Mudpuppy · 04-23-2008, 09:58 PM

nice.. last track day i did i talked my brother-in-law just coming out to watch.. i was like bro you should get a track bike and come out with us.. i, of course, encourage everyone to ride the track.. and he was definitely interested.. i was like shit you can get a track bike for like $3,000.. no insurance, no plates, no cycle endorsement.. he was like fuck i am getting a horse trailer and of course i was saying how easy wheel chocks are to install and remove for horse trailering.. man was my sister pissed at me when he called and told her he was buying a track bike.. lol.. i need to go over there this weekend on my bike with the video he took and stir it back up..

he used to ride from new jersey to nashville every weekend on a kawasaki 750 back in the day.. he would be in heaven at the track.. for sure..

He's an only child. Right, that is my little sister in the picture.

The fun part is, they just bought new bikes... He got a 2008 1000RR, and she got an SV, downsizing from her FJR.

That is pretty awesome, and the smile is priceless. I know I'm grinning like an idiot every time I'm on the track! I wish I could find the pic I have of me riding back in on the crash truck, believe it or not I am smiling about that big from the adrenaline!

OK, Azoom, I want to talk shop with you a little bit. I have run Pirelli's (both Dragon Slicks and Supercorsa Pro's) and Michelin (2ct's and Power Races) at the track, and I want to try a set of the Bridgestone BT-002RS' next time I'm on the track. ($240 a set for the B-Stones vs $370 a set for Power Races!) I might be wrong but the pics look like that's what you're running, what do you think of them? How do they compare to other tires you've run?

I get them from my Bridgestone rep, trackside vendor. I have run the others - I haven't cared for Dunlops. Well, no... they are great and get up to temp well. But, when they go they are just GONE. I mean booger and gone gone FAST. The 002Race take that to another level - I've been very happy with them. The Pirelli's don't seem to ever get up to temp as well as the others, and I won't ever run Michelin again after two sets of their tires fell apart on me....

what kind of michelins fell apart on you? that's messed up.. i found the dunlops wear out quick.. probably good if you are a factory racer... bad if you are a return your beer cans to get to the track addict..
