I've got a busy early June - but this weekend I could make time for a morning ride on Saturday... or late June.
So I shelled out and picked up a dedicated track bike. The F4 is back on street duty, and the new bike (CBR 600RR) is my track only bike....
Keep an eye out for road closures... check out Killboy's webpage - seems that the road is closed until they can fix a rock slide hazard.
I forwarded it along to him - good luck :D

It probably takes awhile to show who is logged out... I wouldn't worry about it.
Uh my 600 CBR runs 6000 RPM on the highway too - it just revs out to 14,000 RPM. For a 2000 model sport bike... you're looking at 3000-4500....
several places... I got mine from somewhere else... I believe Chacal also has it.
What is the fewest miles you ever got out of a tire? This one lasted 150 km... so about 90 miles. On the right side notice a swath 1" wide...
Oh that ROTS... I'm not going as far as that with my trailer unfortunately otherwise I'd grab it for you...
It depends on the track. For the track I go to I must: - tape lights - change coolant to water/wetter However most of us: - remove...
dear lord... if it ain't red, it ain't dead :D There was a bit of buzz around 5500 but 6000+ was very nice 4500 was about as low as I...
what are those rims for - have a very similar curve as the CBR F4 rims I'm looking for :D
I agree he was holding back... looks as if he was filming the car.
I told my bike about the 'ring... and she seemed pretty excited to try it. I'm still not sure I'd dare... even when I know the track generally....
yes almost certainly km/h.
and yes you have to be a little off. Not a millesecond do I think of the bike, my day, or fears of wrecking. The only thing I'm doing is...
Racing in the rain takes practise. You have more traction than you think, but often it seems that still isn't enough :D What surprises people...
Pretty cool - I think the R1 must have been filming that car as you could tell he never fully opened the throttle and had a couple of places where...
Huh - never heard of it - but it is showing up on google as a naked sport bike...
My CBR F4 makes an HONEST 100 rwhp... the F4 will vary between 92-95hp stock, up to 105hp in race trim. The current 600s are making 110 rwhp -...
Sadly the parts value is probably worth more than $600... I just got laid off otherwise I'd be sending you two checks. One for the bike and one...
Rest in peace Bill. Although we never met in person, I always enjoyed our exchanges. You will be missed.
That's no fun... :-/ Why Sydney? Too bad it wasn't down here we could take it apart :D
Sure sounds good
It'll never happen unless we pick a time/place... what's the weekend looking like?
If you do plan on meeting up - PM me - I'm in... bike is on the street until Friday when it might be back on the track... then August the inlaws...
