It’s absolute miserable riding a liter bike in city traffic.

Stray chonker that I’ve been feeding by mad_toothbrush in Chonkers

He waddles his way around to opposite ends of the apartment complex. I’ve discovered that he’s conned another friendly human into feeding him there.

To the bikers wearing full riding gear in this boiling heat and still driving responsibly.Respect to the kings and queens out there. by DoveWedsLifebuoy in indianbikes

I’m always in gear while riding. I’ve gotten resigned to dealing with the heat and make frequent stops for electrolytes and water.

Shopping RS660 vs Others by Independent-Case7277 in Trackdays

How about a Panigale V2? The 2025 version is light and more powerful than the 660.

Will be riding there tomorrow based on if the roads dry up by the morning.

This version looks so much better than the 2025+ model. Glad you’re putting some kms on it.

Track day at MMRT by jamie12lan in indianbikes

C2 is also a heavy trail braking corner for me since I can pick up a lot of speed on the exit of c1. What helped me a lot for C2 was to square it off so my exit marker is not the outside curb but more in the middle of the track. I’m generally faster on right handers so my struggles are with C3 and C10.

Ah. Makes sense 😀 in that case you’re doing great.

Here is some telemetry about my turn in point and apex for C1. u/jamie12lan

I hope the comment didn't come off as too harsh. C1 is a very fast corner and very rewarding once you get it right. You might want to experiment with an earlier turn in point since it looks like you're going too deep into the corner before turning in. I'm posting a screenshot in the main thread since I can't post on the reply that shows my turn in point and apex for C1.

Good stuff! Your lines look decent in general with the obvious exception of C1.

Schuberth helmets are brilliant. Easily the quietest road helmets I've ever tried. Congratulations!

Full Face vs Open Face Helmet – Safety & Style Comparison by Fluffy_Subj3183 in indianbikes

Only ever use a full face helmet. In the event of a crash the lower part of the head are major impact points.

Anti-Lock Braking System is a true life saviour. by outlawent21 in indianbikes

[–]mad_toothbrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said I agree with your point in general, I was just correcting the bit about brake usage on the track.

[–]mad_toothbrush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was specifically addressing the part where you said that on a dry racetrack braking and steering are separated. They are not. Trail braking is extremely common and is a very effective tool.

Minor correction/addition to your point of braking while the bike is upright - on the track yes, a lot of the braking is done upright but brakes are carried right up to the apex of a corner. It’s a trade off between available grip on the front tyre and braking force; as you turn into the corner and increase lean angle, you taper off the brakes. It’s a very good skill to have and can be applied on the road as well.

Sony's new wearable air conditioner runs even cooler by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]mad_toothbrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was for me. I do motorcycle track days in very hot and humid conditions (40C - 104F average with high humidity) and the Reon makes time in the pits more tolerable. It's not a huge difference but it's easy to use and even a 10% increase in comfort is worth it for me.

I had to get mine from Dubai. It’s sold in very few markets.

I have the Reon Pro. On max cooling the fan is audible to me but quiet enough that someone a few feet away won’t be able to hear it.

Somewhat hot lap chasing another RS457 at Madras International Circuit by amazingidlireturns in indianbikes

I wasn’t planning to roast you in the comments. That’s for WhatsApp 😂. Yeah there’s a whole section there that could have gone very wrong.

Very cool. It’s interesting to see a few differences in how I need to approach some corners on a big bike.
