Cool find got photos of most of the b folks and Randy

There's a number of examples of what not to do re body position. The dude in the yellow suit on 46 is asking to low side some day. Very crossed up

In contrast 13 with the orange helmet is how one should do it

TO ME....it looks like you might get some better response with the front end in terms of feel and keeping it down when pinning out of corners if you slide up a lil more towards the tank and get your elbows up and use them hands like a screwdriver like Aaron and XXX taught you to do...

just sayin...

Plenty room form for improvement, no doubt. Not sure which session that's from, I was getting more into it late in the day, but was (admittedly) a touch over timid in a few places early on.

Thought sliding towards the tank on that bike is to the back  ;D - that little black bit behind my rear is the filler.

In, for one of the Shenny days!

I've cursed his name for bringing it up, but Jims got me going for the 18/19

Already announced that intent at home, so time to execute (in a few weeks) and see how much quickly I can get the Ktooom around there.

Now I'm debating between 18 and 19th or july's cornerspeed school... I am definately leaning more towards cornerspeed.

I might be able to somehow squeeze 18/19 and july too :D

Oh and we working on fixing the ac on my buddies truck, mechanic says he should be able to recharge the compressor and should be fine.

Anyone else interested for cornerspeed?

Probably not. Air cooled carb 2v 944. More power than my 900 but not too much and less than your 1100

The major issue with that bike is that it's likely to be a hassle and costly to fix  if it goes down. Secondary issue is the asking price.

Thoughts?
Many Japanese bikes are awfully cheap to mod/fix.
