That FZR600 went to a VRRA racer to be changed into an Endurance bike.

I'm not much of a drag racer, but here in Ottawa Capital City used to run "run what you brung" nights on fridays. $20 for unlimited runs, all funds went to charity. I was the only bike a few times, but it was fun. I started to bring my buddies out and it turned into a few hours of fun for $20...

I got my race licence when I was 12 for regionals. But if I remember properly you needed to have your parents sign off, and they had to be at the track at all times. Other than that I think the next level was 15, for nationals.

Out of curiosity. How many of the people on here (probably the biggest forum in Ontario) go and attend sanctioned motorcycle races? Whether it is CSBK, RACE, VRRA or SOAR. I know there are a lot of racers on here (actual racers not TD riders) and thats not who I am interested in...

Not touchy at all. But its loads of crap like that, which causes people to feel like they NEED a 600 minimum to go to the track. That they NEED to spend big money just to hit the track. When all you need is a $2500 250, and a set of tires to go out and enjoy.

That is such a crock of *****. A small bike will allow you to properly learn and hone skills like braking and corner speed. A bigger bike will let you learn how to ride improperly and cover it up by having HP. A lightweight bike will be perfect to learn on. a 250 and 300 are very well...

That guys is ****ing dreaming with his RZ. Its worth about $3500 whole. The Banshee motor is the same as the 350LC motor. They even run the same CDI. The RZ350 can be mated with a Banshee head easily. Guys in the UK do it all the time. And make RZ427cc YPVS which are stupid fun.

That is terrible advice.... A $130 CL-17 HJC is SNELL rated, and Sharp Rated 4 stars. That more than My $400 AGV K-3. More money doesnt mean a better helmet thats foolish.

CL-17 Baby!!

I am so confused by this post...

I dont feel like I can give you a proper answer, because I am not very fast. But I went from the PR3 to the Pilot Power 3, to the Dunlop Unbeaten to the Power RS. The RS had by far the most edge grip and lasted well. (Although the Nelson Round killed it pretty good) I was also the only...

Just to add... For those of us who are not as fast as Jim and can't keep the tire as hot as he does. The Power RS is a fantastic all around tire, it has the same compound as the Power Cup EVO, and in conditions like last year where there was often a little dampness on track, they offered lots...

Looks like the R3 racebike is going on the shelf for 2018. Only doing the SV this year. Lots of body work repair required.

It is up in the air. 2019 yes, 2018, maybe.

Its December 29th, Its -35C out, I open my curtains and see the Shed outside where the R3 and SV650 are parked, A tear forms in my eye, How many days until race season?

I doubt it. It will likely be Lightweight Supersport taking over for LWT production. And their bump class is Lightweight Sportsman.

The woodcraft ignition eliminator comes with very easy to read instructions in the box. Are you going racing or just Track days? If youre just doing TDs, why both switching to a 520 from a 525? same goes for gearing. A revalve will help a lot. Suspension should be serviced yearly anyways...

R3- New tires (already in garage) New brake pads New race exhaust Race Bodywork SV650- New tires New brake pads Larger rear sprocket Power Commander (currently running full pipe, and K&N with no PC) Hopefully slipper clutch

How can you say for sure that Sete, Max, Barros etc were all bad racers? How can you even compare them? Different Bikes, different tires, etc... Sure Rossi blitzed them all, but was that because they were bad riders? Or was Rossi that good? Think about the changes that went on between 1999...

Seems to me, with what corners they repaved, that they want to run the Long track at Nationals again! It has been a long time since that happened. Corner 4B Long Corner 7 Long Corner 9 Long And corner 5 Nelson Track all got fresh pavement.
