This was my 2nd weekend on the R6 and I am even more in love with the bike. In Saturday's Superstock Novice race, I started 10th and ended up getting 2nd place on last lap! I was a solid 3rd place bike, but the leader ran out of fuel on last lap and coasted to checker flag. This was most likely due to a red flag we had. I ran a 1.36 in this race. I...

If you don't like the weather, hang around 15 minutes... It will change.

The 3 day weekend schedule started with a track day on Friday, Racing on Saturday and Sunday. The weather forecast was good but uncertain. I consider Grattan a "Home Track," even though it is almost 2 1/2 hours away. It is my first track, my favorite track, and likely the track where I have ridden and coached the most in over 9 years with SportBikeTrackTime. But I had...

Finishing the 2021 season with a new PB on the SV of 1:19.005 and being on the cusp of 18's felt great but frustrating at the same time. It didnt help much knowing that I was going to be one of the last remaining experts in the Lightweight classes on an SV and the success of 2022 would depend highly on getting into the 18's consistently. That all went out the window at Round 1,...

I’ve been working on the TZ750 since it came back from PI in April.

If you remember, I had problems with fouling the plugs and ultimately the shifting problem on Sunday where the bike would not engage 2nd gear.

Spent an entire day with WASCO to repair/rework the “bridge” between the trans and the crankcase. Had to use old style “black smith” methods to “Hammer”...

From practice to the races I competed in, I never experienced any close calls or frustration with other riders. I ride a black R6 (#171) and need some more seat time to get up to this group's pace but even the fast guys passed me clean in practice. I even got to play with an expert rider in the C superstock race...
