I'm not beating myself up really. I know there's no point in hammering it with little experience and I have a good time every track day. I was nearly on par with another SV (with a tiny girl on it!) and a speed triple (with an old fella on!) so that kept me happy enough. If I do think I'm crap I just think of all the poor people who ride and have never/would not do a track day and think how much they're missing out on. What a hobby though. There's nothing like getting it right and flying round a corner with what feels like inches between you and the track. Those moments make the day for me. My mates are booking up for the 3rd or 10th at Silverstone but I simply can't afford it. Think it's cutting it a bit fine too with the weather. Had too many wet ones already. I'd love to see you or Blue mixing it up with the big boys one day. I should've payed more attention at Brands. I might try and get down to one just to watch cos it's so hectic doing one that I never really get to watch properly. |

Re: Mallory Park 17th August
At the end of the day, there will always be someone who is slower than you and someone who is faster. The main thing is that you enjoy yourself. I wouldn't worry too much about things like getting your knee-down, as weaselz said - it will come naturally as you get quicker and you get quicker by being smooth and practice! Maybe something like California superbike school might be an idea. I know it's expensive (equivalent of ~2 trackdays) but i think you would get a lot out of it.
One thing I have said before - getting your knee-down, because you are going that quickly that it happens naturally looks good. Hanging off ridiculously and creeping round corners to touch plastic doesn't! |
