Reference the brakes, were you on the long or short course? I can't remember is it 5-miles and 7-miles or something else?

I made my rookie run on the short 3mile and then they had a combo course that i did the rest of my licensing runs. Then I ran the long course on my 2 record runs 5-miles. I let off at the 4. Found out I only needed to go to the 3. The bike was topped out by the 2 so there was no need to run any farther than the 3. As for the breaks you dont need them just let off the gas and down shift. At 206mph at maxton i never use the front breaks. I spread them apart and dont touch them all day.

Congrats Kevin!

Now bring that sucker to Maxton in Sept. for some fun.

I would love to but i went way over budget for the salt and out of funds. Plus i just need a break. Give me a call. I will give you the inside scoop.

how far must you travel at a constant speed for it to count?

 

[Commuta_Busa]

it's the avearage speed at the start and end of each mile after the run up. In other words, your mph is the average for the entire mile.
