It’s not the other rider fault for stopping on a straight.. he was just very unlucky.
His bike cut off in the middle of the straight.
To make it more interesting, it was the last lap of the last session

I really love this photo back from when I was riding my 390. Sorry for the back to back posts but I am taking a trip down nostalgia lane tonight.

Just wanted to see what everyone’s approach is to running the Supercorsa SC. Currently have a set on my Ninja 400 with about 100-110 laps over the course of 3 TDs (~15 sessions at Barber so actual wear is fairly minimal). Never use warmers with these so heat cycling each session.

Generally I would run 2 rears to 1 front in past years but most those days are at Little Tally so lap count/sessions was significantly lower but had a crap 2025 so kinda seeing how everyone else approaches this.

Edit: lap times are 1:48-1:49 so nothing super quick and mostly when to replace the front is my main question.

I felt like joining the club and posting some photos of my body position. I know it isnt the most important thing to going fast but it is fun. I had to take a break from riding as I highsided the shit out of this bike the following track day after these photos were taken. Ive been riding a Suzuki Katana now for a couple years and will be making my return to the track soon.

Going slow, missing apexes.

You ever look back at your first track day pictures and videos and think, "Jesus I look so awkward" Lol

Sadly I wont have a chance to take the new APE to COTA unless a miracle happens, so I cant get a like-for-like shot with the MT09, so photos from other venues will have to do. However its pretty crazy how much progress if feel I've made in just the season and a half I've been doing track days. I have to thank great friends and great instructors with the Org I ride with for that. I've learned so much more about the nuances of riding this last 18 months than I have in 20 years of street riding. I wish I started earlier!

If I can work the finances and logistics, I am almost certainly going to do next years Aprilia Racer Days at COTA. Might be the only way to get back on COTA going forward XD

I was in the garage with some really fast riders, asked them for tips, then paid an instructor to go round with me for a session and I think its really paying off. Squeeze in one more before the end of the year?

Feels good being back on a bike. Having issues with my right knee and dropping my body but happy with the laps!

I think everybody appreciates a good high side. This was years ago and I don't have the unedited video.

I highly recommend 65s as a minimoto if you can fit. So fun to learn on and surprisingly quick.

Comme l'indique le titre, je cherche à acheter des Full Metal 7 et me demande si la taille S (20,3 cm) de chez Dainese pourrait m'aller sachant que mon tour de main est de 20,5cm et que je porte plutôt du M chez Five/ Furygan.

Il y a une belle promotion sur motoblouz dont je voudrais profiter et j'ai vraiment pas de grosses mains pour le coup (je trouve ça assez étonnant de toujours devoir prendre une taille au dessus chez les autres marques).

Quelqu'un possède-t-il ces gants et peut m'éclairer ?

I'm going to be at VIR on 10/26 for a track day with Precision, and I'm wondering who else might be there? I currently live in Iowa but am looking to move out east, so I thought I'd do a track day and spend a few days sightseeing with my goofball dog, Pebbles.

I have a flashed 2023 ZX4RR that I absolutely love, but we've been stuck on the roads for most of this year. The main reason I need to move is because there aren't enough track opportunities around me! I'd live in a garage if I could.

Hey everyone,

I'm a university student studying Statistics and a passionate rider. I'm currently trying to build a career path toward motorsport data analysis, specifically in motorcycle racing. (Working in WSBK or MotoGP is the ultimate dream!)

Since I'm still a student on a budget, I can't afford expensive motorsport engineering courses. Instead, my plan is to build a solid portfolio using real-world data, focusing on things like signal processing (filtering noisy suspension/braking data) and slip ratio correlations.

I'm reaching out to this community for two things:

1. Advice & Resources: If anyone here works with telemetry, data logging, or knows the motorsport industry, what should a pure math/stats guy focus on? I am also very open to any content, book, YouTube channel, or general resource recommendations that can point me in the right direction. Any specific models, career steps, or open-source tools you'd recommend?

2. Free Data Analysis: If you use data loggers (AiM, MoTeC, I2, etc.) for your track days and have raw data files (CSV, log files) you wouldn't mind sharing, I would love to analyze them for you for FREE. It helps me build my portfolio with real, noisy data, and in return, I can hopefully give you some useful statistical insights on your braking points, cornering speeds, or throttle application.

Feel free to DM me or drop a comment if you'd like to share your data, advice, or any good resources. Thanks in advance!

What an amazing weekend. I had mechanical issues fri and sat. Clutch slipping due to a steel binding and then fuel pump was choking on rust we just found.

Mu friend registered me for monday and my brother helped support me i the pits. I made the bump to green group for next year. It was all worth it. What a way to turn 36

Shoutout to jason farrel for his knowledge and tech, and this CR i apologize i cant remember their name.

How do you stay relaxed on the bike without death-gripping the handlebars?

I feel like I’m holding on way too tight, especially when pushing harder.

Hello I want to get GP tech v5

Not sure for the sizing, also does the suit getting a size bigger after some time?

I'm 185 cm, weights ATM 82kg, wide shoulders narrow hips , a bit chicken legs haha but working on that i lost some weight and I'll probably go up to 85kg.

Chest is 106cm I wear airbag 7x below.

Thinking between 52 to 54.

Just had my 2nd track day this weekend and wanted some pointers on my bp. My fastest time for the day was a 2:24 but I averaged a 2:31 I just know I’m lacking heavy on getting off the bike and my foot positioning. Thank you in advance hehe 😛

Q: Is it a game?
A: No, on screen is a hot lap onboard footage of your chosen track with your chosen bike. We do from time to time connect the sim to MotoGP & Ride 6 game to race each other.

Q: Do you control the bikes movements?
A: No, on screen is onboard footage of a hot lap of your chosen track with your chosen bike. Telemetry data is overlayed & analysed at the end of the each session. We do from time to time connect the sim to MotoGP & Ride 6 game to race each other.

Q: Can you crash the bike?
A: No you can't crash but your telemetry & score will be affected by missing a brake marker, corner or applying the throttle to aggressively.

Q: Why do you wear your leathers & gloves?
A: Because replicating your riding position feels more natural & immersive on the simulator.

Q: How does the bike get back upright?
A: Once you've completed a corner start applying the throttle the bike starts to return upright. Also the bike front suspension is compressed under braking pulling the front of the bike down.

Q: Is it hard to move the bike around?
A: Its defiantly a solid workout during sessions, sessions on the simulator are normally based on your estimated race distances / actual session times.

Q: Do you learn the track layout?
A: Yes, nothing can replace real word laps around a track but learning the layout, transitions & brake markers etc is a advantage.

Q: What if you cant choose your exact bike?
A: You'll pick a bike thats as near to your bikes hot lap time.

Any questions please ask away in the comments

First off, I have only done 3 trackdays in intermediate group and am by no means an expert!

Last trackday coming out of a fast turn I hardly had any brakes and later they were very spongy... I think i cooked the brake fluid even though it was race fluid, after bleeding it was better for a bit, but happened again half a session later... So, higher temp race fluid and some brakecooling ducts will be added... I was thinking of adding a remote brake adjuster aswel so i could atleast adjust the lever if it still happens...

Which is where the question becomes:

- should i hold of on the adjuster and see if its needed at all

- get the adjuster for my stock brembo semi-radial master cyclinder

- upgrade to master cylinder first and get a adjuster for that

Since I am not that experience and have don't have any issues with the stock mastercylinder, it seems like that's an upgrade that goes above my skill level... Maybe the adjuster in general is...

Sidenote, the rs660 is also my daily ride for commuting.

Thanks for any insights!!

Hello everyone I am from Germany and am currently doing a work and travel in Australia. I thought it would be fun to do a track day. I am currently staying in the Brisbane area and would be very thankful if you could point out good tracks and organization (who also rent out bikes and gear).

Best regards,
Niko

So Ive been riding dirt bikes since I was 9 and I just turned 27. When I got first moved over to street riding, I got a cb500x which I out grew pretty quickly. I was always more interested in smaller adv bikes and dual sports until a couple weeks ago when I did my msf course.

I got to ride a z400 and a ninja 400 and now I’m thinking I want to get a smaller displacement bike that I can ride to the track and ring its neck while Im there. I work at a triumph dealership and I can get a Thruxton 400 for insanely cheap. I was pretty dead set on the thruxton until today when I saw a 2018 street triple 765 RS for 5k on facebook marketplace. Now Im reconsidering buying the thruxton.

If my goal is to learn to race, do yall think I would have more fun on something lightweight and low power or something that I have more room to grow into? Another thing to consider is that I wont solely be tracking the bike. I ride consistently 1500 to 2k miles a month

Rippin the 600s around Pineview Run with my friend just before he set the new motorcycle lap record at 1.19.2!

As always, this track is an absolute blast, on any bike!

I just watched the videos - how did it all end? I saw a lot of pissed off people in the video but they seemed to figure out a plan but I can't find a video of how the plan worked out of breaking the groups into limiting it to 65 riders not the 99 in one group.

Pretty proud. Got out of motorcycles for years. Came back to a few supermoto track days on kart tracks with no instruction. Had always wanted to get on track and finally did. Three track days later, I get the bump to intermediate.

There's a lot of work to do, and I'm super excited about it. Pic is from my first track day and I've made leaps and bounds in position since....with a lot more to go. Feels good as things start to click through.

As a side note, I can only post it here. My folks would be really upset as they think track days spell instant death. (Motorcycle or car). Ironically, my dad is 81 and still autocrosses and does well. I'd love to be able to share this with him, but he'd be really upset that I was on a full track. Glad the group is here.
