    Track Day Jefferson

    Definitely have to be careful but when I took a 600rr out I was no better LOL! I have ridden for 20 years but sport bikes only the last 3 really and track only 3 times. I have a harley I ride to and from work so the gsxr gets little time. I come into the corners with the same speed as the...

    Track Day Jefferson

    https://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/ThumbPage....mp;g=03HV00GS27 These pics will be gone after 9/1. My favorite is pic 5 but I bought pic 8 for my wall to go with the pic of me on the cbr600rr. If anyone remembers this is the gsxr I traded smitty my fjr for. I put the gearing back to stock as it...

    Track Day

    I went to the track with someone who owns the ZX14 and he rode it on Jefferson. Would it be my choice as a track bike no but many have run the FJR on the track. My friend picked up an old F4 for about $600 and he rides the snot out of it on the track and leaves his YZF for the road. I would do...

    Track Day

    I have some friends who do Summit Main and have been trying to get me over there. I like Jefferson and to me is a fun little track but after VIR I will probably try the main out.

    Track Day

    It is definitely a blast. The first time out I was pretty nervous about not having any mirrors and what to expect from other riders. Key is to not make any sudden changes that those behind wouldn't expect. I try to keep my same lines every lap so if someone finds a way around me they can take it...

    Why I don't have an FJR anymore

    My brother-n-law took the course at his local Harley Davidson dealer in CO. Do they offer any MSF type classes at a HD dealer in your area?

    Track bike / liter bike Which to get and why

    I don't pretend to be an expert but I will add a few things i have noticed either riding tracks or watching others. I ride a 1.1 mile track on my 600 and I could ride the entire track in 2nd gear. Occasionally if I really wanted to beat someone down the straights I could change to 3rd and...

    Track Day

    This was my second track day at Summit point WV on the Jefferson. I did their free two sessions a few weeks ago and wanted to go again. Getting up and making tech in by 7:30am and making sure you have all your gear, keys, water, gatorade, food (opps forgot that) takes organization, lucky for me...

    Throttle Control Challange & Transmission non-shifts

    https://www.starmotorcycle.com/ Check out this vide of Jason Pridmore. Pay attention to the throttle % going into the corner and listen to the bike. He doesn't seem to use any maintenance throttle and you only start to hear it come off of engine breaking and onto throttle at the apex. I too...

    Putting my GSXR back together

    I hear ya. The zx is in its first year, a dual exhaust bike just like the fjr and Tsukigi came out with one for it very quickly. Took a long time to get one made for the fjr by a different company. A lot of guys use the zx for land speed and quarter mile stuff so not apples to apples I know...

    Putting my GSXR back together

    I knew you guys would appreciate the quality of these pipes. The inside welds are as perfect as the ones you see on the outside. https://www.tsukigi.com/aboutus_history.htm They have been around for 30years. Price for my entire system was under $800.00

    AOL Artificial Intelligence

    Yep, call your bank get a new number and close that one. I had a similar incident on my AMX card yet it was over $1000. The person created a paypal account using my card number and sent money to a different account. They said this is usually when you have handed your card to someone and they...

    Putting my GSXR back together

    I hope to get the radiator, sliders and PCIII installed this weekend and get it fired up. I am excited to hear the new exhaust. Anyone who has a zx14 should check out this exhaust. www.ZX14.net sells them and they are a work of art.

    why cops have guns in the USA

    Whip Wipe I think from the looks of how nicely they treated him they may have well have wiped his ass. Whipping his ass is what we would have done on this side of the pond! Oh, and in my youth I took a hammer to a car door glass once and I had to hit it at least 4 times for it to break. Of...

    RC51 - comments?

    Now you are talking, both bikes are great but I would have to say the SV. It has great suspension, many use it as a track bike, has good ergo's. That would be my choice but The Super Hawk is a cool bike.

    Concours Variable Valve Timing

    Jestal, you seem to have a real Hard on for the Ezboard. Give it a rest will ya! Jeese It is NOT Jestal that has a problem with EZboard. It's the self-appointed FJRforum recruiter Toecutter that continues to righteously throw rocks at EZboard. Relax, you guys know I typed the wrong name I...

    Handguns

    I hear ya, that's why I only it do it for 1 or 2 shots at the most and right back with the ear protection. Like everything, I figure it is good practice to at least remind my brain what it sounds like for real. Good luck with the .40 decision.
