Come on, I can't kick him while he's down. Gotta wait for him to start getting up first....
But ya, you know what I meant.

Yeah, it was a pretty good crash fest, mostly in green and yellow today. Track conditions were solid, weather was even better.
Think John Deere gives you a discount if you buy spare parts in bulk?
To be fair, this is the 3rd crash on that tire... which is suspect. Tim was putting down a good pace right from the get go.

Actually, racing those Spyders would be a riot... I've ridden one and they're so different... kind of neat though.
As for high siding, apparently their built in stability system is pretty advanced, to that would be hard to do. But, since you can't lean, the rider's body might decide to go flying...

Glad to head you're ok!
I tried changing to GP Shift (Takes 30 secs on the R6) and it feels so much more natural, especially "downshifts". I'll need some time to work in proper upshifts as my muscle memory has me blipping the throttle which makes for some pretty embarrassing shifts. I'll be ordering the quickshifter tonight, I figure for <$200, it's well worth it

Tim's head is okay? Who says? haha...
Uhh, yeah, duh. Where have I heard this before?
I'm expecting you to show me how much faster it makes you this year. 
I think maybe you are using the wrong tires premier recommended these i think they are oem spec.

Nice tall sidewall for rim protection while riding across the bedrock.

From the bottom of my heart, you guys are jerks. hehehee.
Those tractor tires Steve mentioned might actually help. Add it to the list of considerations....

Umm... bad news, I decided to go back to regular shift pattern. My dad gave me a hard time about it and blah blah blah. Additionally, if I get used to GP shift, riding other bikes will be awkward. I'm placing the order for the QS now, should take a few seconds off my lap time right?
That's silly. Your Dad is wrong.Umm... bad news, I decided to go back to regular shift pattern. My dad gave me a hard time about it and blah blah blah.

My track bike has been GP shift for 10 years. My dirt bike hasn't and never will be (no linkage). It's not a problem. My brain has track mode and dirt mode. My motorcycles have the front brake on the right. My mountain bike has the front brake on the left. No problems...
CBR is GP, VFR is regular, its not a problem.
