Just a quick update to say that I'm still VERY pleased with this BBK. Hot Damn, this thing is fun! Had it out at DCTC on Saturday with only 500 miles on the clock. I got two full session in and it was a riot! I rode a bit on Sunday and now I'm at about 600 miles on the build.

There are a few of us that want to organize a reoccurring mid-week Grom (and other little bikes) event at DCTC next summer. We might work with RCP to see if he wants to help organize it. Since we can't "race" at DCTC, it would be track day style with, hopefully, race style 'sessions' with a start and finish, but not timed so it cannot be called 'racing'. There's some ideas floating around, but I think the majority want a supersport style class with stock displacement, basic intake, exhaust and fuel programmer engine mods only, and the usual stuff like suspension, clipons, rearsets etc. Makes me glad I have a stock Grom to work with.

Trouble with this is, Kyle Ohnsorg is pumped to participate. I used the 181 to get around him by a long shot on the straights, but I waited up for him to get about 4 or 5 bike lengths behind as we got to the end of the straight. That didn't stop him from BOMBING the first corner and showing me what corner speed is all about. I couldn't believe my eyes! KO is a seriously skilled rider. I need to learn from him. Thankfully, going back and for with him got my Grom speed up tremendously. Knees down all over the place. I still don't trust those little tires as much as I could. There are narrow chicken strips left still and I haven't scraped pegs (i have smaller/shorter CBR pegs on mine, fyi). The short wheel base just feels so sketchy on that rough track. Enough excuses! I thought I'd let you all know this is in the works and we want to raise awareness and get some participation for these events. Hopefully we can make it work.

^Excellent!

Seriously though, bike looks great

The aesthetic differential between bike and owner is too great. You are disqualified.
