That would be cool to have some experienced riders out there to get tips from.

Really??? have you had it looked at? that is probably something it shouldn't do.Originally Posted by Vellos
And I'm with the others, first gear is not your friend on the track...for some reason I remember others trying to help you at the track a few weeks ago, and you didn't take constructive criticism too well..I'm not hating, but its normally best to try to keep an open mind with this sort of thing
and If I show up, you can borrow my spare leathers, even if you just wear the pants...if you go down in jeans you will not be a happy camper
hmm, I have court for a speeding ticket but I'll try to come out afterwards. I'll check with my riding buddy too. Do I bring the the r6 race or the r1 street bike? that is the question.
Wouldn't know what you're referring to. My first day at the track was a while ago: it was with you, Duelist13 (black zx6r), Bueller, red Ducati guy, and the two tiny motorcycles you were hanging out with.
You told me to pace the track and not use brakes, which I did and it helped a lot. Also told me to keep my feet inwards and I tried doing that as well. Nobody else really gave me any advice, they thought I was doing swell for the first day. After I lapped Duelist13 a couple times I worked with him on his lines since he was being inconsistent and almost ran into Bueller.
What time is everyone heading out? I'll bring my gopro for some vids too.

I should be there around noon. I'll be the one with knobby tires.

My R6 race bike used to do that, it was a $1.50 spring, took 20min. to replace. check it out
It also stalled out unexpectedly when I started my bike to warm it up. I was standing next to it as it was parked, put it in neutral, turned it on. Was fiddling with my helmet and all of a sudden it just lurched forward and damn near fell off the kickstand. My bike has the kickstand safety so it won't start up if it's in gear, but somehow it managed to slip out of neutral while I wasn't touching it. Maybe a related issue, but I hate my tranny none-the-less.My R6 race bike used to do that, it was a $1.50 spring, took 20min. to replace. check it out
Thanks Bueller!
Anywho, I'm going to be leaving Boulder at noon and will be track ready around one. Very low chance the guy from class is going to come, so I might be able to get there a bit earlier. Cya guys at the track!

I should be arriving between 1-2pm. I can usually last 2-3 hours before I'm cooked.

Vellos it was a pleasure meeting you and your friends today. Need to plan on doing big track days next year, you're ready for it
Finally made it home, traffic was bad.. as usual I guess. Had fun, thanks for the tips guys. Oh yeah, in my last session (I think all csc already left) I lost traction in my rear tire comming out of a turn, nearly went down. Good to know I won't have to repair plastic for the next 2 weeks again.
Was lots of fun. At the end I was doing lap times less than 1:15 consistently, and my best was 1:11:76!
Here is a video from my first session. I took it with my ipod nanoso I could edit some video and see the quality. Next time I'll strap it on sideways!
