Here are a few videos of us riding at Mid-Ohio this last Mon-Tuesday. SO much fun riding with everyone and the track is great. The 1125Rs work so well there even with stock tires! The 2nd video is fun. I was chasing a pretty quick guy on a GSXR1000 and the 1125 was giving him fits even though he waited to play a few times... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj_0Q03KNQI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-cLo_kCXl8 |

That's amazing... you must be getting some tire slip through the corners at the limit. Are you making continuous small steering input corrections through the turn? Also, on downshifts, do you click down through several gears as you blip the throttle, or is it only one gear at a time per blip? I've driven cars pretty hard at the track (not bikes!), but things are pretty steady and smooth, even with tires slipping. But you guys are at a whole other level... thanks for posting. |

awesome! After watching those videos I realized how much sooner I need to be on the gas. I normally run the whole track in third gear except for back straight. But since I have been trying to pick up the pace I have been shifting more. I noticed when you entered the carousel you down shifted to second. But towards the end It seems like you left it in third. Did you tell any difference? |

As the pace came up, I could run 3rd in the keyhole and the carousel, as well as turn 6-11. I for sure had to get my direction changes done properly, as well as carry the proper roll speed. Bike kicks ass...... |
