A few more action pictures, getting closer to that elusive knee down moment.

Looks fun!

More seat time and you'll only keep getting better and better

Shoulders and head are the key to body position and knee down, lead with you're head and keep it down, you're shoulders will follow, also I like to have one cheek off the seat as well

Agreed, time for me to now start using my lower body and getting a cheek off the seat.

Learning a few more things on this beast.
Currently trying to sell it for a track bike, I'll give it a few more days here, then I will be forced to pull it off market, wire it up, order covers, and go racing as is. (With some take-off tires).

Update:

Decided I want to go racing. I've had this for sale for 2 weeks and offered to trade it for multiple bikes. After following an instructors SV650 and realizing that bike maybe makes 25 more hp than mine....

....this bike is going racing.

I just ordered up a used Sharkskin rear tail section. I've been working with a manufacturer of race plastics on a partial sponsorship deal potentially. Hopefully that goes thru to save me some dough, otherwise I'll order race plastics this week as well as my case covers.

I would really love to get some of my stock crap sold as well as some misc items I've posted on craigslist so I can get a few other bits that would be nice for this bike at the track including:
Spare wheels
spare sprockets
Clip on's
rear sets

Way excited!! First race is the novice race August 28th. Waiting for the gates to open for that. Now I need to figure out what numbers to try to pick/run, safety wire the bike, fit the race plastics, and see how much fundraising I can accomplish prior to that date.

Old school racing mentality: Run what you brung. I am familiar with this bike and its liquid; might as well track her.

Good man, I've got a few buddy's running cra this year, I thought about it but cannot afford to wrap all my play funds up in one hobby lol
