SICK!!!

That looks like one beautiful track and those guys make me look pretty bad without even trying. What the heck kind of jacket does that guy have on? Looks like feathers.

Thanks for NOT posting this next to my vids of me in my thread.

rook it looks like one of those mossy oak hunting jackets lol

That's good. I'm glad it isn't Elton John.

RIGHT ON!!!!That's the best on board cam footage I've seen of a real track day!SWEET!!Is he ridin a 14?....probably not,right?It sounds like a 14 when he gets on it in the straights.I can really see the difference there in that "track layout" and some of the roads up here.VERY similar actually.But I wouldn't even really try to get my baby around these roads like they were doin.If it weren't for the oncoming traffic factor....I could "possibly" see it.Great vid Scott!!!

BTW...how ya likin that throttle mod?You know...your bike is setup very similar to mine.Wish we could get out and go someday!

Wow that sniper was really getting down low there.

blue in the comments area i think he says hes riding a gixxer 600

blue im lovin that 1/5 turn the biggest thing ive noticed is when im getting on it thru the first 4 gearsthe front end comes up rather easily guess cause its easier hitting wot now

Thanks a lot, Scott. Now I'm on a track bike kick. I have to have a little tracked out 600 now. The wife will be happy. NOT! lol

Thanks Scott.Ya...I love my 1/5th also...very nice.

That was f**king badass when he touched his helmet on the ground.

Me too...except I don't give a fork about what the wife thinks 'cuz now she is an ex. I need a 600. or a 2011 ZX-10 would be just what I need. The problem is storage space (and money, of course).

that would be called a ghille suit.. hence the title lol

Great video! I love track days, though I won't be able to go this year due to the expense of fixing the Busa after piling it up at the track last year.
I need a track bike too. May see if I can come up with a salvage title 600 of some sort next spring.

what does salvage title mean? Wrecked bike? Not restored to ridable condition?

I'll take a stab at it. Salvage means, this title holds crash papers. It has been in an accident. It is like a wall of an old house you keep as 'grandfathered in' so as it is a salvaged house but all brand new short of the wrinkles on that one wall. So, if it is bent, you may have to prove it is not with a piece of paper that says it is within spec as in not bent and runs sideways down the road.

Ever see those cars? Crashed and crinkled with salvaged fenders that were not smashed. Assemble the car and now if it is roadworthy, better prove every corner it's straight and safe to use. Loved seeing those 4 wheels behind a car looking like it's about to turn but never does. It just moves along all straight ahead but in a drift.

^^For cheap, I guess I would take a wrecked bike for a track machine. It might get wrecked anyway.

Rook:

You might consider an older bike as well. I picked up a 1995 YZR600R former race bike for $1,500. Having a blast with it on the track... -bg

3/4 of the "race" class track bikes at our local (if you can call 200 miles away "local") track have salvage titles.
If a bike has been declared a "total" by the insurance company, and it is resold, it is sold with a "salvage title" which renders it un-licenseable for street usage.
Example of a "totaled" bike. A 3-4 year old Gixxer 600 that had been stolen. Thieves had yanked the bars back and forth until they'd elongated the hole in the steering head tube that the ignition lock pin went into. "Frame damage".. totaled. It had a scratched right side fairing and the elongated lock pin hole, otherwise a pristine, low mileage, Gixxer 6. Perfect track bike in the neighborhood of $2500-$3000.

That is less $$ than I have spent on mods for the 14. I could afford a bike like that but the problem would be storage ---hmmmm

that's dustin on his gixxer 600 at chuckwalla valley raceway. i've raced against him with ccs. he's a former #1 plate holder out here and a big time hunter hence the ghillie suit over his leathers. good guy just being silly.
