Another great piece of work!
Don't ya just love it when your giving it everything you've got and they're looking over their shoulders at you and throwing hand signals like it's a walk in the park?
I need, like, a million more hours of seat time...

Sweet vid magic 
Have to love the hand signals when a rider's behind you 
That outside pass was awfully close - good thing you held your line and didn't push out wide 
Don't you just love rolling out of the throttle as a corner approaches only to be passed by someone screaming by on the brakes - braking deep is a ton of fun...I really need to get a Brembo master cylinder (stock cylinder on the '07 gixxer is crap).
Thanks for the post - riding VIR looks like a total blast

Yup. He was totally comfortable. It really was a ton of fun.
He was towing me down that big hill way faster than I would have done on my own.
That track was the VIR "Full" course, which is the "North" course (which you see on TV for the AMA races) and the "South" course ... together ... in one big 3.4 mile circuit. Awesome.
They only do that layout a couple times per year for motorcycles.
I'm going back in OCT when they do it again ... I'm already signed up.

I think ALL gixer master cyl suck! I have an 04 600 like magics (maybe his is 05?) anyway. I had the shitty mast. cyl. swapped out for a brembo 19x20 I believe. I love, love, love passing on the brakes, so this mod is by far my most favorite thing in the world! lol. No fade, evar, with super linear input with HH pads. I actually ran some Vesra (sp?) race compounds at thunderhill back in 08 and I was giggling in my helmet because of the stopping power and confidence when combining the brembo and vesra's. Was even doing stoppies into turn 14! Can't recommend it enough!

I love it when people say this. I get a little chuckle inside. Then I watch this guy take a completely stock GSXR1000 and do this....2 up, no-less! The only change is is Dunlop Qualifiers for tires instead of whatever comes stock. It's not the master cylinder.
