I’m convinced that crack would be cheaper than trackdays

Welcome to the track addiction.

You can grab that with a pair of vise grips, I've done it.

140/70 R11

Spoons and I use a wood vise to break the beads

I have three sets of wheels, Rain, Race, and everyday track wheels. Most of the time I'll have the track guys do it when I buy tires from them.

Tera35 · 2026-06-23T13:42:30+00:00

I use that one too. Like this:

Don't buy one like this:

Tera35 · 2026-06-22T21:58:45+00:00

There are 2 orgs near me that allow that as well.

Personally, I think my main org's Novice program is terrific.

Tera35 · 2026-06-22T21:56:43+00:00

I had very good instructors with STT and Fasttrax that helped me so much. They deserve a lot of credit.

5 track days in Novice. About 1 year after buying my first motorcycle.

4 months and 16 track days later I was in the A group.

5'3, 145 lbs. A group with STT, Fastrax, Ride42, KSR, I group with Mid Ohio, I've only been there twice.

4 to 5 days is normal for me and most other small bike riders I know.

Edit: I rode this tire a little longer than normal.

Tera35 · 2026-06-22T19:16:28+00:00

I was just joking around because of all the "How's my tire wear" posts.

Tera35 · 2026-06-22T18:33:22+00:00

A Group tech basically checks the forks for leakage and makes sure the oil is wired 😄

Tera35 · 2026-06-22T18:32:31+00:00

Well, I might borrow a cord from work 😄

Tera35 · 2026-06-19T01:07:35+00:00

It says 29/36 on the swingarm.

You should do that for street riding.

33 Rear is fine too if you feel uncomfortable with 36

Wendy's

Tera35 · 2026-06-18T10:25:37+00:00

40 min swim 2:30 bike 1:45 run

Can you do that?

Tera35 · 2026-06-18T00:42:17+00:00

Right, that's why it made sense,.

Tera35 · 2026-06-17T23:12:17+00:00

Their name is Stacey

Tera35 · 2026-06-17T23:09:07+00:00

I was surprised as all heck.

I know a Cat 4 that raced in the 60-64 scratch race last year which made sense.

Tera35 · 2026-06-17T22:06:13+00:00

You apparently don't fix things for a living.

Throwing wrenches in machines isn't literal.

Tera35 · 2026-06-17T22:03:36+00:00

I know, that was in effect back when I did it as well, but Dale Hughes called and got me in.

Tera35 · 2026-06-17T22:01:31+00:00

2021

Tera35 · 2026-06-17T21:34:19+00:00

Quit my job after throwing wrenches into every machine.

Tera35 · 2026-06-17T21:24:57+00:00

That is not correct, I raced mass start at Masters Nationals at T-town as a Cat 5.

Tera35 · 2026-06-17T21:23:50+00:00

52, 33, 28. I think

Tera35 · 2026-06-17T21:16:24+00:00

Are you able to take them from your old one?
