This was the first big race I'd missed since first zipping up the leathers in May, and at a place where I'd love to run. Big, fast and a little scary. Meanwhile, there's bench racing. Keep up the good work and good luck. Regards Douglas Roy This, of course, is the essence of bench racing.
Street riders ask racers what they do to improve the bike, and slower racers ask faster racers.
Of course, nobody gives up their real secrets, but usually they'll help out. In this case, I pointed out that we're pretty much limited to stock parts, aside from a jet kit and free-flowing exhaust. But we did talk about suspension settings a bit. The Skorpion Cup limits us to the stock rear shock, which only has preload adjustment. Many race bikes run very trick, mind-numbingly adjustable rear shocks made by companies such as Fox and Penske, and many street riders follow suit.
