Well Rick, I’ll take the hit for this one. In defense this place from a Ducati perspective is but a .... stain of its former self where we had a lot of members doing some pretty cool stuff so my thought was, just about anything was better than another “what should I do” post. I apologize.

The gist of the post was self empowerment, you know, off topic “DIY” however after realizing that most of the post on this board center on “help, how do it do this” and “where do I take it to have someone else do it” it was definitely the wrong spot.

Saw this interesting take on testosterone and athletes. Seems like the more you work out; the lower your T. Which makes sense as testosterone helps recovery. It also makes sense why my ..... is so small hahahaha

People seem to think more is better, its not true. Do you want to borrow a book?

Switching over to hormone replacement therapy has been a game changer. It's about 80-100 per month in hormones dialed in by a full blood panel every 6 months. Doctor adjusts accordingly. The full panel costs a bit +/- $900 but insurance cover most of it.

Most of the docs in the office are fit and lead a healthy and athletic lifestyle. The Best Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men - Elite Health Online

Bingo, and my place lets me take a month of the injections home with me for self admin, so one trip a month to the clinic.

How can that luscious mane not be in WSBK? But seriously, if Petrucci can get a spot with a team then Gagne deserves it as well. But I guess politics and such…

Yep, there are established supply lines. Consider how many riders have transitioned from MotoGP to WSBK and then how many from MA to WSBK?
 
^ Yea hoping Gerloff can do something that all the other BMW riders haven't been able to do in over 4 seasons. I am hopeful but based on what we have seen from BMW they have big challenges ahead still.
 
Moto America’s coverage is kinda annoying, I want more footage of Gagne but he’s so far out front that he gets very little airtime lol

But one thing I saw him doing that immediately stood out.

When he’s coming off a turn he keeps his body in the same place relative to the ground but pops the bike upward underneath him to get on the meat of the tire earlier than everyone else.

I noticed it because when I’m on the supermoto bike I do the same thing, did it on accident at first but then realized it works.

At lean coming off the curve you just keep your body as-is but kind of straighten your outside arm while pushing down on the outside peg…your body doesn’t move away from the bike, you move the bike away from you…stands it up just a bit earlier while holding the line. Sort of a quick little popping motion.

Gunna try it on the big bike this season.

Give it a shot Steven, hope it works well for you!

Two other techniques will do the same, with less physical effort:
1. Apply the throttle earlier. This will help the bike 'stand up' earlier, and you let the bike move away from you.
2. At the point you wish the bike to become more upright, turn the steering into the corner. Again, let the bike move away from you.

Same results, less effort, more easily repeatable.

That little pop up move is really easy on a little Supermoto bike, and doesn’t upset the bike at all, we’ll see on the big bike.

I’ll try the steering thing for sure, thanks for the tip.

I ordered a crash cage for the K5 Gixxer, that bike has no electronic nannies, so since I’m not gunna track it I’m going to use it to do drills with…managing front and rear slides at lean, getting a sense of mastery of control in lots of different slip angles, throttle positions etc., with very few consequences.
 
First of all Congratulations on your healthy and amazing 60's birthday. The number of people who enjoy their lives after their 50s and 60’s now decreasing. The reason for this is health issues. They don’t take extra care of their health as their body demands at this age. Thanks for sharing the game-changing product.
