Talking This bike makes me a better rider at Laguna Seca

I have to say that I'm very impressed with the stock bike. I was able to out-brake many Ducatis there in B+ group, I could go WOT at the apex and would out-accelerate all of them. I just need to practice but the bike is perfect. I did have the suspension set up at the track and it made a great bike an awesome bike.

I hate you west coast people. I can't ride for another week or three, so I'm coming this weekend all the way from Minnesota.

Did the bike ever slip under WOT or did it track 100% of the time?

Once but the bike recovered itself. I felt a little wobble. BTW I was in race mode.

Looks like a lot of fun but I have to ask, why do your mirrors have tape and the lights don't?

Also, nice lid, what kind is it?
