Great article.  Now if I can just free up some time to go racing next year.  Or even just go to more than a few track days like I did this year.  :( :(

Just do it. Pencil in the times like you would a business meeting or family vacation. That's all it takes.

Good article. I've got to do #3 more often. (trust your tires) And since I have a race patter shift on my race bike, I'm always being told #4, when I shift the wrong way due to the race pattern shifting.

And Shaman, like larry said...JUST DO IT!
At this rate and considering how little track time you're getting, you'll never catch me on my little EX500 even if you do use the ZX7.  ;D  :D  the line has been drawn in the sand.  ;)

You know...  I was just looking online and I can get a 2007 GSX-R 750 brand new for $7100 CDN if I buy in the states.  Maybe I can keep up to the EX on that.  ;D ;D

But we'd never know for sure, because it's not a vintage bike.  :P Just stick with the one you have and save the $$$.
