This rear Bridgestone was made eight years ago, it has 4 days of racing on my SV650. The front has eight days of racing. Saturday with AFM at Buttonwillow was the final day for both of them. I did practice and four races with three podiums. I replaced the front with one that was made 14 years ago and a new rear. On Sunday with AHRMA I did practice and three races with two podiums. I don’t normally use tires that are this old but they were stored well and the price was right.

Three AHRMA races =Two podiums and a PB lap on this bike.

#dragging your knee just increases friction.

Four AFM races @ Buttonwillow = three podiums.

Life giving shade.

Someone asked me why I was unloading my bike after last weekends races when I’m racing again this weekend. To wash it, of course.

Two Races. Two Podiums.

My OCO kicked in when I saw this block off plate with nuts and washer spacers because the bolts were too long. Always save nuts and bolts you don’t need so you can fix things like this.

Deck Height is how you adjust a two stroke port timing by changing the thickness of the base gaskets. This tool uses two dial gauges to average out the wobble of the piston. The tool that looks like a dentist drill is being used to chamfer the edges of the ports so the piston ring is pushed into it’s grove gently.
