Worth every penny. Also Nelsons is good too.

Yea sure... let's blame it on that...

Now

Need to carry more speed through t1 then. Nelsons is fast, but knowing there's like zero run off prevents people from going faster. Myself included. This means you need to move your body over to the left as soon as you finish the kink. You should not be moving your body by the time you go to the brakes - that should already be done. We ride triumphs, not r6's- we have a completely different power band. I will say I was going to experiment going into 5th right before the high-speed kink I just never got back to Nelsons to try it. Here's a vid of me following my buddy Nick at a track day this year. I wasnt riding at pace but my gear selection is still the same. 7:17 is a good example of how to signal for pit out without rolling off btw.

Bro you downshifting before the high-speed kink makes me and your valves cringe. Just roll through there. Catch 2 downshifts into 12, catch 1 more in between 12 and 13 which should put you in 3rd gear onto the front straight. Also dont downshift into t1. You are killing so much roll speed by doing that.

That's weird, its like you hit a bump in the track. Didn't seem like you were carrying excessive lean angle, or applying excessive throttle. Your head could come further inside and down but I don't think that's why this happened.

Hows the "big girl" treating you?

I am medium.

To prevent any possible issues with the slicks cracking. Plus gotta remove em anyway to pull the forks and shock. Winner winner!

No pics but ripped the bodywork off the bike. Cleaned it. Changed the oil and swapped water back to anti-freeze for the winter. Might flush the brakes in the next coming days. Need to pull the forks and shocks to get them refreshed. Then pull the wheels and bring them inside. I hate winter.

I mean even on it's best days, that track surface is less than desirable. Post the vid, we'll see if we can get anything from it.

Do you roll a camera while you ride? Could try and dissect it.

Couple shots from the season closer at PIRC.

Wasnt a bagger. Sportster size with tall narrow bars.

Was it a guy on an r1 and a Tachi suit?

Yea he's already making fun of himself on Facebook. He may have been the only one transported. Hard to keep track as Sunday was one of those nice days after a rainy day on Saturday and everyone tried to send it throughout the day which unfortunately brought out a lot of red flags. I didn't coach this weekend, Oct PIRC weekend I usually just ride for myself. I got what I wanted to accomplish accomplished on Sunday.

To think some people take those views for granted. 🤤

I almost want to start a home library but fill it out with shit like this....

Just riding my motorstickle the other weekend.

Unless you have an improperly fitting helmet - vision shouldn't be a real issue riding the mean skreets imo. My RF1200 was fine for me until I started riding aggressively on-track and was cranked over trying to look up-hill looking for my next reference point.

He looks like he's rethinking his life and forcing that down hahahah

Hey man it was nice to meet you. Are you going to be at pitt in oct? I'm not coaching that weekend but will throw a shirt on to help you for a session if youre there. lmk. I'm sorry we didnt get to link up this past weekend. I hope you had fun.

Helmets are a subjective topic. But typically the more race-oriented helmets have more vision (side to side and vertical). First thing to do is to ensure your helmet fits correctly. I ran into that issue when I switched back to one of my RF1200's at the track after getting used to my corsair x's. I would be leaned over in a corner trying to look forward and I would be staring at the brow of my helmet (in the RF1200). Or coming up out of t5 at PIRC (leaned over looking up hill).

I live in cleveland and have a zuma. 👋
