Yes Sir! I am loving mine. Weather has kept me from riding as of late and no local track time for me until next year. Trying to work up a Jennings trip though in Jan. but that don't look it's gunna happen either

. I have been on a few group rides and a few spirited pace rides since getting it. And still no mods... maybe santa will be good to me. (crosses fingers)

Last time I was in the garage the ninja wined at me, it nearly brought a tear to my eye. I know it's wanting to take me for a ride but I haven't ridden it since getting the 6. Next time... I promise.

For a while I wished I kept ninjette also but man I can't lie. I don't miss it that much. r6 is too much fun

I'm glad you're having fun too

hopefully you get better weather soon. Gotta love Socal!!

Hahah ok I'll post some more pics.

No, thank YOU!

I'm pretty sure it was one of the best days of my life. I already have 4 trackdays reserved for 2012

My daily commute is 8-10 miles so down the road, I might even just turn it into a pure track bike! We'll see haha

Nice Gurk!

burningscooter · March 21st, 2012, 01:39 PM

yep. full commitment!

I don't ride street anymore so I thought it'd be nice to get something that crashes well and is easy to take off/put back on.

i believe the track photographer on buttonwillow uses a Canon 7D. He doesn't edit photos i believe so I color correct / edit them to my taste.

csmith12 · March 21st, 2012, 02:14 PM

i see a gopro there. post the vid?

Watching it is pretty painful since i'm slow as hell

It's there only to monitor my lap times.

But hey, I can only get better!http://www.youtube.com/user/TrackingGurk/videos

PS: On that track day 2 video I don't shift because my clutch kept getting stuck for the good part of the day

I almost crashed twice because of it. But since then I've fixed the issue

burningscooter · March 21st, 2012, 02:25 PM

@Gurk looks FUN man. Happy to see you are fully committed. Keep at it man, youre only going to get better.

And trust your BRAKES.

that is all

csmith12 · March 21st, 2012, 02:31 PM

Dood, Your doing fine considering how long you been riding. Just gotta work out those lines.

Nice riding sir!

Gurk · March 21st, 2012, 02:40 PM

thanks guys. yeah i don't sweat it much. i talk to a amateur racer friend of mine. he gives me pretty good critique about lines and technique. hopefully with his guidance i'll shave some seconds off in the next few outings.

burningscooter: totally agree! i coast a lot. i should be WOT more and brake later. it'll come!

massacremasses · April 5th, 2012, 02:31 PM

Trailerboy531 · April 5th, 2012, 02:53 PM

You want Gurk to ship 2 wheels...

That sounds expensive. Especially when the guy doesn't care because his bike is now track only lol

Maybe if I was still on the street. For now all I care is how much better I can get on the bike. Which means I'll only spend money on track days and comfort/performance mods.
