Curious, what exactly is that? Heard of gymkhana via Ken Block vids but not really in the motorcycle world.Officially joined the local moto gymkhana club. Looking forward to skill development with their crew.
Sunday: rode the NC almost 400 miles-from my house to Red River Gorge and back (mostly back country highways), did about 90 miles superslab on the way back. Left the house at 915am and pulled back into the driveway at 615pm-great 9 hours out on the bike..made a couple of bathroom stops and one stop for fuel (also a quick Ale-8 and power bar intake at Slade Ky). Ky Hwy15 from Winchester Ky to Slade Ky is a nice little hwy.
going from a 16 to a 17 front means that the speedo/odo will display 94.1% of what they previously did.Using GPS it shows my speed is off by 5mph or so at 70mph (my usual rate of speed is 70mph-80mph according to my Speedo) my Speedo shows 70mph and GPS shows 75mph.
It's been like that sense I changed to a 17 tooth sprocket, at the time my NC had 68,000 miles, I just past 90,000 miles last weekend, anyone know the math to figure out what my actual mileage is?
To throw in another variable I was playing around with the tooth count on the rear sense around 30,000 miles [emoji28]
I don't worry about knocking picked up rubber off the tires if I'm not running warmers. Doesn't hurt anything.Rode to work, out to eat on lunch break, and back home, around 45 miles roundtrip. 75% of the time running 70+mph, and the rubber balls from the track are still on the front tire. Must've been stupid hot and actually bonded with the tire at the track. The rubber balls are picked up when exiting the track as you move off of the race line and into where all the rubber than flies off tires lands when exiting into the paddock. Figured it would have all slung off within 5 miles, but this appears to be actually bonded to the tire. I hope it doesn't actually cause weird tire wear. Maybe they will wear off Sunday, as it will be a few hundred mile roundtrip ride. Just interesting to me that it's 'that' stuck to the tire. Oddly enough, there's none left on the rear tire. Pretty sure it's common practice to knock those balls off your tire as soon as you get back to your pit, but I didn't think anything about it, nor did I want to waste the energy to do it. Lol

Its all gone after the 350 hard miles ridden Sunday. Lol. I'll probably wear out the sides of the tires to the point of needing replaced before any abnormal wear in the center of the tire could take place anyhow. LolI don't worry about knocking picked up rubber off the tires if I'm not running warmers. Doesn't hurt anything.
And yes, it'll stay on the front for quite a while.
This heat sucks man! I was hoping it would be cooler by my trackday next weekend! Bout had a heat stroke at the last one, looks like temps for this one will be no different. I am, however, bringing long enough extension cords to run a fan this time!Still in the upper 90’s here. May hit 100 over next few days. But i still slipped away for a brunch run on the NC. Back to the A/C before breaking a sweat.
Don’t know that we’ll have many fall leaves here.
Spontaneous combustion has taken care of that.
It was a beautiful day for a ride! Good weather is finally returning.
I posed for a picture on the Lime Squeeze NC700X with the Lime Squeeze Fiesta DCT (the car), wearing Lime hi-viz gear. I’m thinking I should get some hi-viz riding pants so I can stand out better in traffic. Don’t you think?
