And IF i start gettin' into track days..The VMax will not be my bike to ride...I'll look into getting a GSXR 750 or 1k for just the track days.. I wouldn't want to take the Max all the time to something like this..

And if you have EVER ridin' with me you will know i don't use my brakes much @ all.. I decel..I like to stay in the right gear and not wait to find out what to do when i come up or in the turn.. Allway ridin' like this and will never change because it works for me..Of course if i come in too HOT i'll use them,but i try not too..Ask anyone who ride behind me..

Shaun, found out the 1st time we went to the TEXAS hill county ride..Brakes slow u down

Oh, Ok, sorry, it's a complete misunderstanding from my Side.

You want to got to the Race Track, and i thought you wanted to RIDE on a Race Track.

Sorry, my deeply felt Apologies, won't happen again.

Put it this way, Front Brake pads OEM lasted me 36000miles and still looked good but for the left side..Rear lasted me 50000miles..Now, do you think i use my brakes a lot???

I'll be on the race track, but it's not 1st, 2nd or 3rd place kinda day..I'll be runnin' the hard @ times, but not a RACE.. It's a School to better yourself @ the TRack..

Sorry, the Way these Schools operate over here, they school how to ride on a Race Track and in raccy Manner. This means, looking and finding the good Line with a late Entry, braking hard, accelerating on the Apex, standing the Bike up early and give it full Throttle through the Gears until the next breaking Point.

If you ride like you mentioned above, you'll be lost at the Track, it's not the Way Road Racing works. It's like you're going to hit a Drag Strip and behave there as if you'd standing at a Light on the Street in a Traffic Jam, wait till it's green, let the Clutch come out and accelarate mildly until you stop behind the next Car, never hit 3rd Gear.

Like i said, it's a complete misunderstanding.

That's why i'm going..To learn something new..I'm always open to something new..Or a way of riding, eventho it will be hard to knock into my dumb A$$..

I'll give a run down when i'm do with the track day..Hope i don't crash the BEAST..And come away with some good ridin skills..

Afraid he's right Ted.

Danny mentioned that he upgraded to DOT 5.1 in his track bike for the higher boiling point. You will have to use your brakes, ALOT and anything less than 5.1 may just boil and lose it's effectiveness quickly. At the very least you'll need to swap out your brake fluid before Eureka for safety in the corners.
