Doesn't look like he's scraping the pegs but I'd be fucked if I'd crank a beautiful looking bike like that over all the way either!!

Not that I've ever cranked any bike all the way over

Aha, not in canberra, but up the road in Goulburn!

and I can say that my body is absolutely rooted today!

re scraping of pegs.... nope, but i did almost shit myself when my right knee kissed the surface of the track when I was trying to keep up with one of the fast group dudes! it barely made a mark on my slider but damn i lifted that thing back off the track so quickly it wasn't funny! Then I realised what had happened! And thought damn you moron!

Hhahahaha killer.

Next time out you will probably rip the sliders up nice and good, so nothing to worry about.

Well mate, I have to say that your bike certainly looks prettier than mine at my last track day. Want to swap?

My bike felt like crap at the last track day. My brakes were spongey because I did PI and a trackday at Mallala on the fluid in them, even had the lever go all the way to the bars at one stage.

My front tyre is so badly scalloped that when you tip it into a corner it gets to a point where the bloody thing just tips over so quickly it scares the crap out of you.

And I decided to check my pressures at the end of the day. 25 front and 36 rear. Probably should have done that before I went out.

Didn't matter tho, I had a good day.

Swab, looked like you were enjoying the ride... Can't wait for the oportunity to do the track thing...

Oh and what is the color of your bike? Is that a factory paint or did you do that yourself?

Cheers

Awesome colour! Toyed with the idea of buying one myself. Even thought about giving up the blue for it.
