** KNEE DRAGGERS UNITE ** Part XIII - Squid City and Crash Cages

[mtpaquette]

Careful out there bro. What did you do that was "stupid"?

Pretty sure what happened was I'd just came off of like an hour and a half break. It was the first lap back out. I was trying to get myself to back off the first couple of laps again, but in doing so zoned out so much I stopped paying attention. Ended up going from inside to outside of corner not being able to fully stop, and ran off into the grass. As soon as I hit the grass I washed out.

Got my new GT Air II in today. Ordered the Sena SRL 2 with it also. Can't wait to get it all set up and try it out.

[mtpaquette]

Chain on the old SM is loose. Just ordered a +3 for the rear sprocket. Wanted a +2, but I'm a child. The +2 wouldn't come until the middle of next week at the earliest, but the +3 will come tomorrow.




Now I can't wait until the +3 gets here and the chain is just a tad short. :face palm:

[darkninja67]

Yeah I was pretty happy with it. Called the day before on a new 2018 that was listed for $6800. After all the dealer BS it was going to be $9200 out the door. Decided I was only going to look at used after that and found this one 5 hours away. Black and red 100% stock.





You still on the 6R?

yeah she's still running fine.
Nice bike. Still on my short list but that 14R still calls me, especially since I might be riding two up a lot in the future.

Freedom Penguin has a GSXS1000 as well.

Picked up this fire breathing monstrosity last week. Love it. Much more comfortable than the H2 SX was, excellent handling, and the road manners of the big twin are infinitely entertaining.

Wow, cool bike, man.

I always enjoyed the color scheme of KTM's and the integrated turn signals look nice. I bet this bike has torque out the ass

I'm slow AFFFF.. Wasn't a lot of organization throughout the weekend. Novice was basically "pass on straights", but it was always a free for all by the end of the day. I got passed by some quicker people on the inside a couple of times. Interesting experience for sure on the track vs street. Definitely picked some stuff up. Wrecked yesterday being stupid. Feeling it today. Took PTO off to recover, but am too stubborn to actually take the day off. lol

Ride with a better organization. They will keep you safe and you’ll be brought up to speed more quickly with quality coaching. If you come east to any tracks, schedule a day with N2.

It's a beast. The H2 made more power but the torque delivery comes on so low in the rev range that it's so much more fun to ride. I've got a full intake, and decat mid pipe on the way. There's a shop 90 miles from me that is really well regarded tuning these things. They throw down 175whp 105ish Ft/lbs once you open up the exhaust and intake and get a proper tune.

I would definitely like to get out with another organization, but there's only 3 more days this year nearby with the same one. One of them I'm for sure not doing, because it's after Indianapolis' biggest motorcycle event. I may do one or both days at the September session, but then I'd be worried about the weather.

Check other orgs running tracks in the south late into the fall. Something like Road Atlanta around thanksgiving time can be a nice little road trip with potential for perfect weather and track time.

And then avoid those tracks when the heat is trying to kill everyone in the summer. Track days are a good opportunity to travel the country.

Nice one dude!! Would rep, but on spread..
Did you went and got some carbon fiber bits and parts on it as well?
Buddy of mine has his in black/orange with carbon all around, pretty sweet details and looks!

Oh and I finally got mine done the way I wanted!
Had to wait for a couple of parts and decals, but everything is on now..

Meet my Duke

Chain was barely too short with the new gearing set up (+3 rear). Had to go buy a new chain and only ended up being 2 links (pair) longer, but at least I have an o-ring now vs a the rivet that was on. Man the first time I tried to clutch up last night in 2nd coming out of a turn it came up so much easier though.













This is phenomenal cleaner by the way. Spray it on and just watch everything drip off a chain if your cleaning it. I usually use just a microfiber and spin the wheel to clean my chains with this stuff.

What about around the actual bead? Might be some debris on the bead that is not allowing the tire to seal 100%. Over inflate and spray it down. Check the valve core as well.

Do you guys think a bike paint shop can fix this? Dent is about the size of a quarter.

[mtpaquette]

Anyone ITT have a mini-moto? I want a new toy and I've been eyeing them on marketplace. There's a go kart track 10 minutes down the road that lets people ride minis and SMs. I saved a couple of XRs, then started eyeing TTrs, and then started eyeing KTMs.

I would just watch eBay for a replacement tank. You might be surprised how cheap tanks are listed for.

Shut the **** up. Watch. Listen. Observe and absorb. Shut the **** up. Do as your told. Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Shut the **** up. You're nothing to us even though you're rocking that top rocker. Shut the **** up. You have to prove to us that you're worth being a brother in our family. One last thing: Shut your ****ing mouth.

[mtpaquette]

Finally an official "knee dragger". Got my first knee down in a left turn on Saturday afternoon. By the end of the day I was scraping left or right on half of the tracks turns. #feelsgoodmane


Trying to find a KLX110 to throw some Mag wheels on and run as a mini motard. Everyone is asking $2k for 10 year old dirt bikes though.

[RoyalRyy]

Just got my first bike with 0 miles and put the first 12 miles in yesterday night after school. My rear slipped for a second when I gave it a little too much throttle on a turn and I've never puckered my azz that hard in my life lmao. I remained calm and everything went fine tho. I fukin suck but I'm gonna practice my azz off.
