There are videos of T-12s on the track doing quite well. Learning her limits is good but using her as a track bike seem counterintuitive. Better tools for the job and all.

I just hurt on everything made for that. Which is also why I have no business pushing a bike that hard but, idk... safer then jumping out of planes... almost.

Watching the bagger races is fun. Why not me? Why not Zoidburg?

Glorious weather today for riding.

We did have a case where the police gave a ticket to a guy for walking across the road too slowly. When it got to court the magistrate read the charge and said to the defendant, “Go next door to the coffee shop and get a coffee while I ask the prosecutor and the police if they really want to go through with this. Come back in 20 minutes”. The magistrate then told the police “have a chat and decide if you are really serious about this”. Five minutes later the police came back and said we are withdrawing the charges. The defendant came back and was free to go.

Pretty sure the advanced class is slow too. Not a lot of high speed classes out there.
When I lived in Portland, OR the Advanced courses were taught on a go cart track. Very demanding w/o high speeds, compared to a normal track. Those were Team Oregon classes, similar to MSF and what Oregon uses instead of MSF. A little less "read the card", especially in the advanced classes. Lots of moto officers usually in the classes. Makes for a lot of fun and good skill building.

That's pretty much what I had heard. Taking the skill learned in the basic course and using/improving them to deal with daily hazards encountered.

200kph on the odo. no prob, actually pretty stable. on the oem bridgestones when she was new
Yeah I'm re upping on the battlewings have a new set ready to go. I've done 134-6ish mph (in Mexico) since we are making eachother do math.

I think a scotts stabalizer and triptree setup from off the road would make it safer. I have Lust dog bones which raised the rear and made it a bit more loose at times (but not much).

OEM rubber riser bushings with additional risers is not very direct and flexes alot. I hear the gen 1 triptree and bushing setup was much more solid. I would swap that but I need the extra riser for my big ass body anyways.

Gonna have to sell a kidney.
