Just order some all balls fork seals to replace my busted ones on the R1 forks. Also planning on changing oil and filter this weekend.

Got a lil practice session in today. Ended the day saving a staggered wheelie only to whisky throttle the bike out under me. I think I sprained my right thumb but I'll heal up. Bent both subcage pegs and my clips. Battery tray came loose somehow. I'll have to look into it another day.

I worked on my stoppies today. Definitely feeling more comfy with the rear wheel in the air. Still plowing but occasionally popping it up and rolling a few feet. I'm trying to tap the rear brake as I come down but my foot doesn't feel comfy covering the brake as I approach. I find myself searching for the foot brake as I come to a stop. More practice and it'll feel natural.

Staggered wheelie are great! I'm popping it up pass BP, tapping the rear brake and playing with body position. I even did a 180 staggered today. At first I was just unintentionally going left but then I started steering it left and 180'ed it once. YEA!!!!!!!!!

I'm facing the issue of stalling out at BP. I'm currently running 3k so I think I'll try 4k next session and see how that play out.

I've finally scraped down my stock exhaust enough to where I'm starting to scrape the 12 bar again. I'll post some pics of it tomorrow. Shit looks straight busted.

My thumb isn't broken, so that's good. It's pretty sore though. I hope I heal up for a Sunday session. Can't wait to get in some more practice.

Just reminded myself I need to fix my bike.

Today's session was cool.

My wheelies sucked ass but I was able to scrape down my exhaust a little more. I'm not even sure I scrape the 12 bar today.

Stoppies were blah. I had a few good rolls but mostly plowing.

I did do some christ passes. Did one on the seat, felt cool. Then jumped straight on the tank. Couldn't grow the balls to acid drop onto my tank. I tired but it's so F'ing scary. I kept pysching myself out.

So goal for next session is to acid drop onto tank and practice drifting. I need to smoke out my current track tire and run a street tire for drifting purposes.
