  1. Earlier today Nicky Hayden, AMA Superbike Champion and 2006 MotoGP Champion passed away from injuries sustained from a cycling accident in Rimini Italy last week. RIP Nicky #69
  2. There is much more there to be learned than meets the eye! A lot depends on the twist grip angle vs throttle plate(s) opening angle. What is the ratio? How could this be changed to improve or impede your lap times? Jeff
  3. Mr. John Surtess, The only person thus far to win world championships on 2 wheels and 4 wheels passed away on Fri 10 Mar 17. Condolences to his family. Jeff
  4. How about using a motorized bicycle?
  5. There is another way to widen your arc without adding a steering input (and without changing body position), who knows what that is? Turn the loud handle. What if the loud handle is at 11, then what????
  6. As per Roberts request I will post up a picture or two soon. Life has been a trip lately and I have not really been able to keep up with whats been going on around here. I hope you all enjoy the following. Jeff
  7. At present the 1299 is not race legal. It does have more of the good ole fashion Duc low end torque which makes it easier to ride. The WSBK model is the 1199R.
  8. Ok, fair enough. What part of racing technology would this fall into other than the trash?
  9. I'm throwing this phrase out to get thoughts from the folks here about what this means to you. The first time I read the phrase ​"You have to go slow to go fast" was in a book about autocross driving/racing, this was back in the early 80's and I can't remember the name of the book. For me it's "Time Management"
  10. I usually get into position while I'm still on the brakes but towards the end of the braking to be 100% honest sometimes I miss that target and am coasting for a moment when I move. I normally slowly taper the pressure but occasionally in those "oh no" moments I'll snap right off the lever. As for the missed timing for the body position change and end of braking you could completely get the bike unstable. One of the biggest fears I had when I first decided to move around on the bike. If I recall from the school you want to move your body while on the brakes. Robert, You are mentally hauling butt while slowing down Have you thought about what you need to do before entering a turn? How many steps are flying through your brain in that couple of seconds? Cutting to the chase (no pun intended) Move your ass whilst go the gas!
  11. Welcome to the forum Mario. Material to read, Twist of The Wrist 2 and maybe watch the DVD with the same title. They can be purchased here https://superbikeschool.com/superbikeschool/store/ Classes at Barber fill up quick. Im not sure about Laguna though. The only difference between the classes are the location, material and class levels are the same. Jeff
  12. Damien, Do you need the full system or do you just want a full system? It's cost vs performance. Will you fully utilize the extra power gained from the expense from the full system and other components that will be required? Or.... It's the age old question: Wants vs Needs! Best of luck which ever way you decide.
  13. Quick post while I still unwind from a 10 hour drive, the last 3hrs ice and snow. Relax drill is wonderful even driving, just use the fingers instead of flapping your wings. Comments on the video; hmm, ok, hmmm, I'm not going to say not so polite things about another school. I may one day attend their school because there may be that one little tidbit of information that may save my bacon. Now looking to far ahead can get you lost, make you miss your apex ( Turn 2 at Barber's; run off the inside, over the curbing!!! Thanks Hotfoot for the corrective action; look at the curbing [step 2] before looking at the exit [step3]). Looking to far ahead ( Museum turn at Barber's; looking at the turn point for the S-turn and not letting the bike run out to the outside exiting; Look to the turn exit first and let the bike go there. Thanks James!) If you have to look to see where you are then you are lost! By the time you know where you are, the it's old news and you are lost. Know where you are and know where your going, if you don't then your lost; lost = slow Back to the relax drill ; can't find the one for Beer so....
