RA beats the snot out of my 600, banging the limiter so many times per lap trying to keep up with the big bikes. And I’ll keep doing it, again and again and again.
I never turned down RA. Every time I’m on it I’m grinning from ear-to-ear.

Make some brackets for quick mounting in the trailer……
I could put it in the trailer but really no desire to. Rather keep it in the garage and always have fresh tires at the track
Better to have it and not need it. That’s where I’d just load it up and anchor her down, never know if you’ll need it, or charge guys $20 to do it while you have down time vs the competitors. Recoup your track day costs.
tf. Have you ever done a track day, or changed a motorcycle tire yourself?
You're on the track 20 out of every 60 minutes. The other 40 is spent putting on warmers, checking pressures, catching your breath, going to the bathroom, drinking water, reviewing gopro vid if something abnormal happened, BS'ing with other riders. The whole point of buying one for the garage is so that I don't have to f with tires while i'm focused on riding.
I'm there to ride, not to try and undercut vendors lol
No. Didn’t know what kind of downtime you had while there. Obviously, not a lot.
The day I went this year that was 100* at RA I'd get back to the pits, put the warmers on and sit on my ass dead still for 40 mins straight and I was still barely ready to go back out when the time came, lol.
You wear your watch for it? Or throw on a chest strap. Would be interesting to view your HR and cal data.
I remember a couple of ACC full course days (Memorial Day, Labor Day) where I was pouring sweat out of my gloves and boots. I was dunking my head in the cooler of water and ice cubes.
Ordered new helmet pads and tossed the sweat soaked ones right into the trash. No amount of washing was going to save them.
That 90-95° ambient, standing in the pits on 130-140° tarmac, riding a bike with water temp of 200°-220°, sitting above an exhaust (underseat) that’s about 800-900°. Then wrestling 410lbs for 20 minutes.
I PAID TO DO THAT!!! ???
I did for the two days in august. A single 20min session had a max HR of 172, avg HR of 145, says 300 cals burned but that's always a guess.
Usually by august you're a little more conditioned for it as well. The first days in may/june are the hard ones lol
Small shop in my town, they charged me like 150 for the pair last time though I should have asked how much first
If you need tires next season ride out to my house in NWI. Non-Harley price $25/tire. Harley price $100/ea and park it on the street, don’t want any oil on my driveway or in the garage
