Hello from a track day noob

Post by MrPuttPutt »

Hi to all,

I would just like to introduce myself to the forum. My few recent excursions to Eastern Creek on the trusty 'busa are looking to be habit forming :roll:. With this in mind, I decided that buying a track bike would be the best course of action. Thanks to all in this forum whose comments and pearls of Kawasaki-wisdom have led me to purchase a 05 ZX-6R as being the ideal track bike :kuda: . From reading these forums, it is clear that you have a great GREEN community here. Looking forward to introducing myself at a future track day.

Cheers

Welcome to KSRC MrPuttPutt wave.gif
Nice purchase with the 636, they make a brilliant track bike..... Now we can get to work on converting you from a Bussa to a ZX14 :lol:

Welcome PuttPutt!

Nice 636 - you'll love it, they're awesome fun :kuda: Though you might be wondering where the rest of the power is, as you come down the straight, since you're used to the Busa :lol:

See you around 8)

Thanks for the welcome all.

I did test a zx-14 before the 'busa, but the roasting my right calf copped put me off! As for wondering where the power is, I think I will be too busy trying to work out how to change gears between turns 2 -10 :roll:.

Just ride a 9 and you can stay in third all the way from turn 2 to 12. :kuda:
