Lessons Learned: 20 Pro Motorcycle Roadracing Riding Tips
A few things to think about at...
Curious how many others have found the ability to switch from 202hp for sweepers to 120hp for switchbacks useful? I pushed the race suspension settings down to my sport and wet maps to do this.
If I ever needed to limp the bike home in the rain I'd just switch to the default wet map. Until...
I made a couple of videos with my buddy he was chasing me on his 848 and than I followed him what can I say we like to have fun and ride safe !

OK folks the time is finally here. I leave tomorrow for miller motorsports park in utah for 3 days of Yamaha riding school. I met these guys at the motorcycle show and they are great. I already booked it before i met them but they made me confident i made the right choice in schools
What...
Just thought I'd post this up..
I live in a country that has very changeable weather.
Took my Panigale to the NW200 last year and it was unrideable with the supercorsas in the wet, bordering upon dangerous to ride fast..
Yes I know don't flame me these tyres are not wet tyres!!!
However!!!
I...
I've got what may be the dumbest question out there and it may or may not be a personal preference kind of thing but I'm going to ask anyways.
In my younger days I rode an Interceptor 500 and then a Ninja 750 (late 80's, early 90's)...I rode them hard and fast a lot. That being said I don't...
May leave my bike there next winter so I can ride (it's in Portland now)...but curious if anyone has any info on the area...nice pavement, twisties, cops, traffic....
Appreciate any thoughts! About 8 degrees this AM and still snowy and icy, though warming now by late afternoon...hopefully...
So, I need help figuring out what to do. As I've put more miles on the 1199 I'm not as happy with the riding position. I have the race seat, Rizoma rear sets. It feels as if I''m up too high and COG too forward. It's uncomfortable and I lose "fine touch" cornering and with throttle control...
Ok, looking for some kevlar riding jeans. Now, the Dianese ones look great, but for $249 anyone have any suggestions?

Folks,
I have noted quite a few posts concerning "wrist fatigue" while riding. I have also noted quite a few helpful suggestions. Maybe it would be best to post any helpful advise on a single thread ?
So with that said, my contribution (which I have not validated) is the possible use of...
Just curious if anyone here carries a firearm when riding. I have a permit/CC and periodically on longer rides will carry either inside with a shoulder holster , sometimes ankle and sometimes side pocket.
Again, I have a concealed carry permit so no flames please.;)
I was curious... What's everybody's preferred riding mode. Personally, I started out in the wet mode, but quickly changed to the sport. It seems the sport mode has enough power to keep me interested for now. Does anybody ride daily in "race".
Does anyone ride with MC's with their Panigale? I found a group that is fun and was curious if anyone else does the same. The one I ride with is a law abiding and I'm not advocating for anyone in particular just if anyone did that type of riding.

Has been quite wet, as what I've heard... I like the second half of 281 the one with the bird.
