Was just plain awesome, I'm have the biggest smile, I am really tried and want more, more of it!
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hard to put in words how I feel, but you know I had a lot of fun, learnt a load of really useful things about my riding and have to make it better, I'm hooked simple as. I got faster as the day went on, building up my experince and learning when to tip in, roll on the gas, brake ect. I have shredded my tyres they look used lol. You know I wasn't scared at all, I was having too much fun. The only time I though oh crap was when I went into a corner too fast. I dealt with that by leaning the bike over a lot more and rolling on the throttle, it works a treat. Not much scares me really. Good points, I had 2 sessions with an instrucor both of them said I was smooth, which is ace a very important thing for a racer, I finally figured out the racing lines where to tip in lean etc. I was kissing the apxe on bends by the 4th session ![]() ![]() ![]() Points to work on; Getting the racing line totally sorted. Body postion Brake and gear control What next? Well I want to get me a race bike, so I ride it as much possiable and learn race craft. I will being doing probally another 2 track days and a bike safe before May. I will be racing in May as well, so that will add to my experince. Just to add, I never felt out of control of the bike at any time, nor did I come close to a crash. Well I can't wait till my next track day, I may go inters for Silverstone not sure yet, though I'm thinking noivce to work on the above things where I can go a bit slower, I guess I will decide in the next few days. |

I wasn't the fastest person out there by far, but I was working on my skill. you can't even dream of being fast, without how your race/track craft sorted and down. I will make it part of me, that what you need do. I would say go for it, you will be fine, but don't confuse my self belief for arrogance. I have a lot of work to do, but I totally belive the goals I have set for myself in all parts of my life will happen wit hard work. It just depends on how much you want something, there are certian things I will do almost anything to get. |
