You are sure going high tech! My track bike is rattle can painted, with numbers on it using the stickers you can get from dealerships. There's a big dent in the fuel tank where I fell off in the hail at the end of March. I spent all my money on entry fees, six sets of DOT tires, a set of rain tires, a generator, tire warmers, and a whole lot of other stuff I can't even remember now. Going racing is like going to war in comparison to track days. Because you go from a standing start and you are racing immediately, there's no sighting lap to get tires up to temperature, and the requirements for the paddock and bike are far more rigorous than track days.
Here's the bike. If you look closely, you can see where I repaired the tail section. If you look even closer, you can see the big dent in the fuel tank right under my arm. Good thing I am not to attached to it!
My next race weekend is coming up, and I have been working on the bike off and on for quite a while just to get it where it should be. I still haven't adjusted to it completely. A 2004 Gixxer feels like a big slow pig relative to a Daytona 675!
Oh, yeah, I can't think straight at work, either.
