    Track tire pressures and spring loads

    Jennings was where I got to do my track day. Road up there, took off the panniers, lowered tire pressure, taped lights had a blast then put panniers back on pumped up tires and rode home. Yes I would find the person running the track day and ask them for advice or perhaps another rider on a...

    Track tire pressures and spring loads

    Not sure of the exact numbers but yes lower your tire pressures. I think mine were lowered to 25ish by the person running the track day. They worked great ! This was on a bmw r1150gs though. Jennings GP ? Awesome track !

    Goodbye KTM hello KLR

    The KiLleR is one of the most under rated motorcycles . Everyone should own one at some point. I had an '89 that I loved. Eventually gave it to a friend in need. Enjoy your beautiful new ride ! has it had the doohickey upgraded ? If not do it cheap and easy insurance.

    Warming up the engine?

    If below 70 degrees outside I will wait longer. Sometimes leaving work the temp is already at 104 upon startup from sitting in the sun all day. Yarg, Florida in the summer is steamy.

    Le Tour de France - anyone into it?

    Unfortunately ,in my opinion,a very very dirty sport. Those not caught are keeping one or two steps ahead of the testing. Pretty sure lots of $$ being spent to appear clean . That being said I will not miss a single stage and will have withdrawls when it is over. Love love love...
