It was a week when I was worried about the weather, but on the day of the performance, the best environment was held in the blue sky from the morning. Round 1 feels like a presentation of what came in the off-season, for better or for worse. .. Is it in a category that I […]

Why did I continue to play Gymkhana for so long? I asked myself. First of all, I love riding motorcycles. .. Not wrong at all. .. That’s why I go touring and run on the circuit. .. I haven’t done it recently, but I also run off. Originally, Gymkhana was for the purpose of acquiring […]

I’m not good at spinning because I’ve been doing Gymkhana for a long time. .. Are you not good at it? I do not like? I think there are many ways to say it, but there is a strong sense of weakness in rotation. For about 3 years since I started Gymkhana, I didn’t even […]

Gymkhana’s life, which has prioritized running with the current model, will finally turn 60 this year. In terms of physical strength and athletic ability, I think that the limit has been exceeded long ago to compete for the top, but By acquiring solid technology, we are still fighting for the top. I would like to […]

Today was a weekday practice session, but for the first time I took down Kushitani’s racing boots K-4539 and used it. It’s not the trendy plastic boots, but the ankle area is thickly protected. The sole is also solid, giving you a sense of security. And the biggest feature of these boots is that the […]

This time, I made SSB for Yamaha YZF-R1 2015-. I think the performance is good, but it looks pretty cool! I’m thinking for myself. I think that it is a balance with the position of the center of gravity even in the fall test, but I think that it will protect it fairly well because […]

I thought I had come to a pretty good place this off-season when I learned a lot about the 2022 Ninja 400. I suddenly flashed in my bed in the middle of the night, and if I had to do it, I opened my computer and changed the direction of engine control at once. It’s […]

This time, I installed SSB on the new MT09 tracer. It will be installed by diverting the SSB for the new MT09 after 2021 as it is. I was able to install it without any processing on the car body side. I think that if you attach SSB, it will protect your machine and body […]

  The weather was nice but it was a very windy and cold day. I thought that most people had little experience with Gymkhana, so the tires are Road Smart 4 I didn’t use tire warmers, I thought I’d run under conditions close to those of the participants, but there were a few faces I […]

This season, when we turn 60, it may be the last battle for the top! With that in mind, I am remaking the engine and all the suspension of the Ninja 400 that I have been riding for a long time. The engine is basically normal, and no external parts are used. I asked Takumi […]

Dunlop is changing, it’s been decades since I felt that way ~ I’ve been watching for a long time with the feeling that I’m lagging behind the performance of tires in the world. It wasn’t limited to sports tires and high-grip tires, it was the same in the touring tire category. However, when I ran […]

Nakai We started setting up the new engine on January 30th, the day after the 6-hour endurance was over. It is important to make a solid base setup for that purpose because it depends on electricity whether to save or kill the beautifully finished engine. Originally I thought that it would be better to put […]

I experienced my first hospitalization in my life early in the new year. This is my first experience of living for 60 years. This hospitalization was suspected of having angina, and if the results were poor after being admitted to the examination, it was said to be an immediate operation. I felt very cautious about […]

December 30 I had to clean up, but I also want to run. I also want dried fish from Ogiso … Looking at the weather forecast, it’s a little warm for 30 days! !! So I decided to go to Izu 1 lap touring. The sunrise is scheduled for about 6:55, but the departure is […]

I will show you how to install the SSB boot slider on my boots. First of all, it is affixed to worn-out boots that have been scraped off the road surface. I stuck it on the reduced part with a shoe doctor. When it was dry, I filled it with a shoe doctor. If you […]

I’ve been riding the ZRX1200 for about a month, and I was toddler at the beginning, but recently I’ve become quite accustomed to the machine and I’m getting better at running. It feels like I’m running by combining the technology I cultivated with the Ninja 400 with the past runs. .. I was able to […]

At SSB factory, we decided to engrave the slider part this time in order to make it even cooler. Although the cost is increasing for the company, we will change from this lot to a slider with engraving because it is a little cool because it is a commitment of SSB factory. https://zrx-drz.at.webry.info/202112/article_4.html

I think one of the big problems for Gymkhana riders is the wear of their boots. Especially for riders who are getting faster, by stepping on the brakes during the full bank, the boots on the right side will be scraped to the extent that the little toes come out. However, if it is a […]

I’m remaking the Ninja 400 for next season, so I can’t ride it at all. I started practicing with the ZRX1200R from the latter half of November. It’s a heavy and non-bending bike, but it’s an easy-to-use and punchy engine. Riding that controls it accurately and moves forward is a good practice of solid technique […]

Information on installing SSB on the new 2021 GSXS1000 is available. It seems that it can be installed with a little processing of the side cowl. Apparently, if you make it so as to avoid the cowl, it seems unlikely that you will get the effect and strength of the bumper, so I would like […]
