Here are a few pictures from my first race weekend at Brands Indy. Good variety of conditions. Sorry if its a little image heavy.

Looks mighty impressive, but you're nearly out of ground clearance and in danger of running off the edge of the tyre here. If you hung off the bike more you'd keep the bike more upright and get a larger contact patch between tyre and tarmac too, enabling a higher corner speed and the ability to get the power down hard far earlier on the exit.

Good photos, how did it go?

Yeah, I did my novice day back in February and my instructor said about me leaning off more. Ive always had a problem leaning off bikes, don't know why to be honest. I will improve over the year though.
Yeah tranx was racing too. He did pretty well. Beat me in the dry races but I beat him in the wet ones.... hope it rains all year! I actually enjoyed the wet.
The racing bug has seriously bitten me and I just can't wait till Snetterton now!
