Old and busted:



New hotness:



Just picked her up this weekend (http://www.nesba.com/TrackTalk/bb/Forum4/HTML/007450.html). 2006 R6, huge mod list including Ohlins Road & Track forks

Like an idiot I rode it w/o checking it first and found out the fucking axle and pinch bolts weren't tightened down properly from the previous owner since he just redid the fork oil and I came back from a track session w/ the axle sticking out over an inch

Nice ride Gu! Are you going to rock that thing at RA next weekend?

Looks like they're already on there painted to match.

okay gu daddy.. with that new bike I expect a minimum of 2:30 at Road America next week and a 1:13 at BHF. If you do not hit those times, you owe me $50.
thank you

High or mid 1:13's at Blackhawk I think I can do. I was in low 15's last time I raced there on the 636 and can definitely identify places where I can cut another second and a half... so far the damned R6 feels like crap though but I only rode it at Iowa Speedway w/ springs in the front that are way too soft for me and that track has nothing but slow corners. Hopefully it feels better after I respring it and fuck around some more with the suspension.

I don't see how its possible to go lower than 1:12's on a 600 at Blackhawk though... guys running 10's and 9's even are nuts, I can't even imagine how a lap like that would feel.

What I really want to do next time is get down to high 16's on my SV... now that would be an accomplishment

When you gonna show up at the races?

You should be doing 17s on that SV. 16 is probably the fastest I've seen from any SV that didn't belong to Ed Key, Brian Lacy, or Jesse Janisch. So how about the 2:30 at Road America?

RA I don't have a freaking clue. The last time I was there I just got bumped to I group w/ NESBA and I was running all of 2:57's on a 600. Heading out in a couple hours though so we'll find out. I'm going to get owned in LW though w/ my 100% stock motor
