Does anyone else here race this game online? Wavex and I have regular sessions and it would be great to see some other FZ6 members join us.
Post here if interested, or send me a FR to "Moldmaker".
Re: Socal racers, unite! - May 25th - Willow Springs
It was great meeting Pete (Hellgate) and his wife, seeing oso2k and his wife again and spending a couple of days with Nate (Defy) talking bikes and other things. Pete and Nate each took their time warming up to the layout and pace of Willow...
The best day I've ever spent at a track WITHOUT riding!
Lots of stories to tell and images to share. Both will have to wait til tomorrow, it's been a long day. Huge thank you to oso2k and his fiance for the hospitality, which set the tone for the past 24 hours. They went out of their way to...

I'll have my stopwatch in hand and should be able to give everyone a good idea of where they are running. Under 1:50 will be quick, under 1:40 is really good, under 1:35 and you have no fear of speed.
Turn 8 is very fast but you'll be...

Go intermediate, it's what all the cool kids are doing!
Seriously, it's where you belong. You can still learn the track early in the day and run the pace you want once you become comfortable. It's really not a technical track.
Re: Socal racers, unite! - May 25th - Willow Springs
I've never run with this org before so I don't know how it will be for the suspension setup. If you have your values from other events you'll be fine to start the day as you'll be learning the track in the first session. Sag won't change...

No noise restrictions at all for this track. Here is the prep requirements for Hypercycle: faqs
Beyond their list, it's important to have tires in new or near perfect condition. This track is all about very high speed right-hand turns...

Thank you very much for your hospitality Louis, I appreciate it. Looking forward to a nice bench racing session.
BTW, anyone interested in some nice tequila? I can fulfill that part...
Yes, I've watched the first 3 episodes. I am a bit disappointed in the content, they seem a bit like extended promotional products. You can watch clips of the shows online:
Discovery Turbo Channel :: Beyond
Overall, it's better than American Karaoke, Bullrun, etc...
I have bought parts from this distributor in the past, their office is about 20 miles from me. They have great prices and quick service and I would buy from them again.

Yes Pete, the 2.5 mile "Fastest Road in the West"
If you decide to make the trip, PM Wavex or myself and we'll be sure to make scheduling adjustments to meet up with you.
Re: Socal racers, unite! - May 25th - Willow Springs
That would rock! It's a great track and you don't have to enter the Los Angeles area to get there.
Hope you can make it!
For those of us in the United States, a new series premiers tonight on HD Theatre that shows an inside view of the different manufacturers of the motorcycle industry.

I am truly blushing from all of the nice things that have been posted. I'm just an old dude doing a trackday, but I try to get better each time out. On the day these pics were taken I was able to shave 3 seconds off my previous best so the effort is worth it!
Again, thank you very much for...
