That 150R is awesome! I ended up buying a Z125 Pro for small track messing around but I really would prefer yours. What other bikes do you have?

Thank you! It really is fun. I looked at buying a Grom or Z125 but my buddy in Denver talked me into the CRF150R. The "Super mini" is hilariously fun on the track. 2nd gear wheelies, transitions on a dime with the 12" slicks and accelerates with authority....for a mini. I've had quite a few bikes but currently only have the mini and a 2016 Triumph Speed Triple. The big bikes are still the bees knees for track and getting that "rush" we all chase. But with the minis, everything is happening quickly. Even though it's at slower speeds, it gives you 95% of the trackday goodness for 1/4 the price.

Here's a picture of my speed triple, love the triple motor... but I've been trying really, really hard not to ride a Tuono V4

Man those DC2 integras up there are rad.

Also , All the diesel truck talk. 7.3 is like a 90s honda engine. They just work everytime. . . . as long as its not below 40* and the glow plugs dont work lol. Besides troublesome starting in the cold they are great. Have personally owned a few for towing and had no major complaints. I like a cummins with a manual transmission probably because they sound like a semi truck and towing the racecar with a rig that is also sweet to drive adds to the complete experience. CDL and a Kenworth W900 someday <3 lol

Nice Alfa - how are they to drive? I've lusted after one for a few years, but never had the chance to take one out.

I think the one above is better than the one I had - the one I had was a GTV6 and it was absolute trash, worst car I have ever owned.

Thanks! Slow car fast for sure. Nothing like wringing it all the way out and getting passed by a bus. Joking aside, it's a joy to drive. Makes all the right sounds and is very nimble. I highly suggest it.

Obviously, you are having, and continue to have, a 'positive' Alfa experience...

Switched to sumo after years of roadracing. My childhood passion was all things motorsport, but two wheeled roadracing was my dream. I made it come true somehow in my later 20's. Sumo was a great transition when I realized I just couldn't fund a real campaign roadracing. Sumo was a blast, new techniques, and much, much cheaper to enjoy. I was able get my glory (lol) in 2007. This shot is before in the early 2000s. Good times riding dirt on slicks, backing it in, and sending it through the air!

Fingers crossed! It definitely helps not having to rely on it too often.

Mine kept eating that stupid rubber bushing/coupling that joined the two shafts together; absolutely drove me nuts as it would break at the worst times - I went through several of them then dumped the car.

Nice that yours works, though...

Derek,
Awesome looking FD that also gets used the right way! Any under the hood pictures or info? An FD is hopefully the next purchase if/when I can part ways with my STI.
