Marchesini and Pirelli Slicks
Match made in WSBK heaven lol

[Andy7]

I decided to do some shopping while I wait.
Should I do the classic font or the throwback 80's font

I just had the same dilemma a week ago. Ended up with the left one that’s got the current font

I decided to do some shopping while I wait.
Should I do the classic font or the throwback 80's font

Brembo T drives
I've used these on several bikes in the past so it was a easy decision to put these on the track wheels.

I bought these a while ago so I was able to weigh them vs the Braketech Irons.

Weights & Measures
Stock Rotors 1376g Left 1381g right 2767g total
Braketech Iron 1599g Left 1611g right 3210g total
Brembo T-drives 1583g Left 1586g right 3169g total
These wheels use 10mm longer rotor bolts. Which come with the wheels but I opted for some Mettec Ti instead.

 

[HKMP7]

Now for a bit of fun.
I put a picture of these rotors in one of my previous post "where's waldo style". No one noticed lmao

Well, the Bright Gold Foil is a clever distraction but please give us a chance to play the Where's Waldo again

Track equipment
This is something that bothers me to the point I wanted to find a solution. Using the VP gas can to fill the bike and spilling gas EVERYWHERE. No matter how hard I try I get gas either on myself or all over the bike. So I found a fix. This is a pump for the 5 gallon race jugs and will eliminate my spillage. It comes with threaded adapters to affix it to the gas can. I wish I would have found this a long time ago.
TeraPump TRFA01-XL is the model
Has some cool features like auto shut off and pumps 2.4 gallons per min.

 

[Tsaico]

Yeah, everytime I gas up after a session, it sure does feels like a chore, been eyeballing something easier.

your solution might be the ticket ! Thanks!

I've gotten used to a system wherein I bend the hose to fit into the gas tank, then put the jug on my shoulder and gradually tip it to pour fuel a little at a time. It takes longer than I'd like, but doesn't spill much. Been eyeing a different solution, but 75 bucks is a teensy bit out of my price range. Maybe there's a hand pump equivalent.

I know the feeling. But I've probably spilled at least $50 in fuel over the years lol. I'm done with that ha ha.

 

[Tsaico]

Im aiming to eliminate mishaps...i want to be safe than sorry....thats my take...(insurance policy....)

i was sold immediately....after I saw it was standing next to Ducati V4...lol

 

[craig bush]

Have any of you guys tried the quick fill caps on a plastic jug? I use them and love them - maybe more than my Pitbull TRS if that tells you anything

Just turn them upside down, place the spout in the tank fill neck, and press down - not a drop spilled. Think I paid $40/ea + shipping.

I saw those also but I would still have to lift the gas can lol.
I thought about getting one of these lmao.
They would kick me out if I showed up for a trackday with this.
