No sir, never tried graphite. Assuming you're referring to the throttle tube/ handle bar, I figure graphite would yeild good results but I'm at the point where I've become very comfortable just keeping the two surfaces clean and free of any additives of any kind. As PA1195 stated, "You'll find...

Your bike looks like a rolling ****o... ...and I never said that was a bad thing!

Personally, I would remove the tube and clean off any and all contaminates from the bar as well as the plastic piece. Run it dry as in "no lubricants at all". Thing is, you can lube it and it will be smooth but over time it'll get buggered all over again. I run all my bikes' throttle grips...

Preparation for nuclear winter? :shrug:

I'm with Fred on this one. A "beginners" bike, as it were, is not a 1000 or a 1200. Why not start with a middleweight such as an SV650 or an FZ6 and throw some frame sliders on it? Your friend will spend less penny on an older machine coupled with the fact that it will be dropped at some point.

Holy crap dude! Take it easy out there! Glad you're okay.

There's a really cool toy for that. Do an interwebs search for "Cable Life".

bump Sunday is the day! Please post up your interest so I can better gauge a decent meeting place that suits everyone.

North garage 9 all year long Zip-Tie Alley Racing EDIT: If I did this correctly, a Google map should show up with various LRRS race teams scattered through out the infield. LINKY

There's only one thing to say: Read Chapter 14 in "Total Control"

So you ARE the same Warchild from the article. I just got my CW the other day and stumbled across the writeup of your trip....when they put "Warchild" in quotes I immediately thought "what are the chances?" Nice work, bro!

From the powers that be:

I have EBC HH on both my race bike as well as my street bike. They've always seemed to stop me just fine.

Posting this to support a fallen rider. Please contact me with any questions. I will be posting a meeting place and departure time in the next few weeks if there's enough interest to get a group going.

I don't think he even made the grid at Daytona.

You have placed this ride directly in the middle of the Loudon Classic! You'd better hope Zip-Tie Alley doesn't catch wind of this madness! ;) But seriously, depending on which races I sign up for I'll likely shoot to meet up with you sometime on Saturday. If you go on the Daks ride then...

Who's on the Jordan Suzuki? That Yates or Pridmore? Curious because a buddy of mine recently started working for the Jordan Suzuki team. I'm gonna guess Yates because I know he went down during qualifying and took out Scotty Greenwood (a New England local guy).

Well, anyone who was interested but didn't go definitely missed a great two days with Boston Moto at VIR North. First day started off pretty damp and chilly, which aided in shaking off the winter season cobwebs and allowed everyone to practice smoothness. Rain was forcasted to arrive at 11...

Nice write up, Shawn! Ken C is one of our local NH guys who doubles as a trackday instructor for Tony's Track Days. I've talked with him on a few occasions and he seems to be very articualte and informative. The way he delivers the message is understood by many, if not, all. I still have to...
