Having never been to a track, and not liking the entry ticket at my local™ track :whistle:

Was interesting to see where I could get a bite more oomph out of my riding.
Particularly the leaning, I tend to wedge my asscrack into the edge of the seat and snuggle my knee into the nekkid frame, turns out I need to move my shoulders a bit more without twisting my whole torso.

Personally I can't wait until they come to New Zealand. That'll be $350 a day well spent!

No! SBP, share vids of you and your wife and her cousins, but not of race craft... How else am I supposed to be faster than them? :weep:

good stuff. just watched the first one and he makes alot of sense.

Had a wee snigger as he talked about comfort braking because I do this all the time where I touch my brakes enough to light up my brake lights but not actually brake. dont know where I picked it up from but yeah. will get on to watching the rest of them tomorrow.

Ok, watched all the vids - too much to take in at once - went out for a long ride out west then across to welsford and back down to Norfshore. Started applying some of the things I learned and man what a difference its made already.

First of all, simple turning in late - wonderful, I now have heaps of road at the exit.

Second - the handlebar tug thingy when you put the gas on to streighten the bike exiting the corner - magic.

Third, balls of the tank and sliding you bum in stead of lifting it, much better.

Just applying these, even in the dodge wet roads, boosted my speed and confidence through corners something amazing - my looking at my exit speeds amazed me, and at no time did I feel out of control or on the edge. Ok, I admit I might have fluffed one or two cornings, but its night and day.

So, the result so far = faster and safer, I think everyone should watch the vids and take notes :clap:

EDIT* Oh, and shout out to R1 guy from ATNR who I waved at at the Welsford gas station. Sorry I didn't recognise you till I was going.

I tried some stuff from vids 1 to 3 at BEARS round 2 today- people commented on how well I got out of the corners. Please now delete all reference to the vid with the technique Pedrosa uses:whistle:

Californian superbike school [UK]

Where in the UK is California? :scratch:

It's easy to be distracted by all the videos of scantly clad ladies wrestling though.
