Thank you very much to Shane, Hayley, Francesco, Brian, Tucker, Jensen, Troy, Tom, and the whole Lightfighter crew for bringing their brand new track day demo program to Laguna Seca with Fun Track Dayz this past weekend. This was the first ever track day demo event, but there are more to come, check out the schedule at https://www.lightfighter-racing.com/ride-a-lightfighter/trackdaydemorides It just so happened they were in the garage right next to mine. I was so stoked just get my eyes on these beautiful machines, imagine my delight when I learned I could get my butt in the saddle! This was a great opportunity to be one of the first people outside of the factory riders to test the brand new state of the art Lightfighter V3-RS electric supersport bike, https://www.lightfighter-racing.com/v3-rs I was very impressed just looking at the bikes, the build quality and spec is top notch. These are proper professional race bikes. Norcal racers Jayson Uribe and Brenden Ketelsen have been testing and developing these things and they are dialed in. Based on my experience as a long time rider, racer, and former pro race mechanic, I am very nit-picky about stuff. I will usually find something I don't like about somebody's bike just looking at it, or for sure once I start touching the controls or whatever. Same with riders that have messy sloppy disorganized pit areas, that always looks like chaos and impending disaster to me. Not so here, everything looked and felt just right on the bikes and in the Lightfighter garage. I got signed up and when it was my turn I showed up early for a pre-ride briefing where Brian explained the controls, power modes, etc. I took off out of the pits having already done a few sessions on my Yamaha R9. Power felt comparable with very smooth delivery. The experience of not having to shift gears, no noise and no vibration was super cool. Check these guys out! by @peterhively
