Default SV whoppin on litre bikes?! RIP buell1200 GSXR 1000 SV 1000 ZX1200...

(sorry, lazy and tired.. copied from one of my bike forums

For those that dont know, i've 'downgraded' about 2 year ago off my immaculate 06 GSXR 750 that i rode thru Deals gap, drag strips etc..

anyway the custom SV650 has been a slow work in progress, and i have been dying to get my lean on again.

FINALLY, yesterday and today i was blessed to get PAID while carving!!

The USMC has hired the california superbike guys (Keith Code) to teach us a thing or two.. or three.. about our bikes.

4 15 min sessions yesterday,+ 3 slightly longer runs today + a BUNCH of riders that sat on bikes greatly exceeding their skills =
one VERY happy experienced lil SV rider.

2001 SV650 w/ minor bolt ons vs. the competition


starting in my group dead last-


but not there for long at all
newer SV 1000 down.. preying on GSXR 600


out braked this ZX??? in the short straight and towed him around the sweeper


ORANGE. the new color of speed


there were a few camera guys out there taking MUCH better shots. waiting for them to upload and host. But a few said they did see my pucks shooting sparks

The brief classes they gave and the instruction out on the track has helped me get back in the game and definitely instilled more confidence in the SV and the old diablo STRADAS i was whippin on the youngins with.

2 days, no downs. Too many passes to count, NO passes made on me.
what a great way to finish my week.

Thanks to Cali SB and the USMC for hosting the event!!!!!!!!
REALLY looking fwd to the dragon and VIR now!



more pics to come some as i get em.
