Default I need to go to the Track :(

I got a fresh set of slicks sitting in my living room right now - gottem from Sportbike Tire Service (David was awesome to work with!!). And my Ohlins rear shock is on it's way from TJ over at Rider's Discount... not for the S1, but for my track/race bike (R6). Now I just need warmer weather and April to arrive soon. Hopefully I can get it dialed in (suspension) quickly. TJ was extremely helpful as was Mike (Thermosman) from Ohlins... between the two of them, the shock should be at a good starting point... then just need to fine tune from there.

Can't wait!!

Just to stir a little doing one in the morning but its way too hot here 38c and possibly rain ,luckily we can ride all year round but only get to do track days when work roster lines up
Jealous of the slicks,i am chasing spare set of rims for this,just fitted some EBC HH pads as the ones i ordered from DK got sent to someone elses adddress,hopefully these work well with the Galfer rotors and RCS19 Brake Master

Sure... rub it in

Sometimes I wish I could ride all year round (Like this year). Normally I enjoy the winter, but that's when we have good snow and I can go boarding/skiing... this year has sucked, so all I've thought about is the track and boating Neither of which will make it here soon enough

One more for ya, my next track day is next Sunday the 6th. The extended forecast is upper 50's and sunny skies. I run 12 month's out the year getting smaller groups in these colder months. We have another new track who's Grand Opening is scheduled for June 5th which will give us 2 tracks in the area offering 2 track days a month.
