One of the guys I race with - a diminutive Russian kid who is very fast, has a smokin' supersport-spec R6. Well, it was smokin' after he had a 120 MPH lowside at a trackday last Saturday at Miller. Despite his homemade tank sliders, it suffered the dreaded R6 curse. Shame. Glad he's okay, anyway.

it's amazing to me that with all the hubbub over the rev limit and the fire issues with this bike, yamaha hasn't offered some sort of solution to customers.

They did; sign this disclosure and guaranty that you won't sue us, or you can't buy it.

...dude you ride an offroad bike with slicks, 1/2 the weight of a GS, double the suspension, with a browning 50 cal going off 32" from your skull as a daily freaking driver - I'd expect anything except a nitro dragbike to be bland by comparison - SSG
On a track ABSOLUTELY!!!! I don't mind them for street, but when I see those on a track I just don't understand why! We got speed hump on our back and pay good money for helmets that are quiet and aerodynamic. Why would you put something like that on your head to go 120+MPH. Plus it can probably fly off anytime and I'd be freaking pissed to be the guy behind and get it in the face. I just spent 20 hours drilling bolts on my bike and safety wiring it, I don't have a kickstand and need to carry my freaking rear stand everywhere I go. Why would I want to high side because I slid on fake hair holding only by suction cup.
There was a guy at Jennings with those fake balls attached to his undertail, WHAT THE FUCK!!!! That kind of stuff does not belong on a track, period, and if your putting stupid fake balls on your bike, better be fucking fast, I mean really freaking fast. I was passing mister big balls like he was stopped.
Sorry for the rant. I could go for hours, but I'm done.

Sorry, I should have figured out how to add sarcasm. fully agree with everything you said, I think they are retarded. I see them on ski helmets a lot lately also, not as much danger to others involved there, but just as stupid.
