Looks like a ton of fun!

That middle shot is a keeper, Id make a large frameable shot and put er' in the shop. (If it were me that is)

Thanks for the pics.

 

[FZ6771]

Nice pics!!!! I got a few more pics too.

 

[Motogiro]

The last shot is cool or should I say hot! Look at the heat distortion in the air from the exhaust!

Really great shots! :rockon:

 

[Erci]

Very nice form in middle shot! You must've done this before

 

[Hellgate]

Thanks guys. I was really working on form and by the end of the day I was getting my upper body lower than what's in the photos. When I raced 20+ years ago, everyone hung off, now you simply lower your upper body. Not only does it take less energy, but you can lean the bike even more.

I can hardly wait for Feb/Mar to get here.

Dude, that isn't you Pete. You hired the Stig to race for you, didn't you!?

Lol, looking good bro.

Do the black numbers mean full race license/participant down there too?

Great shots btw

 

[ozzieboy]

Nice shots, and nice looking bike. I'm thinking of a track day soon myself.....gotta get a track bike. Lol.

Sweet shots Pete... how's that new race bike treating you?

Get a used R1.



$400 for race plastics apparently and you're good to go.

Thanks Lone.

I'm pretty sure that yellow background is for a Novice, white would be Expert. This bike was last raced in the Utah Sportbike Association; I don't know their rules. They're painted on so they are staying.

Hey David! So far so good, I really love the bike, very fun and super fast.

You've got to get a quick shift set up and a slipper clutch for your GSXR, simply amazing. You think and the bike responds.

I found that with the track bike I try a little hard because I'm not afraid of ruining my street bike.

It is also much easier to go fast on a bike that is set up correctly for the track.

Done any track days recently? I really had fun at Willow. Hard to believe that was about 18 months ago...time flies.

Lol, now everyone will hold you to high standards when they see your numbers on the bike. Better get quick fast! The camera takes off 10mph as readily as it adds 10lbs.

I'm hoping this is true. We'll find out next summer! But last season I didn't get any track days because I couldn't afford risking a wreck on my only bike.

Man...I really need to get out on the track. I have not been back since then. I plan on getting to a track late Spring 2011 and riding hard.

Time flies, huh?

That was a pretty awesome day. Great to have met you guys there.:thumbup:

Glad to hear it! I've had the gixxer's suspension completely redone and tuned by Catalyst suspension this summer, and haven't even tried it on the track yet! :spank:

John and I have been out to the track a couple of times since Big Willow with you guys, but not in the past few months.... I got a big promotion at work, and between that and the kids, it's been nuts since September :thumbup:

I am hoping to go early next year though... something has to happen

You'll really like the reworked suspension, it makes a huge difference.

Congratulations with the promotion! I understand about being busy, I finally just blocked the time out for the track.
