Wayne. Pull up a chair and put your feet up, sounds like you'll fit right in.

CBRVFR · 06-23-2008, 11:27 PM

Welcome, Wayne - Now where did I put that Aussie-English Translation key?

Kidding - Bike is the language we all understand. Congrats on that 1098 - one of the most beautiful street bikes ever. I admire the guts it takes you guys to track them.

i hear ya , i will only put 7tenths in , too scared to push her to its limits. im really just tracking it to feel what the suspension is doing and get used to it.
i,ll leave the zx10r for the full slog track sessions!

Welcome - You're gonna fit right in.

A 10R and a 1098? That's a whole bunch of horsepower

i like both my bikes but if i could buy another one at the moment it would be the 08 fireblade . they may not have the top h/p figures but i think they have got it right this year and it may do very well on the track.
