I’ll be at Roebling for the first time second weekend of March with N2 advanced group. This was super helpful but few times I was yelling at the TV for you to accelerate 😂😂😂. Great vid and I love how humble you are about improving but most importantly you’re having fun!
@@AAron_Rides I absolutely have faith you will bud. I’m currently running a 180/60 Metzeler TD but thinking about switching to 190/60 like you. I have a 2023 Zx6r full Ktech pro race setup etc.
I'll be at Roebling 16-19 Feb for the opening AHRMA Round on my SV650 & my RS660 . I will post up my race videos. Hopefully I still remember how to get around on Roebling after 20+ years. I have thousands of miles on that track from when I lived and raced there with WERA & CCS. Not to mention all the track days. Your friend was trying to show you stay to the outside on the front straight you can carry a lot of roll speed through turn 1. Good luck this year ! Always enjoy your videos !
Made my return to Roebling last weekend . Managed a low 1:20 first race on my RS660 however Sunday I crashed on my SV. I'll be posting up my video in the next day or two. I do love that track!
@Aaron Dearborn #773 he wasn't. Now the gsxr motor is rebuilt and back to health so he will be on that this year. Funny part is even when it was healthy the gsxr made over 20 hp less than the kawasaki
oohhhh the intro/beginning was fun!. Nice B reel! The whole video was entertaining! great stuff my dude. Will be there at Tally to harass you and Steven with my camera.
@@jimmigregory468 the dash is from i2M and is their Chrome Lite version (entry level). As for tip getting into racing supersport, I would say your main focus needs to be on tires...don't worry about mods on the bike, they don't = a lap time. Best thing you can do is just show up and start asking questions. There are many things involved with racing that you simply cannot learn from the internet unfortunately.
@@AAron_Rides i have a tire deal and running the contingency program through bridgestone. im a msf coach at a dealership in indianapolis so i have in the industry hookups and support to go racing this year. ill be at all the north centeral events and hope to bump into you
@@jimmigregory468 Ok good. It's not helpful to jump around tire manufacturers while trying to get consistent. I hope to run Mid-Ohio, Summit Point and PITT so it's very possible we'll see each other.
My absolute favorite track👍. I miss racing im about to get my old TLR running to do some track days. Im 57 now so im pretty sure I won't be hitting any 1:18 anytime soon. I used to run 1:16 on a kws built 1000
Great videos! Can't wait to follow the 2023 season. Love the Kawi too. Do you see any Daytona 675s out there? I have a 2016 675 that I thought about hitting a few races with. Did track days years ago, but racing is on the bucket list.
Nice video man and yay to my buddy Didi with a great comeback after a couple of bad crashes. He’ll get back to 1:15s at RRR soon! Can’t wait to see the CSS grid this season.
allways wanted to ask, what's the difference between riding a zx10 and zx6 on track, apart from power the engine, did you was alot faster on 10 then now on 600? coming back from 1000cc to zx6r this year, and don't know what to expect how i would adopt to different riding style :D
Wow there’s a lot to unpack there. So I have basically left the ZX10R behind in terms of lap times. My riding is much more improved on the 600cc to the point where I can’t tell you what makes the difference. I’m such a different rider now. I’d have to get back on a 1000cc and get up to the same speed to properly answer you’re questions.
Turning in too early into T9 and missing the apex by a couple feet is costing you well over a second by itself. You're at the point where the little things start becoming the big things. Pause your video at the apex and see for yourself - your bike has no direction (pointing off track to the left and not down the straight), is a few feet off the curbing, and you know you can't get on the gas until you fix your direction. I'm not saying anything you literally aren't already acknowledging yourself in your commentary - but that's why you're not getting on the gas as soon/hard as you want to.
@@AAron_Rides listen to your comment about trying to get your knee over the grass (which is spot on), and you mentioned you weren’t quite there. Notice how you also ran too tight to the right into T4 and had to scrub speed to stay leaned over just a fraction second longer to finish the turn? Missing that apex by just a foot or two caused that. And you weren’t able to carry the corner speed into T4 that you wanted to. I’m telling you, that costed you 2-3 tenths alone. Multiplied by 5-8 corners…over a second without braking or adding gas any more than you already are.
Best track/race videos on YT dude.
Wow 😮 that’s high praise, thank you! Share what you like on FB if it’s not too much to ask
@@AAron_Rides If I had it I would. I wouldn’t mind dabbling in racing but I feel it’s very expensive. Even regular track days drain my wallet.
@@dancarlos1216 yeah it can be rough on the financial side!

@@21r1_tony2 That's potent setup. Yeah the 190/60 is legit. So good on the edge of the tire.
@@AAron_Rides what tire do you run?
@@21r1_tony2 I’m on Pirelli SC1’s most of the time
Fun to hear the stoke, anyone who has competed knows that feeling.

Good looking bike. You obviously take care of it.
Man I try to. Some times she gets a little bit nasty but I don’t neglect the important things.
Man what a great video. Great commentary, editing and footage. Thanks!
Thank you sir, I truly appreciate the kind words
If you practice everything like this you will continue to be smooth, soft, and consistent to be the best. You can do it. Your doin well!!!!
Thank you Alan, means a lot to hear you guys support me like this.

That’s a great time on a RS660!
I ride with Didier alot. He had always been a demon on the brakes going into Roebling turn 1. I have watched him stay tucked until the 3 board before.
Man the 3 board is insane 😅
@Aaron Dearborn #773 during the endurance race last year he ran a 1:17.6 on his gsxr 600 when it was down a cylinder.
@@codycreger1968 I heard he was not comfortable on the ZX6R, too bad

running wera for the first time this year. gonna be a learning curve but thx for the videos

Great video and great commentary!!!
Thank you Joseph! I try to keep it light and fully entertaining throughout.
Another banger Aaron, thanks
Thanks buddy

Thanks Randy!
@@AAron_Rides 😎👊
yeah good stuff. cmra is offering wera licences and point right now. maybe i should get one id love to meet you!
Do it man, Roebling is in a couple weeks
hilarious video!! Need some thumb brake into turn one brother!!!! not using it??? cmon bro!!! hit it !!!!
Haha it’s gone now, too much of a distraction I think. Never used it after 3 days of riding. Why keep it?
@@AAron_Rides did you sell it or do you still have it?

Good vids. See you around.
Are you doing some races this year?
@@AAron_Rides CCS? I did Homestead in December. I’ll probably be at CMP in April, and the Blackhawk, Pitt, and maybe Summit Point rounds.
@@daytonasayswhat9333 no CCS for me unfortunately
@@AAron_Rides oh, I thought this was CCS. I didn’t realize it was weird. I just saw that.
WERA, I’ll likely do Barber and Pitt.
Turning in a little early into T1 and missing the apex out of T9. Losing 2-3 seconds right there.
