Took Gauge out on the NSR last night to do some parking lot drills. Had him doing circles working on body position and just told him to keep tightening them up and going faster.
Next thing I hear is grinding.
He took 1/4 inch off the end of the pegs, toe sliders are trashed and he drug knee in a circle for about 4 laps. He had the back tire sliding out like crazy and never let out. I damn near cried.
It was almost dark and dint have the camera but we're going out again tonight so I'll get some pics. We came home and leaned the bike over to see how far he had to be to drag pegs and the damn bodywork was almost touching.
PICS!

Looks like MV Agusta's production of endless amounts of special edition F4s is continuing with the new variant. Not like I mind. I've probably drooled over every one. The Senna version from years ago is still one of my all time favorites. ]]>
KAWASAKI have unveiled their self-hyped 2011 ZX-10R race bike at the Nurburgring circuit, Germany.
The images give us our best pictures yet of what the 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R road bike will look like.
Here's what Kawasaki have to say about it:
The all-new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R race bike has been unveiled to the international press at the
Nürburgring racetrack, in advance of the full launch of the production machine in early October.
The new Ninja ZX-10R race bike has been eagerly anticipated by everyone involved in the Superbike
racing project for a while now and therefore the Kawasaki Superbike Racing Team are extremely keen to get started with the new Ninja ZX-10R.
Steve Guttridge, the Race Planning Manager from Kawasaki Motors Europe, said of the new bike and the timing of the ‘sneak preview’ of the racebike version of the Ninja ZX-10R, “The new race bike has been eagerly anticipated by everyone involved in the Superbike racing project for a while now. The PBM team have evolved and restructured continuously in order to be in a position to utilise the new bike's potential to the maximum next season. As you can imagine the Paul Bird team are ultra keen to get started with it and so who better than the team itself to help us show the first edition of the race version of it here at the Nürburgring?”
The new superbike has already been put through development testing by noted WSB racers Akira Yanagawa and Tom Sykes, where the pairing, thankfully, found the new machine to be more responsive and better handling than the existing 10R.
The production model will be launched at the Intermot show in October.

Still have no idea who the guy is. :pissed ]]>
Most likely a Marine from Camp Pendleton. Cops are extremely vigilant when it comes to ticketing sport bikes down there. Too many Marines getting killed.
I'm pro-LEO but chasing these kids isn't gonna help lower the death rate.

I don't mean engine heat, I mean ambient temperature. You know how the bike mags correct everything to 59F degrees and certain barometric pressures, etc.... just curious. ]]>
