[Section On Tuning/power Commanders, Etc.]

Tim,

I was looking at the quick shifter for the pc3usb for a 04 gsxr 600 would i need the ignition module as well? Some places say yes some say no, is one way better than the other, or is it just plug and play? Thanks.

[Securing A Track Bike For Transport]

I just purchased the pit bull trailer restraint and love it. Really easy to install and really easy to load the bike. Don't know if it will work in a van though. Looked at the pictures second maybe i should have looked first. Wow thats a tight fit.

[Changing Tires]

I heard the dyna beads are pretty good am i wrong? Been wanting to change my own tires for a while but would like someone experianced to show me how first.

[Buying New Leathers]

I am looking for new leathers was just looking for some input from you. I was looking at the AGVsport laguna like the css instructors wear. Like the way they look plus they look pretty comfortable. Just not 100% sure if i want to buy top grain or full grain. I hear top grain is really soft and comfortable but they are only one crash suits then need repair dont know if that is what i want to do in the event of a crash. Was also looking and Alpinestars like the gp pro suit. Would like to be safe and comfortable and have good features like venting and fit and stay around $1000. All the help would be greatly appriciated.

[Throttle And Lean Angle]

Jason thank you for the reply. That does make a lot of sense. I do not do much track riding. Iam trying to do more so i can only think of examples on the street. One would be starting out from a stop and turning which doesnt use much speed or lean. Another i can think of is long sweeping turns that dont use any real breaking to control speed entry. Please correct me if i am wrong.

 

 

[Throttle And Lean Angle]

Thank you Eirik and Jason for the quick replys

.

 

Jason what i am talking about is approching a turn with a steady throttle because there is no need to slow down then lean the bike then roll on the throttle for the propper 40/60.

[Throttle And Lean Angle]

Ok we all know adding throttle and lean angle is bad but is it alright to hold a constant throttle and lean at the same time and if so when is it appropriate? I think this question has been eating me up a little bit looked at tow2 dont remember seeing anything but i might just be blind. I thank you for your help in advance.

[What's The Reason You Ride?]

Hey whats up guys another lurker here,

 

Well my first experiance on a motorcycle was riding 2 up on a friends cbr600 while i was stationed in Germany for two years between 2003-2005 while in the Air Force. My friend took me out for a quick ride around some back roads just so i could see what it was like, right at that moment I was hooked. I think i fell for the open feeling that you cant get from a car. It took me a while to get my first bike though didnt get it untill 2009 and i was so glad i did. Took css level 1 in May at Thunderbolt and cant wait to go back in September for level 2

[Thunder Bolt Advice]

Thanks everyone for all your help cant wait to get to school May 14 looking forward to meeting everyone.

[Leather Racing Suits?]

Thanks for all your guys help. I did find a decent frank thomas one at a decent price now all i have to do is get to the track.

[Leather Racing Suits?]

I was wondering if anyone knew a place to get a decent suit without breaking the bank. I have a wife and kid that I support on one pay check so can't really pay thousands. Thanks for your help and input in advance.

PhillyJoey, welcome to the board and congrats on signing up for Level 1. You can expect to meet a great group of folks that also have the same goals in mind of becoming a safe and better riders. Come well rested, eager to learn and be ready to have a great time.

 

Are there particular areas of your riding that you feel could improve and make you a safer rider? What prompted you to take the first step?

 

I took the first step because after I took the PA motorcycle safety program I realized that everything was done at a really low speed 10-15 mph. They had a lot of useful information but nothing really on braking or how much a bike could really handle. Once i saw this school I knew it was somthing I wanted to do. I could use some help in entry speed and turning points. I was also looking for some advice for using my bike, set up etc. I will be using my 2002 zx6r. Would love to use the new BMW but just cant really afford that right now.

[Thunder Bolt Advice]

I am heading to thunderbolt for level 1 on may 14th, I was just wondering what to expect or advice anyone could give me. I have only been riding for approx a year but want to get better so i am a safer rider so i think any advice would help. Also looking for other people that will be attending level one that day. Thank you in advance.
