Only old farts like you NEED Viagra....for the rest it's purely recreational.

Axel's had a 600rr...his street bike. He's got the 250 and the 600rr and selling the F4.

Re: Local racing is on the menu...

Buy lots of spares---you will be bummed about not being able to finish a race because you dont have a rearset or something--many times the stock stuff will do in a pinch.

For example on the 1000RR---the clutch resovoir always gets destroyed in even minor wads.

I have NO idea how fast you are relatiev to the field--but oen can never do too many trackdays before racing

Regarding top novice---take it as it comes--sounds like with all the races at the same track--you wont have to worry about much travel "attrition" ---but showing up at at the races is gonna help alot

Finally get used to passing--starting DFL and getting to the top ten in six laps can get interesting.

Great idea Boomer! Didn't even think of aquiring some spares yet.

Passing is definately something I need to work on. Any tips?

No 600rr yet if I do get one it will be a 05 I will only be testing on it. I only have 5 races I can do next year the GT-GP solo races with the TZ 250. With school my race season can't start till May 05. Are you going to the track this weekend? I got to study for two test so I will be there only on Sunday.
