DAVEP if you go on that super newbie track day give me a shout before hand I recon that would suit me, removing the intimidation of a proper track day.

I think this is what its all about. I noticed it all started a few years ago but mainly when he was defending into a corner hard on the brakes.

I know that when I'm racing, if the guy in front shows any unusual signs of being out of control or that he might not make the corner, instinct tells you to give a little room or as a minimum dont make the pass that you were about to do. As a distraction to a rider behind you in a race I can see that it would be a good bluff.

yeah, forget all about Valentino Rossi's technique and stick to the basics. Ride your bike and enjoy, dont go too fast unless you know what you are doing, sit back and watch your confidence grow.

one of the main things is me building up slowly after my last off , it seriously dented the confidance, to the point of me being put off doing another rideout, its weird i didnt enjoy the last one cos all that was going through my head was your gonna crash your gonna crash and i wasnt even giving it any just bimbleing at the back, so my plan is to take my second sv to the track and think in my head it dont matter if ya crash thats what your here for, if ya know what i mean
