8/29 Trackday Report


I'd be willing to bet a lot of that headshake came from gripping the bars too tight. Even if you think you were relaxed, the next time you're out, think "relax" to yourself mid corner and, as you all but let go of the bars, it's amazing how much smoother the bike will track. 9 especially, I tell myself every lap to relax and use my legs and I'm constantly amazed at how tight the bike will run that corner when I stop fighting it. At the same speed it's the difference of barely getting back for your turn in to 10 (with a bit of shake and a little fight), and tracking so tight you'll hit the inside curb if you don't counter steer up.
