  10. i need to make a conscious effort to get with someone who is experienced and can watch me. That way they can point out where i need improvements, and then i can set out to work on improving them. So Brian.. maybe next summer ill catch you at mid o and we can fight each other to the death and then i can have you follow me around the track and give me some pointers.
  11. regarding better equipment (or Farkling the bike) oh i know i do not need the best of the best stuff on my bike. and i have definately gotten past caring if i break shit on the bike. i know my road block is mental, because like i said i know i cannot out ride the bike or tires. seat time is definitely what i need, and i think i need more instructions someone to give me some feedback on what im doing wrong or right. i want to progress like i said, but i want to make sure im forming GOOD habits, and improving. my goal next year is to move into I group and work harder on every aspect. i was told before with smoothness comes speed, and i know this could not be more true. i try to be as smooth as i can, but i know there is more improvement that can be made. i know i can hold my lines, and my pace is good enough to be in I. I guess i just felt like i staying in novice would let me focus more on being smooth and working more on my technique. i guess i was just holding myself back. Brian, i know i dont agree with alot of things you say, or how you approach alot of topics. But truth be told i respect alot of the riding advice you give everyone one here, you have the experience and knowledge, and ill never turn away from advice from someone who has that experience. as for your thoughts on the mini, i do see your point, but i see alot of benefits from it as well as stated before. hell just experiencing racing for the first time was an advantage. i know its nowhere in the same realm of speed, but it shows you the experience at some level. looking for new lines through to pass, having to change your line up at any time. ehh im getting off track.. lets stick to big bike stuff lol
  12. New price... $1800 and ill leave the wheels chocks in it, but no NiceRaxx or Generator
  13. from progression of your riding skills on the track. this question has came into my head quite a bit. is it experience, fear, not taking advice, to little instructions, not comfortable, no trust of the machine, lack of confidence? i know my firs time on the track i was overwhelmed, very uncomfortable, and just didnt trust the grip of the tires, or the capability of the bike, of course i didnt really trust my capability either. coming to the realization that i couldnt outride the bike or tires lol i started to progress, and took any advice i could. i kept in novice, i wanted to learn as much as i could, and not get in any more experienced riders way of enjoying a track day. now i think i have done 5 or so track days now. havent moved out of novice. i feel like i have improved leaps since the first time on the track, and i have learned alot of stuff that i apply to street riding to make me a safer, more predictable rider, as well as a bit faster. but i think i have hit sort of a wall at the track. i know i can go faster, brake later, carry more corner speed, etc. There is just something in me not letting me take that leap of faith. the last track day i did my pace was faster than it was before, but i wanted it to be quicker, i would push myself to pick the pace up.. but then i caught myself scrubbing speed off when i probably didnt need to. i really need to pinpoint what it is thats holding me back. I tink some of it is fear of getting hurt.. if i get hurt bad enough it would impact my life pretty badly. but i dont think thats the whole reason. Since doing the mini racing at CRP, i think it has helped with confidence in the machine part even more. I mean your riding on tiny ass tires, and you dont think there is alot of grip available, but there is way more than you think, and you get a chance to feel the limit without alot of consequences. also riding the minis has helped me with trying to hold as much corner speed as i can.. cause with the little 100 motor, if you loose any momentum you notice it right away as the guy in front of you pulls away on an identical bike. even at the mini races though i know i can improve a lot, but i really want to become a better, smoother, more confident rider so i can enjoy track days even more. i want to pick my pace up, and id love to eventually race Motoseries or WERA, but im not gonna go out there not feeling comfortable and confident. so lay out some sweet sweet advice for me. and anyone else have this feeling?
