jason...FRACKING HARDCORE DRAGGING HELMET AND $#!T...
what's up with your chain on the lower right pix? looks like a prego fish!

And you think pucks get expensive!

I figured someone would notice the chain...[:@] I was working on gearing that morning, 114 link chain and a 15-44 don't mix, did three laps on it and hated it, wasn't really as loose as it looked, but still too loose to run safely.

LOL...very compressed suspension and chain still so loose...hahahhahahaha....

Yes, that's what they give you to use at California Superbike School.

blavenia, how did you like Keith Codes school? I am going to sign up for the class in August when he comes to Mid-Ohio. It will be my
first time on a track too, and to be honest, I am more than a little nervous about it.

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted on the board, but wanted to share a few photos froman advanced riding course that I participated in last Saturday.It was great fun, I learned alot and most importantly, I didn't crash. Ha!

nice pix rocket...let's see that knee down soon!

Thanks Tahoe! Workin on that knee... this was my first time on the track. Need to work on my body position and getting off the bike more. I'm signed up for another one on the 24th of June. Can't wait!

you are addicted...yea just from looking at the lean you can see that if your body was out of the bike you'll be able to hit the same corner going much faster with the bike even more stable...and knee dragging!

last week @ Thunderhill...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/cksean/6-17-07Thunderhill002a.jpg

nice pix mang! looking 'hella' DOPE!
too bad it's a COWi...muahahah..
you drag pipe there or no? i think you may have to turn the bracket that holds the rear pipe on the other way so that the pipe/midpipe will sit closer to the frame of the bike.
i had to do the same because otherwise it would drag!

didn't have the problem dragging pipes yet and thanks for the info...
i guess i won't have that problem when i get my RR...;)
btw...I liked Pacific Track Time way more than ti2tt...oh! and Thuderhill was super fun...can't wait to do it again...
we'll be doing T-hills again by Keigwin's on Sep. 15&16 if you wanna join...;)

i would love to go there but mang...it's so far...it's like past northern cali mang!

also, we're headed to hawaii in sept...so looks like no trackday for me this year...BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....

hopefully i get my side work consulting going...then i'd have money for tires and track!

yeah...one more for me this and that's it...
time to bust out my g-strings for some extra cash...:D

Here are my awful TD pics.

Since I have never been on an actual track...I rode in the typical street rider position...centered straight up and down over the bike.

(NO ONE TOLD ME TO LEAN,(HANG OFF)...EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO, AND ANYWAY...I STARTED AT THE BACK OF THE FIELD...AND CAUGHT THE FIRST GUY OUT AS THE SESSION ENDED, WHICH MEANS I WAS...)

1. Riding incorrectly technnique wise...

2. Using my years of street savvy to still be quick...quicker than a bunch of beginner's....

3. I have learned my lesson...

The pics show a sequence of events...hence the MSR TD1...MSR TD2....etc.

I rode a track day because it was fun. (Well...it was ok...nothing I couldn't really get from a well searched and decently topped road.)

I posted the pics because it's a response to the thread title.

I am improving my riding technique because everyone has to have a hobby, and hanging off, going fast is fun.

No dude. Get a new comedy writer.

I always thought racers hung off because they were going so fast that their weight was the last thing keeping them from running wide and
off the track.

Which pro racers sometimes have to do.

Track day guys do it for practice in case they ever race or go fast enough to need it.

Been to one track day...and will go again sometime this summer. Might post one pic in my avatar or signature but that's about it.

let's keep them pics going guys!!!

in an attempt to get back on topic heres a pic of me on my SV at Road Atlanta, and yeah I know the fairing his hanging down, fixed that with a zip-tie

Can throw in my VFR ? (haven't put the F4i on the track yet)
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g279/tjm52071/Motorcycle/IMG_0819.jpg

nice pix fellas!
BMG...i can't even understand what you're saying...
track day guys hang off because it's the proper technique not in case they need it or in case they race! hanging off is what you need to do to lower the bike's center of gravity, decrease lean angle and increase speed in the same turn...

mang woody...those fairings stick out far? i know SV's have super duper long sliders and i can barely see yours!
i've never seen a vfr at the track before! this pix with knee down is awesome!

yeah, that part of the bike is so freakin thin compared to the I4sbut with the radiator and fairing stay in the front the fairings still have to be a little wider to fit on the bike. Thats nothing, with the hotbodies fairings (made for a GSX-R) that came on it, the frame slider didn't stick out at all, in fact there was about a 1/4 of an inch left from the inside of the fairing to the tip of the frame slider

Yes, I know, NOW, that it is the proper technique.

(When those pics of me were taken at my first track day, I did not know that, and rode with the street technique I have use for the past 14-15 years.)

What I meant to say, or what I mean to infer...ahh nevermind.

Yes, proper technique...keep up the good work...

you rode with the cruiser technique for that long? ;-)

Hey man...I took a break from bikes from about 1998 to 2006...so throw in the fact that Track Days did not exist when I was riding my ZX and FZR, the internet didn't really exist...so the knowledge was wrapped deep inside pages of volumes of books.

That's my excuse...and I'm sticking to it.

hahah thanks ep...but with wife's bday, anniversary and baby's 1st all coming up within 1 week of one another...NO WAY unless i win the lottery like i plan on doing today or this weekend!

I was on a team with a couple of riders, so, that made the race a bit easier. But, riding 45-60 minute stints near sprint race pace, about 2 seconds off my normal race pace, is tiring and difficult. Especially when the tires are no longer working. Endurance racing is a blast, though. Hopefully, next year my team can do an 8 hour race.

yes! and hopefully next year you don't go dirt tracking it ;-)

With ride smart @ Grand Sport Speedway, in Huston, Tx. My First! WEEEE!!

humble mang....tahoe likes...
looking great and you know it mang!

I'm noticing in several track pics that most dont cover the brake and clutch.... Is my way considered bad practice? I can sometimes get my hand off the clutch lever but I cannot get my fingers off the brake, it doesn't affect me any through turns or any other time, but I've noticed most people dont cover.... or the Moto GP guys. Bad practice? Anybody else do it?

it's not bad practice....it's just preference...it cuts milliseconds off moving the fingers to grab the brakes.

i see other racers grab brakes...haven't pay attention to the clutch though.

i though that i do grab the brake but not clutch, but going into my pix...i don't grab either...maybe i should start.

the way i see it, when i'm so slow that no one is left behind me and the dude in front of me is miles away...there's no need for me to keep on the brakes...

in the twisties then that would be a different story...varments, squids, all type of critters to jump out at you!

you redo the suspension yet? looks like you drag hard parts quite often...and either your fairing or kickstand next!

I'm suprised you can tell from photos alone. To answer your question about the suspension, no I have not added any suspension components. I'm going to rebuild the forks this winter. I've stiffened up the rebound and added a bit of preload to the front. Only adjusted preload in the rear. I have had troubles with scraping the pegs every once in a while, only when my body position gets lazy. What would you do differently?

well according to the pix, you're what...maybe 160-170 with gear? i'm not sure what the speed is or how tight of a turn or anything but it just 'looks' like your suspension is compressing a lot.
this means super duper fast with lots of G's...but also maybe weak suspension.
i'd get the front to match your weight and also throw a penske in the rear or something.

i was scraping midpipe and thought it was just me or something but then the camera dude and also my buddy pointed out that my suspension was compressing tons that's why i was losing clearance...it could be from getting faster...OR FATTER...muahahahhaha...

i got the forks and shock to match my fastass and now it rides totally different. i don't drift wide coming out of turns and no more scraping!

this means super duper fast with lots of G's...

stop using your technical racing jargon with me. haha Thanks for the input, I'll change my forks to match my weight this winter for next race season. Nice guess with the weight too! a smidge over 180 withthe gear. It IS gonna have to wait till next season cuz im a broke ass. Thanks for the advice tahoe

just remember...if you get it dialed in like i did...and then gain 15 lbs like i did cause of marriage and sympathy weight...you're screwed!

suspension work is also bling...

Awesome pics mynavi and Tori!!

mynavi, I can't really give advice..I'm still a newbie myself, but check out Tori's body position.
Like TahoeSC told me, "hang off like a monkey"...it works, devirged my pucks.
Good luck!!!

Mynavi,

Not bad for your first time.

1st, It looks like you need to look a lot more threw the corner.

Pickup a copy of Lee Parks, Total Control. It will help you with your body positioning.

My first track day of the year won't be until May 10. The price I pay for being in the midwest.

Tori,

That is a nice shot! Is it from the track time photog?

Yes, bought the CD the photog was selling after the event. Here's another shot.
