I definately need better tires and suspension. I am getting a woody seeing you guys knee down on a scoot.

if you can convert your wheels to 12" you'll have better selection of race tires for your Aerox, it will give you more confidence in leaning the scooter.

I am looking at lean angle more than anything else. My current Michelin Reggae's will not do that kind of lean angle with the stock suspension. I am looking at the Boppers and some Pirelli's but I think that will just make the rear shock issue that much worse.

I'm the big guy in the green and black suit riding the black bike......and yeah, I got him on the exit of the corner, he dropped in a little too tight and yeah...........all over after that.
One thing about track racing, size does matter. I weight about 110 kg whereas most of my competition weighs around 70kg. They walk away from me down the straightaways, but boy does my big ass catch em through a corner!

Oh yeah, just to stick my two cents in about the whole safety gear aspect......
have any one of you guys ever been to a "real" drag strip? yeah, I mean real with concrete walls on either side of the track, fencing outside of that, and a yellow line down the middle to split the lanes..........well if you have, and you've raced that is, you should know, you've gotta wear a FULL LEATHER SUIT or they won't even let your ass do a burnout.
for those of you doing those back road races with metal barriers and haybales lining the sides of the roads, go right on ahead.... I personally don't give a fuck about how much pain you're gonna be in when the Dr. has to graft skin off your ass to use on your hands and face........for those of us who do things atleast semi-professionally, we all know that the 300-400 euros on a good suit is all part of the game. straight up, I don't understand how people go and spend thousands to put the best stuff on their bike, but won't spend another couple hundred to protect their body, JUST IN CASE, something goes wrong. Oh and if you think it doesn't happen, I was racing 600cc rice rockets in Florida last year, and the guy in the other lane's chain broke, locking his real wheel, and sent him into me at 95 mph. Freak accident, but it does happen.
