Trackdays here come under rider education. Ya, I would think that with the rules in place regarding passing, that would be reasonable. You know insurance companies though. The first thing they do is look for reasons to NOT pay!! It would be worth asking the question I suppose. Hypothetically, of course!!

Just looking back at the recent photos, will you be needing to chase the wind screen down any when your crouched down or is it the ok height? Hard to tell from photos of its tall or just an optical illusion

Might be kinda fun to jump to the "Vintage Fast" group some time though, eh Walms! My personal goal is to get rid of the chicken strips! Actually, something else to consider... Formal racing pretty much puts you in the same league as a smoker as far as life insurance goes... Just throwing it out there! My dad is a retired agent and that was his first concern that I was violating my policy and if the worst actually happened, there maybe a legal battle that "trackday" is or not technically racing. Insurance policies are issued based on your status at time of issue and do not carry exclusions for later hobbies one may take up. In fact, even if you fail to disclose something, they carry a one or two year "con-testability Period" that says after the time specified, all bets are off. Material misstatements excepting of course, ya cant lie about stuff like dangerous hobbies "if asked". This is based on my being a MetLife rep for over 10 years. I am not positive Canadian underwriting rules are the same as in NY however. But its pretty well an industry standard.

Good information, Steve. My experience, which is worth exactly what I'm charging you for it, is that insurance companies don't quibble about paying off... ...once. If they don't like the odds after that, you're canceled.

My dad told me the same about smoking many years back Steve, but I'm not sure if I'd be so bold to get a "licence" to do so without at least disclosing it, even after the fact.

Working on the new/old Kerker KR 'race' pipe, the Dynojet jet kit, the K&N filters and a few other superfluous details. It's a slow process folks, but we're getting there.

Good luck with a dynojet kit... I have in my tool box a number 200 main from a dynojet kit and a 200 main from mikuni and you can visually see a difference.... But, to give you a starting point, the "old rule of thumb" is to take the size of your main, and add 15% to it (so a 200 would be a 230) and go up 2-3 sizes on your pilot, leave the needle alone. Then do some plug chops, your an E test centre, you still got the drum in the floor ? Strap the bike down and start rippin some gears....
