It's gonna be hot 'n sticky... forecast high of 25 tomorrow :

I'd be very grateful if some experienced riders would throw some riding tips my way. Look for the black NC30 with white wheels and the cordura coated eejit on top doing his best to find the worst line.

Just have fun.



Oh yeah, and hover above the seat with the balls of your feet on the pegs, move your arse and upper body (kiss the mirrors, etc) over as far as possible for the corners to give yourself more speed with less lean, look through the corners to your exit point, and when in doubt, take a tighter line.

Also, there's always more lean angle available.

Except when you've run out.

Question....what if I bring both of my bikes?
Can I take my SD-R out in one group and the ZX14 out in another?

Want a go on a GSX1400?

[jrandom]

Follow me, mate, I'm awesome. Bring knobblies.

Phew, Kiwibike are awesome.

Just managed to get confirmation back from Donna that I only have to pay the $500 excess if I throw Betty down the track tomorrow.



Gosh.

I wouldn't insure me on a racetrack. Thank goodness Star are a charitable institution, eh?

unless you've managed time space continuum then there can only be ONE Dmntd in the slow group at any one time.....

[Leong]

I am so jealous....... please send my apologies to the MotoTT crew.

That was the best trackday I've done so far!

I wasn't sure how I'd cope since my back had been sore the last few days, but it didn't bother me on the track.
The new tyres were good (Dunlop GT501's). Got them on thursday because Wild West Honda was having trouble getting me sport demons, so they gave me those instead.
The brakes were working well (used to be mushy), the modifications I've done to the clutch were good too, I didn't get a sore clutch hand. The small adjustment to the forks to lower the front and make the steering more neutral worked well.
I wasn't really sure what I wanted to achieve before going out there, but once I was on the track, I felt like the experience from previous trackdays had improved my riding and I found things that I could work on, different lines to try etc.
I was having as much fun as I did a few trackdays ago when I was getting my knee down heaps and fell off, only this time I felt I was more within my limits and didn't fall off.
Top all that off, the weather could not have been better, sunny but with a cool breeze.
The scenery on the ride home was picturesque and the temperature was perfect. (just my back was aching the whole way home. but that was a small price to pay).

I'll see what the videos I took are like and hopefully post them up somewhere, will link to them in this thread if I do.
