Dave Beck on his SV650, practicing trust in his tires. The first three pictures were taken in October, 2005, at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL. (Notice the note taped to the top of his tank in the second image!) The last three pictures were taken Sunday, February 26, 2006, at the Grand Bayou Circuit, Belle Rose, LA, about half way between Baton Rouge & New Orleans. Comparing the two tracks, Dave says, "Barbers ranks #1 in the best track condition category, Grand Bayou Circuit is #1 in the Most Fun Knee Draggin' category." About his ride latest ride at Grand Bayour Circuit, AKA NPR, Dave writes, "Very twisty, as fast as you can go, SAFE and noe LEO's... Aaaa, life is good when your knee slide wears a hole in it." The Suzuki is lighter than his K1200RS, but you can't help but wonder how he would have done on the more powerful bike.
