Well, I caught another of the elusive elbow draggers on video! First Hot Carl and now Nik "Elbowz Jr" Lenski.
Nice race Lenski, can't wait for Pikes!

Nice race... and entertaining video. What did you use to chop it up with?

Elbows Jr. I like that. Once again great video! Your going to have to help teach me around at PPIR though!

Pretty sure we all hate Pikes, so we'll all be tailing each other I think. What gearing are you running? Everyone else? 15/44, 15/45, 15/46, 15/47???Elbows Jr. I like that
I have not ever changed my gearing...from 15/46. I'd like to get a 45 here soon though.

Does anyone still run stock gearing? 16/45? I think that is what I am running. I know for sure I am running 16. But will have to check the rear sprocket.
Do you run it for all tracks or stock for all but PPIR and down for PPIR?

I run 15 46 and have ran that for 4 years... I have issues with turn 7 to 8 at Pueblo with that gearing, but have stuck with it. Someday I might fool around with it a little bit, but I go a bit taller since I am not a featherweight like quite a few guys out there. 200 on an r6 really blows
I'm guessing PPIR you should be down a tooth or two than what you are used to riding, but I'm going to stick with what I got!

David do you mind me asking how and where you are getting your go pro mounted? I can not get mine to feel solid enough for me to not worry about it flying off during a race.

Cool info... Ya, I am 200lbs too so I know the feeling. But I am also a bit less fit than you. I have rolls in all the right places.
mmm jelly...

I'm kinda thinking the gearing that worked for HPR this last round may work for Pikes too, but we'll see...

I used to gear shorter for PPIR, but the last time I went I left my taller HPR gearing on and it actually worked better.

Yeah, I generally try to gear Pikes such that I'm not grabbing an extra shift or banging off the limiter in that little section between 3-4. The bike is so bizarrely different this year though that I won't know where to put it until I get there. My first try at HPR was definitely too short, dropping 2 in the rear got that set nicely.

Yup that's the same section that would determine my gearing selection as well... hope what I have will be ok through there.Yeah, I generally try to gear Pikes such that I'm not grabbing an extra shift or banging off the limiter in that little section between 3-4.

Those sticky mounts work great. I have the front one mounted at the base of my screen. If you don't have any mounts left you can buy a grab bag of mounts online or @ REI.
Better yet, I think you should mount it on your helmet visor to interfere w/ your vision. That way we might have a chance to catch you!
Ha -7.25 vision and loosing a contact mid race is not enough? I almost shit myself going into 4s with one eye closedThose sticky mounts work great. I have the front one mounted at the base of my screen. If you don't have any mounts left you can buy a grab bag of mounts online or @ REI.
Better yet, I think you should mount it on your helmet visor to interfere w/ your vision. That way we might have a chance to catch you!maybe I can use it as a secondary vision source. Thanks for the info though and I'll look into those mounts....I'd like to get some feedback on my slower areas.
I just remembered that I think it was 3 years ago when you were on that orangeish kawi we were going back and forth a bit at PPIR. I think that was the last time I raced there.... Should be fun!
Like I said that was the most back and forth dicing I have ever had this past weekend, and it was a lot more fun, makes you focus on a strategy more than racing. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!

Yeah, just watch out for those waving yellows!
Then again, how could I blame you for not seeing it w/ one eye closed!
Good riding man. Looking forward to dicing it up w/ you this weekend as well. I'm sure Tabor and Niles will be up there as well. If Niles can get his bike pieced back together that is.
Dude i thought that was you giving me the yellow bird

Can we start a "get the pumpkin off Carl's head" fund? This would be in effort to raise enough money to buy a new helmet for Carl, so I don't have to look at that day-glo globe ruining beautiful pictures like this!
I got $20 on it!!!
orange flag!!!! Slow down!! Oh wait, there is no orange flag?? Nevermind it's just Carl
