    Track Days Really Don't Help At All!!! WTF???

    Yea, it is very obvious that the last few days have helped me out tremendously! I can't thank everyone enough!

    The time on the track was great! I did one last year (Thanks Doc for picking my name & Tony for donating the day so he could pick my name!)and this was my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th days.......

    Big thanks to TTD And Boston Moto for the track time......

    Really BIG THANKS to G.M.D. Computrack for getting my suspension set up so I felt comfortable out there.... Cant even explain how much that helped me!

    I gained a lot of speed and better form from all this. I wouldn't pass people in the Red Group and barely shifted the bike.......Now I shif, pass and moved up to yellow/Blue

    Pictures don't lie......
