Hey, I was out at that trackday with you. Dirt-colored Avalanche, black 675, blue Teknic leathers.

I must've gotten some bad 003s because I absolutely hated them at the track. They slipped so soon they felt like touring tires. I couldn't even get them hot enough to look like yours.

You say you've only done 8 trackdays? Fast learner for sure or you're young. lol
Not much to look through at the exit of 1 and the begining of 2. Most of the turns, like 3, 4, 5a/b and 8 I'm looking through pretty good. You ever run LVMS? My best is 1:26.4 there.

I was on the street versions. I only used warmers before the first session. I was running 30/30 cold. Maybe you might have a suspension issue?

Handles fine on GP-As. I've had Dave Moss / Cyclemall set it up and there's no better guy for a 675.

Hmmmm. Maybe because mine were brand new that day or something. Because street tires turn to shit after being rode hard for a track day or two.

Set it up or rework it? I hear the 675s are hard to get setup correctly.

I've heard that as well, they need more trail... unstable.

Just did it today with the Pridmore school. I have one pic of him and me riding. Don't laugh until your ridden on the back of an AMA pro rider when you tell him to haul ass. He was passing people in the Advanced group like they were standing still. You just have to experience how fast he can go with 2 people.

You will absolutely love the track. It flows so smoothly....about a 45-90mph track, minus the front straight here I can hit about 100 (Pridmores best was 134). I only used 2-4th gears, but rarely 4th at that. Def. my favorite of the three tracks I ride. Will ride again soon.
