Anyone thinking of doing any more track days I think my back is finally going down and I'd like to hop back on before racing next year .
Not blaming the r6 my own mistake for crash she moved well handled lovely but I miss quickshifter really struggling without it and with a carb bike it's a bugger to get one on and working nicely . Waiting for rules to come out but gonna go for a new r6 or cbr600rr
I too struggle without a quickshifter, it was the one thing my bike didn't have when I got it, but it is on my winter project list. With the new bike you are looking at, I would certainly recommend an R6, but the CBR600 is a slightly rarer beast in the paddock. I have asked people why this is and it appears that they are hugely expensive to get more power out of. Instead of the CBR, I would look at a ZX6R. Have a look at the grids not just at club level, but at national level and it will be Yamaha, Kawasaki and a few Triumphs. Personally, I would stick to an R6.
Cheers buddy thinking about it your right don't see many cbr600rr s mmmmmm but I love the newer r6 06 on only rode mates but instantly felt quick on it only thing with zx6rs the newer ones don't crash well I have been told so a bit put off best of luck this weekend mate wish I was racing
Cheers Wedgie, will do my best this weekend. A mate of mine races a ZX6 and he had a pretty big crash on it this year, pretty much rebuilt it over night ready for racing the following day. I was surprised how much needed to be replaced on it, but I guess it is also down to how the bike lands and if it flips over. Certainly the R6 seems to be built like a tank, apart from the rear subframe, but I guess that is designed to shear off in certain circumstances. If you are looking at an R6, this would be a good bet: R6 2co racebike - Race Bikes for sale with V5 only - motoforum this is nice too, but depends on your budget: 2010 R6 Race Bike for Sale - Race Bikes for sale with V5 only - motoforum Having spent a year on the R6 (both the 2CO and 13S models) and my team mate has a 2CO model also, I think I know the ins and outs quite well now, so if you need any advice, just let me know.
Perfect thanks mate got a few quid under the bed but I'm gonna wait until the new rules etc come out as more series are supposedly being added
Never done a dry day at oulton ha ha shall I keep away lol . I'll see what I can sort out buddy might come for a wobble around just might need a few people to get me on and off bike ha ha
Be great if you can make it you will love the track (if its dry) still good in the wet if you can be arsed to change wheels . It will be like a retake of shaky in bsb with his crutches plenty of us there to help change wheels get on and of bike . My problem is I need a new rear tyre so do I 1.use the one I have on and run it like a slick as I was getting a lot of movement from it on wed ,done about 6-7 track days on it . 2.put a new slick on 3.put a new d212 on but then remove after 2 more track days at oulton as then I am in Jerez in November where I want to run new slicks for the 3 days . Decisions Decisions???
I will be missing 1 or 2 sessions due to me doing the Acu licence so i might just risk the one I have on unless the weather looks good then could be tempted on ??????? . Will wait and see. I hope you have no problems with your bike this time it would be good to have a few sessions with you . Weather looks sunny Tuesday according to met office which will mean its crap on Wednesday as that seems to be the case with my last few trackdays .
Well thanks to Jason & The Firebloke I was seduced last night whilst pissed up on red wine and won some spare wheels on Fleabay for my ZX10 complete with Slicks! That's 3 sets of wheels now, oh and the captive wheel spacers rocked up to today! Must find somewhere to hide em so the Wifey don't clock on!
Well that's just took the track addiction to another level 3 sets of wheels I don't think I have seen anyone at track with that many .I thought I had a bad addiction jay you got it really bad . The problem you will have now is making your bloody mind up which set to put on as you know what us blokes are like. Are you planning anymore trackdays? Like next Wednesday .
Zx10r wheels with slick tyres | eBay Don't think they'll rock up before next Wednesday so I will have to slum it on Racetecs! Not booking it just gunna see what the weathers like on Tue night then just load up and turn up!
