LIVE from the track!

hey everyone, woke up and guess what?? It's freakin raining! Good thing I had covered the truck bed for mist! Leathers are dry and boots too! I can't imagine wet boots at the track!

Anyways, I'm outta here and I'll blog through the day if I get cell service!

Re: LIVE from the track!

ok 3 rd try to post something...

Session 3 done! Epic. Tires are sticky, still chicken strips LOL
One person fell in turn 2 in session 1. Bummer. Anyways, technique and lines, looking through the turns, accel out of apex are all getting better! Still gotta trust the bike more though, but that being said: I'm passing lots of people! I feel planted and secure on the qualifiers!

Excellent news!! Ask a control rider to follow you for a session to get some feedback, they will point out things you don't even realize you are doing. Just keep it on two wheels.

We expect pictures as well...

Re: LIVE from the track!

session 4 done. Fastest yet. Way more control at speed

Black flagged: passing on the inside. I came in hot and didn't see another way out. They didn't care and sent me back on the track. Totally cool.

Next session: more apex accel, hang off bike more, better lines

Re: LIVE from the track!

haha, mine's red too!
Anyways, session done! Took names and kicked ass. Two crashes so the session was short (too bad for the riders).
Passed 8 people! One passed me in the straight on a duc 999, but I passed him on the turns.
Seeing track photos shows I can lean and get off the bike WAY more. So next session I'll do that!
Oh and it's weird because there was a clusterfuk of riders this session compared to this morning...like 2x the amount!
Woot this it AWESOME!

And to top it all off I can look forward to cold brew and "sexy time" tonight!!
