lmao...pocket bike.....

yes....i do tend to make bikes look small......that tends to happen even on the 1krr....



the r6 was surprisingly comfortable.....i never really got used to the power band.....something about having a bike spun up so high in the rpm's just does not suit well with me....

this track is full of traction......was able to go faster and faster and faster through all the corners.....with the exception of the cylcone (thats one wicked corner) throughout the two days.....never really felt like i was pushing it to hard.......i know if i was on the cbr i would have been going after it a lot more....but considering i was riding my friends race bike.....i didnt want to go to hard.....had tons of fun though

My thoughts were that the track was very smooth.....although I had never been there before the re-paving.....also I run at a track that is well known for the poor surface conditions......so anything is better than what I normally run at....


I can say that the inside line at t-3 can be bumpy along with being off camber.....really took till the middle of the second day to get comfortable with that corner.......otherwise I have no complaints with anything on this track.......t-3 and the off camber right hander after the cyclone are the two that made me check up ona regular basis......


and to actually answer your ?.....I am not sure about them shaving down the curbs.....
