Not sure. My options are somewhat limited, given my relatively small stature.

Hi aniceh

Yeah, it was quite a scare!

Hi, Dee. Hope MI is treating you well!

Glad he's going to be ok, though. Sorry about your bike. Guess it's time for that sport bike you wanted :-p

My bike was bare bones, and was six years old, so no ABS. I'd like it on whatever I may move on to, though. I'd love to get a sport bike, or even a naked bike, maybe move up to a whopping 300cc's.

Yeah, it sucks about the bike, but I'm just glad my kid will be ok. Insurance will take care of everything else.

Thanks Aniceh..

Glad your boy is ok.

Look into the CB300f maybe? It is a fantastic little bike. Only downside...no ABS though, sadly. Grow longer legs, maybe?

Also, yeah I know, I remember your bike. Just saying, ABS would likely have saved him. Not like it's your fault for not getting it, however.

That's awesome man! We can definitely plan something for you when you get here.

We could do Old Stein, seems like everyone likes that spot.. Just a thought.

I meant it sucks that your kid got hurt :P

Nah, they don't really have any entrees I can eat. We could to GB or anywhere else you want as long as there is a seafood or vegetarian option.

Aniceh, sorry to hear of the accident your Son was in. Very happy to know he will live to tell the tale though. We will keep your Son and you in our thoughts as he recovers.

Or...maybe the new Vulcan S? Can routinely find them brand new in the high 4's I believe... It's no sport bike, but it has that nice 650 and they handle great, supposedly.

The ergo fit might work very well for Ani, too. Vulcan S is a really nice bike and it'd be pretty damn quick with her on it.

How's the weather in your area? Have you put dedicated "winter tires" on your Z, or is she going to hibernate the winter?

Brother, winter has been nice to everyone, we're lucky (so far).

As far as the Z, I finished up with my BBK upgrade... I took today off, and pulled the Z out the garage, washed her up real nice, and took some photos...

Amen brother

I recorded some footage from my last HPDE at Summit Point Main. I was finally solo'd for the last session and it went well. My instructor agreed with my previous instructor to bump me up to HPDE2, and I'm pretty excited to run with those guys. There are some fast drivers in HPDE2.

I've been practicing shuffle steering, but now I'm being told not to do that, but instead hold at 9 and 3 I assume a well-rounded driver knows each technique and applies them in the proper situation.

I still need major work on turn in, specifically on turns 1 and 10; and work on throttle application on corner exit. My instructor tells me I can push 10 more mph in turn 1, but i feel the front drivers tire is at max grip and beginning to plow.

I experienced fuel starve mid turn 3 and turn 9 #almostkilledmyself (not in the video). Talk about terrifying. Time to give phunk a call. After it happened, as soon as i noticed 2 "dots" missing on the gauge, I'd begin my cool down laps and pit. The extra few laps weren't worth wrecking/causing someone else to wreck/causing injury.

Any input/advice is appreciated!
