were you expecting the kind of speed you hit or was it really a shock compared to the Si/Teg?

i taped up the speedo, so i'm not sure what speed i was actually hitting, but the speed through a corner seemed to be faster than the SI/Teg and the acceleration i've gotten used to while riding 5k miles on the RR and cracking it open sometimes. Honestly it just felt right to crack it open and go fast. I felt comfortable with the speed, it was just the handling i need to work on. Work on a LOT.

I watched Matt carefully today since i went up there again to spectate and just be there. I'm sure his post is coming soon , but i particularly watched his form because it was what i am trying to achieve. The last picture i posted of myself shows the bike leaned WAY over, but my weight is sitting to the left of the vertical axis of the bike (fighting it through a turn like i'm on a motard or something :roll: ...although that would be cool). I need to learn how to 'lean wit it' (cue horrible rap song) to work with the bike and myself to improve that. That fear of low-siding is what i think is keeping me from dong this and I don't have the confidence yet to lean over so i'm going to have to build it up with practice and...with more track days :twisted: .

next purchase: trailer and wheel chock :twisted:
