Change insurance companies.

They have a no bike policy(insurance reasons) There were a few of use that tried to get an Asphalt only Supermoto race done there a few years ago when the ESMRA series lost a couple of tracks.

The experience you have will find you moving to the intermediate group quickly(a quick day of learning is all that's needed for you) you already know how to race and how to ride, you just need some experience with trackday etiquette and road course manners so to speak. I'd say you'd be better...

The 04 Kawi that you're looking at in your original post was actually one of my bikes.

Christ you guys like to complicate things.

That's pretty common, Next time you're out, try riding foot out and pushing the bike down, while keeping yourself more upright, this will give you the ability to keep yourself pulled forward on the tank.

Your first problem is,, you're riding your bike incorrectly. SM bikes DO NOT work if you ride them roadrace style,, sure, you can get around the track, but you'll never get truly fast, the chassis just does not work. on an SM bike, bumps provide traction, if your suspension is set up properly...

This is where the problem starts at trackdays. most just ride around and look at laptimes as a basis for improvement and then wonder why they get to a certain level and go no further. In those 300 laps of TMP, you've never decided to spend an afternoon working on JUST this corner?? Give up...

When I was teaching for racer5 could do it on the 125 and 250cc bikes that racer 5 was using as student bikes for the first couple of years and I know the other instructors could as well(Mike Bevan, Scott Rupert et al) its about doing it properly. these bikes would do a 1:37 if you dropped...

Why not?? Would it not make sense to learn Properly? If you ride the turn properly, even if you're lap times are more slow to begin with, you will ride INTO the line, and will not be required to adjust your line as you progress to a quicker pace. As a beginner, there is ONE way to do it,, as...

no, doing one trackday and posting advice that is incorrect is arrogant. a good portion of what both of you posted is incorrect. turn one is VERY important,,, getting on the gas early is key and, don't take a wide line, it's not correct. 2-3 should be taken as 1 turn by EVERYONE, you get...

Jamie, WHY are you offering cornering advice??

Atkinson is about 170lbs,,, with a schoolbus strapped to him!

if you've never been there,,, Just ride the bike and worry about making changes when something doesn't work.

Again, inaccurate and possibly dangerous information. that tire on the 5.5in rim is NOT correct and should not be done!

Stop hitting on me, I'm still ****** you left me for your little asian princess,,, although,, she does make better sandwiches than I do. I'm gonna go eat cookiedough ice cream now!!!

I'm sad,, No one ever comes and complements me on my riding at trackdays!:( Stormcat,,, If you sat down and and read what was being said to you rather than shooting back with your keyboard or your mouth when important information is offered you'd have avoided all the pissing in this thread...

The issue is people that do a couple of trackdays, believing that they are now an expert and continually freak out when those with FAR more experience offer safety related advice. The video CLEARLY shows several VERY unsafe actions that should have had the rider black flagged and parked.

I've got a michelin Power One front and a bunch of others you can have for free. you'll have to pick them up

This isn't the first time your riding habits and attitude have been mentioned..
