Re: TPM @ VIR Leaving tomorrow @ 2pm
Nice meeting you Shawn.
It was a great day out there. Lots of track time.
I took two of my friends other SVs out and wow, I was instantly faster on their bikes. One was a 2nd gen with correct weight springs/emulators and penske rear and the other first gen had 04/05 gsxr1000 front end on w/ gsxr rear shock. I didn't realize how much of a difference it would make. I was so much more confident with their bikes. I could brake so much later with the gsxr brakes too.
I'm going to try to get some parts on before the sept 29th vir north event. I didn't want to ride my bike after trying theirs lol.
