Re: Patrick's bikes

Look through your turns!



Scrapping exhaust and toe before I put my knee down.(fore warning, nobody got pics of it)


Entry after an instructor flies by me in the front straight(That was scary)



Trying to keep up with him through the turn.



I look like I'm just going for a daily cruise



One of the 2 only left turns when run in CW config. I need to carry more speed into this turn and hit it harder. My line sucks going through this section as well as right after the back straight.



This bike looks tiny!



Another daily stroll through the track(first lap/entering track warming tires first). Also airing out the cahones










These sets of pics aren't that great but I don't blame the photog as he was out on the track himself after being injured.

What I need to do to this bike is rebuild the rear shock. I went off the track at the chicane after the decreasing altitude left turn. Didn't lay it down but my rear shock bump stop was completely decimated. Other than that, the bike is pretty smooth. I may respring/valve the front forks but these are projects for over the winter. Tail chop came in today and will get installed eventually. I will also eventually need a high mounted exhaust as well as rear sets.(Or just get a dedicated track bike someday!)
