    Riding off

    ...as in riding off into the sunset, so to speak. Haven't been that active on the board in the last more than a little while. Unfortunately that corresponded to the RC spending more time idle than it deserved. With that as a premise, the little beast is headed to a new home. I was apparently...

    Running lights and headlight defeat

    So looking at my bike today with the fairings off, an 18, I noticed that there is a loom that goes into the nose piece that comes down the right side of the bike to 2 connectors.

    Stabilizer necessary?

    Just curious to hear from guys who track their RC390's... is a steering stabilizer necessary on these bikes? I'm sure it depends on track and how hard you are riding, but it seems a lot of the cup bikes don't have them so I assume they are probably not as important as on a bigger bike?

    Ari at Sonoma

    Ari Henning recently posted an article about his RC390 race prep. He took it up to Sonoma and not only won, but set a new lap record too. ;) He's got a lot of nice aftermarket parts on his bike. Definitely something to drool over. :) Looks like the Daily Motion video wont embed. :confused...
