    Oh, and welcome to the addiction that is the track.
    Good to know.

      Translated for us English folks...lol

      Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however, extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity.

        Thanks for both of the links! A beautiful facility with a super nice surface, lots of elevation change and an overall challenging layout. Video shows quick laps, very little straight-line and that it is a very technical track. Great fun, thanks for sharing! Enjoy your new obsession...

          Wow, that looks like a blast! My MSF instructor from last weekend would be proud of your huge head turn.

                  well I guess this has turned into being my "track blog".

                  went to the track yesterday with the new tmod suspension. Was great. I got a slow bike but got overtaken by a couple of bikes out of 50 in the advanced group. I wish I could go faster though. I need to work more on my posture. Been griding pegs too much. I could do with a little more preload too I think because some of the curves on the track are also angled outwards so it pushes the suspension extra.

                    haha I almost forgot. I lost one of my contact lenses !!!!! that was almost a showstopper.

                    I go into a corner with the visor open one notch and bam! I see one contact lens fly around in my face. I pull out and think damn that was that. lets head home. so as im about to put on my helmet and head home I see the damn contact lens stuck on the inside of the visor dry as hell. I go to the restroom and put some hot water on it and stick it in the eye ! badabing badabom, I can seeee. moral of the story ? close the damn visor ! lol

                      I didn't realize this was an update from your last trip, I was going to tell you to spend some time working on body position but it seems like you already know that

                          Been wanting to do this also.

                          You need to start making some track videos.

                            Definitely looks like you're having fun!!!!! Lose the peg feelers though. Eventually one will dig into the track!!! Find your "Inner Monkey" and you'll go faster!!!

                                Your peg should fold well before you hit your pipe
