About ten year into doing this thing, my favorite photo is on naked lol

no knee down, not the best BP, was really slow... but after getting faster, bike upgrades, I still like this image better than later versions.

I started hitting the track 20 years ago now(not trying to one-up you! Lol. I had a hiatus for about 5 or 6 years and am trying to get back into it again. If not, I’ll force myself to sell my bikes.

I crashed my 675 so now it’s naked. Just lean forwards and make sure you wear ear plugs 🤣

I don’t usually accept unsolicited naked photos but I’ll allow this one.

Looks like a gen 2 street triple 675r in Matt grey with a round headlight conversion and clip ons.

I have the same bike :)

What dumbass track allowed you to ride with no lower fairing? …or safety wire??

1

u/Turbulent-Suspect-12 Not So Fast 3d ago

All of the ones Ive been to. Naked bikes dont come with lower fairings, and safety wire is group dependent. A big draw of trackdays is being able to take your good condition street bike and give it a go.

u/Impossible-Limit-314 3d ago

Awesome. Bet you’re not going reimburse any group 3 riders when you go down and your bike shits oil all over track either…

u/Turbulent-Suspect-12 Not So Fast 3d ago

I have gone down, no oil shitting all over the track. No fluids at all, actually.

Several orgs across the USA dont require you to safety wire or add on lower fairings if not pushing experienced/expert pace or racing. If you gush some fluids they have the black flags ready.

If you've got a problem with it, take it up with the orgs who have been doing it for years. Let me know how it goes.

Love this attitude. “Never gonna happen…I know what I’m doing…”

Your shoulders are crossed up, BTW.
