Harris Hill Road Track Day

May 14th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Did another trackday at H2R. I’m really excited because this was the first trackday where I was dragging my knee consistently and predictably. I’m done for the summer but I’ll do two more trackdays later in the fall. I am thinking of upgrading my bike - the suspension is completely stock and I’m riding it pretty hard at this point. I’m thinking of selling the motard and buying an SV650. I loved that bike and basically I want it back.

    Cool looking picture. It does appear that your knee is touching. You need that bike in N.Y. or PA where they have all those hairpin curves.

    Any shots of you sliding that rear wheel around? I’m still searching for a reasonably priced set of 17s for my XR650R.

    Haven’t ever slid the rear. Slid the front when I scraped the footpeg but I don’t recommend that if you like clean underwear.

    Heh.. I was just watching this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7Y0bvtYReM). The 2nd half of it is so sick.
