just take it easy at first. I was in a similar situation last week. My first session out i was a mess, lines were off missing apexes by miles. Fortunatley a coach grabbed me and I followed him around and we talked a bit afterwards and it was a big help. Took a few more sessions to ge tback up to speed( we also had a lot of crashes) but by the end it was def clicking and was fun riding in anger again

Talk about bad timing... the water pump in my tow vehicle went out just this week. Hey, you want a cheerleader if I can make the ride up? Is your bro going?
One day, I will go to a track day... I WILL! |

Aight, made it back alive. It went way better than I could possibly have thought.
Even tho I havent been in a year, and havent been riding hardly at all the last 8 months, it was great. I didnt regress or lose anything, I had better skills than any previous track day, better positioning, better times and a ton more confidence. I dont know why, but it worked out! One of my greatest fears is passing, both on the street and the track, but yesterday for some reason I was spot on and made tons of GREAT passes. The sweeper in 1 at Jennings is VERY conducive to passing on the outside as well as 13 into 14. I LOVED IT. Since I only live 30 mins away, I am going to try and get there about every other month, hit me up if your interested in going and want company! (oh, and for the record, tho I am super excited still, I feel like Ive been beaten with a baseball bat! UGH!) |

Glad to hear you had a great day. A group of 10 or so local riders are heading down there for some days in January.

Here's a pic I got from the track photog. Not bad, but I gotta work on keeping the bike more upright, a few of the shots I can tell I have less contact area than I think I need...had at least 1 good wobble I had to throttle out of due to too much lean. Im crazy, I wont lie, I giggled. Yesterday really made me remember how much I love this stuff.
Still not gung ho on street riding anymore, but well, one day I'll get an ADV bike. ![]() |
