I know it's easy to be critical, but I thought he was braking too early typically

Lol .... I wouldn't know ... Only just over 1k miles into the biking world

Looked pretty good to me and a damn site faster than a lot on that track ... Gonna have to try a track day next summer ... Maybe I'll have a better opinion then

Probably too early to keep up with you!

But that's me running 90%, draggin knees, and running a pretty good line all while being very very smooth and dealing with traffic. 1:20 at that track is a descent track day pace...so yes, much room for improvement....that's what we all love about it!

EDIT - the brake markers...4-3-2-1....are for cars...bikes can't brake as hard or carry as much corner speed so take that for what it's worth. Also, the bike in front of me is a fully race-prepped and punched out Ducati 916...sick!

I wondered what the bike in front was....wow...you were hanging on to him pretty good!

Sorry DefyInertia, I didn't realise it was a forum user in the clip. And, like I said it's easy to be an armchair critic.

If I'd been there, all you'd have seen of me, would have been me getting smaller in your mirrors

DefyInertia very nice looks like a lot of fun very smooth. I have been looking into a track day and getting instruction through them. It will take me awhile before I am comfortable riding like you. Did you do anything to your FZ6 to get it ready for the track? Are you riding on the stock tires?

Thanks

Scorphonic · 08-19-2007, 08:39 AM

Very very very good indeed...you ride it so well too. What was the guy trying to tell you at the end there?
