Don't sweat it, 9. You'll note that I don't have a picture posted to this thread yet. I don't think many people look like Keith (or John, or Gino, or Michael, or Eric or, or, or the list goes on) on their 2nd track day. If you are having fun and learning you're doing OK.

And you might be able to find an action figure around somewhere (fleabay?)

Re: Race/Trackday Pics........Post them UP!!!
I in no way was trying to make you feel bad 9. If I could find the pictures from my early track days I would love to throw them up. Just the fact that your out there puts you head and shoulders above the majority of "motorcyclists" out there. Keep at it... keep having fun, and in time I think you'll surprise yourself.

I'm not racing like some of these guys, and I'm a slow learner, but if you take the time to practice, you'll improve in time.

I didn't think anyone was being critical! I was just trying to illustrate (comically) the divide between me and people that can lean over :)

Show off. I don't believe that's you; you lent John Linn your gear and bike. :sh:
Re: Race/Trackday Pics........Post them UP!!!
That is a great shot! I cant wait for all the AM folks to make it up to the EX ranks. Right now the AM grids are actually quite a bit bigger.

Based on what Grahame has said, I think you'll get your wish at the end of the year.

Busted!
But seriously, thank you. You're not the first person to mention that comparison. It's a huge compliment. Now all I have to do is get my knee down and grow a (longer) beard.
Oh and get faster. Much, much faster.

I did see Ian's comment on FB, but it was one of my first thoughts when I saw the photo.
Don't get too fast yet, I need some friends to chase around in yellow.

Re: Race/Trackday Pics........Post them UP!!!
I think the key to the whole body position argument is that it's not so much how you look, it's more important to ride in a way that's comfortable and loose. It happens that people the text book good body position is how many people ride loose. YMMV.
