Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

i was about to say did i miss something!?

 

Not really, I had asked if anyone had heard from him lately as his last posts were from October 5 and he was usually pretty active in this thread. Appears he just got busy with other stuff.

 

RC390 was made for the track, and you will have that kinda of money in any trackbike. Yeah you can find a 2.5-3k older bike to track. But you would be very hard pressed to find a newer track able bike. Don’t worry about the scratches, that’s part of tracking. Just remember it’s not about top speed, it’s all about flow, and becoming a better rider.
It’s easy to get sucked in on the track by other faster riders, but when you begin it best to get your flow down first. Speed comes with time in the seat.

 

i wanna be like a fish and jump up the waterfall thou

 

ah gotcha makes sense.

 

It's partial Bruce Lee quote.

 

but i wanna be the fish!

 

True, but I already have the track ready Daytona as well… so I’m trying to decide which one I want to use.

 

smaller cc would be my go to but thats me lol i dont really care for high cc bikes since i know what ill do with it and we all know its not smart lol

 

I just don't have interest in the track at this point. I need to get better about practicing, but I feel like practicing the slow speed stuff will help me more. I don't speed, I don't crave the canyons to go carving, so just making sure I don't fall over is my goal for now.

 

When are you getting a Grom!?

 

I've always heard you can learn more riding a slow bike fast. Risk is lowered, costs are usually lower, and the small KTM is still streetable.

 

Honestly, To what end? A grom legitimately has no value to me vs the CB500X. I'm a lame rider so idk what I'd use a grom for.

 

haha we have a few tracks out here for bikes but not really anything for supermotos sadly we be a bit slow lol. a buddy who tracks has seen a couple show up but not many so id be interested in it one day but race leathers aint cheap...

 

you just want everyone to have a grom dont you lol

 

I'm not opposed if I can come up with a legit purpose..... and a garage. I need a garage if I want more than one bike.

 

So Eicma is going on. I see no R9. Disappointed, yet again.
