Not to high jack the thread here... but...
I got Hall's 2 bikes and was looking at ways to make them better. i'm lost on what to do. i honestly don't think i can make them any better besides the lighter wheels.
so kind of back to one of the questions, if you were to just change one wheel, what would be the best to go with and how would it affect the bike lossing the extra weight on one end???

my opinion... unless your running upfront with the big boys each weekend, spend the grip on tires and schoolin.  Once your looking for that extra .10 reconsider

Hall did pretty ok on the current setup... where they sold as is?  Did he part out any performance goodies?

The superbike smokin amatuers joke was aimed at Ben if there was any doubt.

From Bens comment, it sounds like Anthony may be moving up, so good for him if this is the case.

first off, my superbike is not for beating Amatuers, ive done plenty of that, its for beating experts. Next year I will be running almost exclusivly with wera and having to run into a much deeper expert field. I am staying amatuer one more year seeing that this year was my first year of roadracing, as well as the first time I had ever ridden a streetbike, and in 08 we will be making the jump to the national scene on a open class bike, currently I dont think i am ready for that jump so I will be spending one more year learning the craft as well as other tracks. As for the wheels, one of the best things about racing is having a cool motorcycle. If you are someone like anthony or many others, who are very capable riders who are doing this for the fun and challenge of it, not the drive to make it to the AMA, then why not buy some cool parts for you motorcycle if you have the means.

Yeah, I'm just joking with you.  If you feel you need to stay amatuer another year because that is your comfort level, then that is what you should do.  I've only ridden motorcycles of any kind for a few years, so I know its a tough learning curve.

I don't have a problem with people "pimping their rides", but I do question if sometimes it doesn't complicate matters.

I know you are, im sure I could be competive running as an expert with WERA, but i dont see it benifiting me much, hopefull I will be fast enough to catch the guys I would have been running with, I just dont see the white plates giving me any type of competive advantage, and to be honest I hope the better results will help me get my name out there (while i realize am. roadracing isnt a big deal a win is a win). Anyway, I hope to see you out next season Jack, while I wont be running much ccs stuff I will most likely be at gateway since I think mw and gp will be combined when they come to town.

nah, they have everything, fork inrds, rear penski, shit, everything. i am doing at least one race school in the spring and should already have enough new tires stacked up in the closet to last at least half the year. just looking for any next little bit that will help.
