THats my back yard boys :!: That fat ass should of come off the bike more and set up that suspension for that heavy ass of his :D Theres wrecks there daily and the cops have gotten so bad that you really have to take a gamble at being there. But one things for sure its premo for riding. They ought to close it down just for sport bikes :wink:

:finger: Rub it in why dont ya :!: That guy was getting lazy. His knees were tight to the bike in every turn and he was'nt picking himself up to shift from one side to another. If you are to tired to do that, you should slow down.

Yea but did you notice that he probably weighed aroun 280 to 300 lbs. Now you know that he cant move that much weight around all that well :D

I ride with a guy that weighs 300lbs and ill tell ya he is freckin fast. He truly believes that his extra weight makes the bike stick better :roll: but he has crashed the last two times theyve gone to the track. :D

By the way those guys doing the vid arent even fast. Ive seen fast there and there not it :wink:

somewhat true. When I used to ride 2 up I was able to hit almost All my turns 10mph faster because of less skipping.
The weight Did help with the handling but when it came to flicking it that's a whole different world. turns and sweeps yeah chicanes and swithcbacks uhh... no.

Well I duno but all I do know is that if your not on your game that day he is gonna run off and leave you in all the curves mentioned. I will say that at the end of the day his tires look like hammerd shit and mine look like a good track day. :wink:

My tires would always be decent for some reason and my friends that would get rolloffs would still be behind me. it's just a funny riding style I have, kinda like always on top of it until I have to work my weight down and forward . I'd still get about 2k out of a tire before I'd have to change my riding to compensate for a less safe tire track. but... ymmv (your mileage may vary)

AND HAHAHAHAHA I finally got to watch that vid.(finally at home) and the guy broke loose and then did nothing to correct the slide and just said ,what it looked like to me was, "oh,hell." and then went down for the count.......

it was over before it started.

I've had them slides and have just used throttle control and fluidity and have only lowed two out of ... hmmm.... hmmm I'd say more than I can remember.
funny vid. :lol:

Like your new avitar, is that you going around in circles? Is that the day you lowsided trying to get your knee down in the parking lot? :D
