    Since my machine has been setup to my liking, my comfort has increased considerably as well as my lap times decreasing rather consistantly. I'd say I learned from the mistakes and improved the areas I needed to improve in.....or are we speaking on something different??
    No, that's a good point. I was referring too identifying riding technique errors after a crash. I think it's pretty tough for newbs to separate one mistake from another.

    Ahhh. Gotcha.

    I definitely agree because there's at least one crash that I have not figured out to this day.....likely never will either.

    My question is- Someone running those times, what are they usually doing wrong?
    Is the motor on? Are you on the bike?



    Just kidding, of course.

    I have nothing to add. Lots of good advice in this thread.
