    I've found my Mychron3 data logger very valuable. It removes a lot of the guess work trying to figure out where you are inconsistent and such.

    Change the music you listen to before track time.

    I am not bullshitting about this either. I have met 3 racers so far that have used this - and cut time.

    I did it once for one of my loops - I pushed things a whole lot quicker and harder.

    There was also a rumour that this is why the stig had classical - as it slowed him down a bit through the top gear track which only gives good times for consistency.

    Wow - this is exactly how I like to ride!!! SCARY someone thinks like me

    I know that this won't sound popular, but my advice is to NOT start racing on a Superbike!
    Start racing on a small bike (400, 450, 250 Proddy [best in my book]) and learn to ride the nuts off it.
    Then move to bigger bikes that require more skill, knowledge, experience.

    Like the Oirishman once said, "Well, if you want to get to there, Oi wouldn't be staartin from here".

    Brian Bernard is the man, his own results and the results of his riders will prove this, he's available to coach you and it will be a great investment.
    Brians picking up a bike this weekend for coaching purposes.
