Haven't been on for awhile and thought I post some recent pics of my trackday--Buttonwillow, CA., August 2-3rd
Weather was a good 100+ but despite the heat I had an awesome time. Oh, Saturday wasn't so good--out of 8 or 9 sessions we only had 1 or 2 complete sessions where a crash didn't occur. Sometimes even 2 crashes in one session. People riding well beyond their limits and taking horrible lines. I had 3 guys RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME crash. Always wondered if I would target fixate if someone in front of me crashed...nope. Just said, "Hope he's okay...next corner plz!!!"
Anyhow, it was a POACH-FEST for the Ninja250R!!! We probably had one or two crashes total. Plenty of track time and I was poaching 600ccs like a mofo.
Btw, the stock BT045s are shot. And what I mean by that is they suck. At my first trackday @ Streets of Willow they held pretty good but I wasn't really pushing it. Here @ Buttonwillow with the throttle pinned throughout most of the turns I felt the tires slide. I'll be upgrading the tires soon.
Onto the pics: Don't you love my new gear setup? F'in awesome!!!

Oh, and before I forget those damn stock rearsets suck!!! I was dragging toe slider all over the place! 1 up 1 back won't do crap. We need fully adjustable rearsets!
