DROWsports Grom Build: Part 2

The Honda Grom is a very capable bike in the canyons.  With the good rider, it can keep up or take out most big bikes.  That being said, full race leather suit is a must for canyon and track days.

My new Alpinestars GP-Pro Suit. Ordering a suit can be difficult if it’s your first time. You can call up Alpinestars or whichever brand you like and they can help you get the right size for you.  You can also order Alpinestars gear from DROWsports if you know your size.

 

 

Having a gear bag can help you keep track of your stuff reduce the chance of your forgetting for losing stuff.

Huntington Beach Honda Isle of Grom Event

 

Initially, I only brought out our Grom to display in our boot but after some peer pressure, I decided to compete in the event. This was my first time really pushing the Grom since I broke my collarbone.
I felt pretty rusty riding and had to get use the bike again, but I was hooked and could wait to take my grom out to a real track.  It’s time to set up my Grom for track duty.

 

G-Craft Shift Support to ensure precise shifting.

 

Before I just start throwing on new parts, I wanted to see how well the bike handles on track the way it sits.  I took the Grom to Willow Springs International Raceway, Kart Track (WSIR-K) for testing.  


After some testing, I felt the bike handle pretty well but it’s hard to compare without another grom on track.  Now I need to prep the bike track duty.
