SUMO VS. SPORTBIKE PARKING LOT TRACK DAY??? - 500EXC and CBR600RR

[@jonsisk87]

Hail yeah! Great video. I was looking forward to this one

[@shiftlove]

THANKS!!!

[@Jajeweet]

That's like a little private supermoto track man! Super jealous right now.

[@shiftlove]

needs an offroad section and another set of stairs lol!

[@Jajeweet]

Yeah a dirt section would finish it off. If only you rode foot-out this video would be perfect! Knee-down on a sumo is so awkward to me lol.

[@shiftlove]

i have more asphalt experience than dirt so that the main reason why i use that body position. but i ride foot out when the turn calls for it (tighter and slower). knee down where corner speed is higher. the lower you make the center of gravity on the bike, the less you need to lean it. the less you lean it, the more stable you will be.

[@Jajeweet]

I can understand it. I mostly ride asphalt too. I used to ride knee-down on "normal" bikes but found it too awkward on the supermoto. I only ever ride foot-out. I found that the supermoto handles lean angles really well. Can easily scrape pegs on rougher surfaces even. The suspension just soaks everything up!

[@traineeadv]

I just watched this video... the police in my city are on the way to my house for just entertaining the idea lol :(

[@shiftlove]

thats why you gotta go far out, to find something good. schools on sundays, warehouses that close during the weekend, and a good line of sight for cars around turns. the lots are out there, you just gotta look for them, I've had cops come by and they've never had any issues with this.

[@traineeadv]

@@shiftlove I run minimoto on the local kart tracks instead

[@shiftlove]

i dont have a kart track in my area that lets bikes on outside of the 3 tmgp rounds we get per year. closest options are 200+ miles away

[@traineeadv]

@@shiftlove I'll still trade... 6 months of winter means 330miles each way to run indoors!

[@shiftlove]

id love to run on an indoor track! track is always perfect that way lol

[@JasonBoslow]

The ideas going through my head...prob would have the cops called as soon as we made the first lap, but man...great idea/video! Got me thinking for sure!!

[@shiftlove]

find somewhere with no one around and you'll be able to get at least 30 minutes before you need to change lots lol

[@shiftlove]

someone on here is jealous of all the fun I'm having. I doubt the validity of that thumbs down LMAO

[@s13blue240sx]

I've been thinking about this very thing. Something like the CBR600 it's probably not that impressive but I'd thinking on that supermoto or anything less than 50hp or so this would be a blast and I don't know what laws you'd really be breaking doing it in an empty public parking lot.

[@post-punkrider]

No ECR till April at earliest i heard

[@shiftlove]

short track maybe? here I am still paying my monthly dues and not being able to use it...

[@post-punkrider]

@@shiftlove Still havent seen what the actual track layout is to be yet. Me and friend were looking at joining few months back cause he was told we could join and not have to pay monthly till back open and stay at the current rate. Now i think we'll wait till open but take risk its going to go up in price.

[@shiftlove]

theyre definitely going to raise the entry price. i think the price was disclosed on a recent email, it was 5k or up i believe. ive seen the new layout, it looks sweet. also, theyre supposed to finish the short track first, and then the long track will be later. but man. i do miss going to the track every weekend...

[@davery99]

I fast forwarded for the chase/arrest scene but didn’t see it (?)

[@shiftlove]

not gonna happen either! if no ones around, no ones gonna call the cops. also, this lot is adjacent to the one they teach the m/c license class in. so theyre probably used to the noise

[@royalriding1720]

Yo. I bought a yz450f in sumo trim. And i know about an empty parking lot near my house

[@shiftlove]

go hit it! then post the video on my fb @shiftlove138

[@tylerjones8179]

just dont hit your knee on the curb

[@shiftlove]

definitely not hitting the apex in a parking lot lol
