Keeping the cornering speed high, typically, is key to riding a single fast. Barber has lots of corners. Twins might have an edge.

I did a two day school at Barber, Mr. Schwantz showed me around that place. Great experience. All around good guy, his folks too.

Thanx for reminding me about Barber track school and days xbackerdowner : )
At this point in my life about the most desirable thing I feel 24/7 is powering all the way into and out of turns, within a bikes limits of course, which is always the trick on twisty places like Barbers. I was pleased to hear nothing tops 150 mph in the opens at Barbers, which means its mostly all about the turning there. Kenny grounds his rides there routinely so what more can he do against them 125's and big singles? Some day I want to find out on Ms Peel. Until then just got to stick to THE Gravel commutes.

Btw the most pleasing yet flabbergasting little contest I saw last year was 125 whizzing around and out of the place everyone tries to enter just off the edge of the tarmac to dive into a RH 180 sweeper that lets out in a S shape before the long stretch, when floppy eared bouncing bobbing Indian twin comes around right on 125's tail and the 125 tries to cut him off by out tipping and turning under WOT, but the ole Indian ducked in sharper and farther over to hook up more power to get a bike length a ahead then each could not change position one iota the whole way down the straight, perfectly matched power to drag so that Indian flat out handled the 125. I'd never of believed it and made me think real deep about what I'd seen and saw those flexy old hard tail Indians doing, EGADS often with only one hand on the bars while the other shifts!! Seems something to do with relieving tire direction conflicts, don't know yet of course, but I sense it in my joints. Will alert Wes to start packing.
