Get a motard.

Last Sat at Thunderhill.

The thing was more than enough for that track, and if my skills were more up to par I would be railing even more. I was passing sportbikes no problem.... I even lapped this one guy on a 03' GSXR 1000 4 times in one 20 min session :rofl

Lost my friend who was following me a few times, but he caught up on the straights (08 CBR1k)

I hope one day you re-read this post and laugh about how slow you were, and how you used to compare yourself against other trackday riders (I've been there)
This is my first trackday:

and here is me mid this year (and I'm even a little embarrassed about my body position of this now..) ((Same turn)):

Oh and to keep on topic.. I love my motards. Yes I said that plural.


Yep, my KTM 450 EXC and my GSXR 750 had bike sex which produced a 2010 KTM 690 SMC......

Hard Core has to be plural.

Tracks are Plural, and the tard is best matched to the track.

My Faux Tard is giddy to Ebbetts Pass ( I mean Ebbetts track :laughing ). :thumbup
 
I have the same dopey LC4 SM from a few years before this thread. Love that thing, even if it shakes a wee bit.
 
690SM's are a little on the lardy side but are capable of doing the Sierras if you don't have plans to attend Homotoclub events right after a ride. The Pirelli Scorpion Trails work really well on the street and surprisingly well in the dirt for such a wimpy looking tire.

I wanna do that. That makes the Kart track look boring and extremely safe.

Just have a friend do the 5-4-3-2-1 finger thing at the beggining of Tunitias or Stage and another one with a checkered flag at the end. :thumbup:laughing
Shit, I'm gona have to try that now :rofl

I'll tell you what. We take turns waving the flag and counting.

Just let me pick up a 510 or 450 first.
 
Strange timing on the bump, got my 690 just shy of 3 years ago. Not a great all purpose bike but hard to beat on Ham or other goat trails and gets 50 MPG as a bonus. If only the tyres would last as long the oil and filter change interval, hell I'd settle for half as long.

I must be riding my 690 like a little old lady. I'm on my third oil change and about to replace the original tire with the same one (pic) after 4000miles. I don't like changing tires so I try to make them last.

I got the 17's to make it a tard but its more handy as an enduro.
