Dayum. What a freaking rush. We did the big track at Willow Springs. The track is really... really fast. Reached 140 down the straight . Due to so many wrecks (about 7 in total), I only got about two sessions out.

Anywho, here are some pics. Didn't touch down yet, but came fairly close for a track virgin and got rid of those damn strips.

 

pics. If you hang your arse (ass) off a bit more you would easily have your knee down, the bike is definitely over far enough, although you look to be sat a bit upright, relax a bit more

 

Nice pics!

I've gone as far down as I think one should go on a 954, but my knees never touch. I have really short legs, maybe thats why. I hang of the bike completely, but still never get my knee down. I don't really care about touching that ground, but the point of the knee touching is to help you guage your lean. One time I went too far, almost lost it...my whole leg touched the ground though maybe a nicer set of tires will fix the problem for me!

 

nice pics.
yea get off the seat and play monkey it really helps

i like ur suit.
shinny side up

 

stu,

hey did you see a guy on a kawi 636 there with a korean flag helmet in a blue astar suit? that's my buddy david and he was there yesterday. he also said it was a really quick track and also mentioned it was freakin cold.

oh hey i just picked up the same bike as yours but an 04. lets meet up sometime once i get used to this bike and once i get some insurance.

Man, there were so many bikes out there. I didn't see anyone with a K-flag helmet tho. I would have def. remembered if I did.

PM me anytime you want to ride. I'm still a newb too. Planning on going to Superbike school in April if you are interested.

 

Nice...

 

nice one stu

 

I was there, too bad my van and my motorcycle were stolen from Motel 6 the night before.

goodbye

 

let's hope you get insurance before you get used to this bike
