1. Acceptance of fat people - The human body was not meant to be obese, heart disease is not cute and is a drain on our health care system. We are not allowed to hate on fat people even though they are a drain on society, ruin your flight by not buying two plane tickets when they need a fawkin seat belt extender etc.

2. Modern gender roles are ridiculous - Women are becoming more masculine and men more feminine. If youre a dude and you take a selfie I punch you in the throat. Girls want a feminine guy to walk all over but then cheat on them with a masculine guy. Also men have fewer rights than women and that needs to be addressed. I.e. girls not being able to consent to sex when drunk. Does that mean they can rob a bank while drunk and not be held responsible? Also why is violence aagainst men funny and violence against women taken so seriously. totally fuked double standard

Point 1) Reddit called, they want you back

Point 2) 4Chan called, they said you're an autist

That's something I've been working on actually! It just feels like when I get super low that I'm ridiculously low but that's how it should be. It's my first real race season so no worries man I take all the advice I can! Always learning. I've been working to get my head down it's just easy to forget when I get out there haha. That and my corner entry speed need work. Not just trusting my brakes just a couple things. I'm learning! Picking up a lot of time this season. Thanks for the tips!

I am much better on a bike than driving a car and i have a lot more experience on bikes. I enjoy motorcycle racing a lot more bc if you make any mistakes on corner entry, attitude exit etc. you can usually shift your weight around to correct it and there is just so much grip to be found by moving your weight around (carefully).

I have pics of me where I am leaned way the fawk over and I'm pushing the bike away from me to stand it up so I can got WOT you would be surprised how far away I am from the bike.

Anyways the biggest advice other than that is to read Kenny Roberts book.

His insight really helped me and its extra delicate bc he was trying to tame the old 500cc beasts. Its expensive but well worth the price.

One last technique is to rotate the ball of your foot on the foot peg so your toes are pointing at about 45 deg to the outside (this on the inside peg ... outside meaning your toes are kind of pointing down toward the apex). And get your head way the fck down to the inside.

Just looked at your pics ... The lower portion of your body is set up right. Your upper part is askew. You need to be kissing your wrist on the throttle side there.

Blue guy needs a lot more help

Perfect! A friend of mine recommended the Keith Code book. I have been watching the video while working out which is corny but interesting. Haven't gone out and purchased a book yet I'll have to snag that guy.

Well I'm going to keep this all in mind. I noticed the same thing when I saw my pictures from last race, I felt that I looked a little "crossed up" with my upper body being too high on the bike. I'll really try and get my head down. My friend who's a real solid rider has been telling me every round that I can always get my head down haha I just always forget it's terrible...
I hadn't thought about my feet. I'll give that a try as well!

Track day coming up next friday nice full day to practice I'll go through the paces and see what kind of results I come back with! Very excited to ride again. Just been putting time in the garage getting the bike back together after crashing at the last event haha

Keith Code was corny as fk and he seems like a weird pedo bear type. The only good take away was when they show you that shiftign weight on the pedals does very little

its all about counter steer just push right to go right push left to go left i dont pull either just push

another tip at least for underpowered bikes is to get your weight to the rear of the bike under power bc you dont have to worry about the handle bars lifting up. I think the 600s might be able to learn a bit from this but the liter bikes forget it

Good luck with your rebuild. I miss it so much I gotta get back out there but I am working on my driving for now. breaking my wrist gave me some time away from the track and it wsa a nice breather bc the track can be so addicting.

[Icanfaptothis86]

But obviously whenever the front wheel is in the air that is wasted power

counter steer! I could always turn "faster" especially in chicanes and whatnot but i understand the concept.

Ha yea Code is a weird looking dude the video was fairly interesting but it does seem to be catered more to beginner riders really wanting to understand the concepts. I felt like I already knew a bunch of what was going on in that video but refreshing to see when they really exaggerate the situation and whatnot. I really want to ride on his crash bike or whatever that is, the thing that can't fall over. Looks super fun and an awesome way to experience a low/high side without the broken bike/bones

My little Honda is a little too weak to lift the front wheel :/ not like I really need much power but I get motored by like every other 600 on the track

The Honda 600 is and always has been outclassed by every other 600 out there. It just lacks the grunt. If I was going to get a pure 600cc I would get the R6 or Kawi. R6 has the edge on top end and the Kawi has an awesome gas tank size I always enjoyed how easier it is to hang on to vs the narrow bikes

I much prefer the Triumph 675 the low end grunt and the triple sound is fucking awesome. I had a guy chase me down on the street and try to buy my bike out from under me at a stop light bc 'it sounded like a ferrari'.

They used to be really difficult to get down here in Texas.

Anyways if you dont need to worry about keeping hte front tire down than try to scoot back a little bit (only a little at a time) as you will get more weight down over the larger contact patch when i had my 250 racer I would stick on the fucking tail no joke. Man i miss it so much I am going to buy a bike soon.

haha good! Bikes are wonderful. I really want a bike to go on the street. Something more tame I don't care for ripping through canyons or whatever. You can't beat the sensation of cornering like you can on the track. I don't have a death wish so I'm good with anything on the road. Probably going to build a cafe cb750 in a couple months. Been wanting that for a long time.

Yea I agree. it's a fun bike, feels much lighter than other 600's. Turn in and braking is fantastic on this bike. It's wonderfully agile but even if I get the pull out of a corner on someone onto a straight it quickly evens out; I can't carry that speed to pass many people on the straight.

I might have the opportunity in a few months to buy a previously AMA built r6 "superbike" which would be amazing... One of my best friends has been teaching me, he's been riding that for 2 seasons now. Depending on what happens at the end of the year he might buy an RSV-4 and give me a deal on his... built motor (just rebuilt again), ktech suspension all kinds of goodies

Street is scary especially down here Texas drivers are the worst.

Honda is a weird company in that they built super competitive motogp bikes but their street bike is always outclassed by the yamaha on the track

Cafe racer would be a good idea for me bc with a sport bike just one twist of hte wrist and I lose my license. A bonneville or something like that would be nice and mellow for the street.

I really want a BMW 1000rr such an incredible bike fits like a glove. But if I track again I will probably get another 250 they are so cheap to maintain and so much fun to race I love blowing by ppl with liter bikes in the turns

how are everyones jimmies today ?
