How do you post more than one pic at a time?

 

Has anyone noticed that Yamaha's website says that the LE comes stock with the super Corsa's? I looked at mine and they are just the Diablo Corsa's. I have been running Diablo Corsa's on my 04 R1 for the last two years and really like them. I wouldn't mind trying the super corsa's for the track.

 

Whats the deal with the Chicken Strips on the rear tire?

 

lol, didn't even notice till you pointed it out

Great looking bike! Personally, I think you are criminally insane for taking an LE out to the track, but if ya got the cash right? =)

Where did you get the vinyl for the number in front?

 

i can't wait to go to racing school and actually ride on a track i bet it's a blast. :rock

 

The chicken strips are from riding the straight roads around here. There isn't a curve except one good on ramp from 41 to 441, within an hours ride. I just haven't been riding except to the gym to lift and back. If you look closer you will see the tire is used all the way to the edge from the last track day, the wear you see now is from local riding. You know I just thought of something you are looking at the front tire. You are right for some reason on the track the whole rear tire gets used but, I never seem to get the entire front? Oh well, I've never claimed to be mr. Joe racer. Nice attempt at insulting me!!! I have thick skin over my muscles!!!

where did you get the #43 custom made?

 

I hate to sound like a d*ck, but it seems that u didn't ride hard at all in the track.

on my last track day i chewed up both my front and rear tires. and i wasn't even draggin my knees. im no pro racer myself. but with does strip would wasn't turnin with much angle.

both my front and rear are chewed up, and need new tires asap. i was so happy when i saw that i basically wasted about $300 worth of tires in 1 day. and they where street tires. i dont know why but it was sastifiyin to me :crash

anyways sweet bike, but you need to work on the strips lol :crash


i could only wish to have a le, oh to dream........

 

. but with does strip would wasn't turnin with much angle.

WTF does that mean???! Anyways, sounds like he had fun, leave it at that. Congrats, man!!!

 

Don't listen to the haters man. Glad you had a great time and that you bought home your baby safe and sound. I'm taking my LE out tomorow to Willow. See you guys when I get back. I'll take some pics for everyone to see...chicken stripe or no chicken stripe.:butt

 

You guys crack me up! I ride plenty hard enough. We could get into the big debate over dragging a knee, but that's already been done. If you are dragging a knee at 100 mph in the carousel at Road America like I was you are riding pretty good in my book. I wouldn't be riding Nesba Intermediate if I wasn't riding ok. I turn 1.20-1.24 laps at Black hawk. CCS guys turn 1.15-1.17. But, what is the point of doing a track day? Have fun, ride within your capabilities, learn, get better. What's the other thing??? oh ya no matter how fast you think you are or your bike, there is someone faster. I don't want to be a joe wanta be racer. I enjoy going to the track with my friends and riding (what i consider to be hard) in a safe environment. Here is a pic from last year on my 04. Is this enough lean angle to get rid of chicken strips?

 

Here is my tire after a couple sessions that day. Torn up enough for a track day having fun?
The 43 is just stickers for mailboxes bought at Walmart.

 

ahh dont let people get you fired up,

and i think if you dont take the LE to the track you wasted 7k, i would put some race plastic on it thugh and keep the stock stuff pretty, just cut the headlight and taillight out if you want to keep it street legal and not change out the plastics all the time

looks great and again congrats for having the sense to use the bike for what it was made for

 

ok...blah blah...where did you get the number!!!???

 

he told you already.... at walmart... nice bike i wish i had the money to do some trackdays

i don't think they are that expensive

 

Bike looks good all track prepped up. Glad to hear you're ridin' it like it was meant to be ridden and not just posing on a garage queen, braggin' that you have an LE.

 

i don't think they are that expensive

its around $200 a day

 

Good job taking the LE out to the track! So many LEs are wasted sitting in a garage.

 

Awesome man. Sounds like you had a blast.

Don't listen to the pricks that gave you crap about the chicken strips. They probably sit on the couch and watch racing while you are out on the track. It's all about having fun and not comparing fu(king tire strips. :2bitchsla

 

on my last track day i chewed up both my front and rear tires. and i wasn't even draggin my knees. im no pro racer myself. but with does strip would wasn't turnin with much angle.

You must of had a set of shitty Pirelli's, they dont last long at all:finger

 

Thanks guys. The negative comments don't bother me because when on the internet you can consider the source as any body you want.
I don't know about race plastic? I try to do one track day a month, so I don't know if it would be worth it. Track days are expensive. This Nesba day at RA is 170, gas for the bike and truck, food etc.. Luck RA is close so we don't have hotel expenses. I plan to use my LE just like I did my 04. Trips to the gap, lead local rides, track days etc... I like the bikes performnce and that it's kinda unique, but to me it's just another bike that I have owned and will ride.

 

damn ccs is that slow? only 5 secs off Intermediate group pace!

 

That's what these sportbikes are made for.Congrats, man! I do track days only twice a year, but I think exactly like you.I go just to have fun, learn to ride better and I do so riding on my pace.
I think it's a waste to buy a R1 and never take it to the track, where you can really ride it hard.

 

Is that black tape on your headlights or covers of some sort? If they're covers, where did ya get 'em?
