and it turns out at MIR what i wore was straight, but if you run 10s or lower then u need leather pants, and i think boots
Congrats. What do you ride? I'm guessing a 600 of some sort, with some practice you should be seeing 10s

I was thinking it was that tall lanky kid riding it, thanks for the correction. Are you gonna come out much this season?

Not sure a/b your next time out but 10s should be a breeze on a gixxer750. What were your 60ft's looking like? Also I'm guessing from your low mph that you weren't going wot till maybe 2nd gear? Also how much do you weigh?

Wow, you only weigh 145lbs... damn. You had to of been taking off like you were cruising on the street. With some practice 10s will definitely be cake.
