crashed already, so we have a bit of down time while they clean the cooling liquid off the track.

Oh and one of my front fork seal started leaking, so I have to take it easy... Getting front end chattering on braking...

Cheers to all of you stuck at home or whatever!

Will post pics later... :BLAA:

Remember - Less brake, more throttle.

Hey all... another great great trackday!

Cali Rider was f_ing FLYING out there!!! When you pass control riders left and right, you know you're "burning the edge" :thumbup::rockon:

I managed to have a very good day even though my front brake was chattering like crazy and my front right fork was leaking drops of oil (I had to wrap a paper towel around the fork to capture the oil so it wouldn't get on the rotors/calipers lol you can see it on the pic below). I would definitely NOT have ridden if it would have been the big track...

The front brake chattering was quite scary, but I managed OK thanks to the fact that this track is really tight and does not require any real hard braking... still scared myself a couple of times though (again, I had no "hard braking" on the bike...). It also kinda forced me to really focus on being smooth...

I need new rotors and fork seals... will probably drop new springs in there as well while I am at it.

Some pics of the day:






the guy with the yellow gixxer crashed... bike's fairing is trash. Another dude from our group crashed and has a broken wrist and hit his head... more news on that soon, but he should be ok.




part of the front straight and turn 1 & 2

this is what was going on on the big track (next to ours):







they're going about 120mph entering that turn:





right on the other side of the big track was a Go Kart racing event as well... along with some ppl having fun on the nearby drifting track... the whole Willow Springs facility was packed!! it was awesome.

Here is the gixxer right after the crash:

Both dudes are confirmed to be OK... just a broken wrist and lots of bruises for one of them, but nothing too bad.
