Style check

[Pittenger5]

Annalisa got 2 pictures of me in almost the exact same place, one in a race, one at a track day, incredible how much my form and style slip at the track day

I would say your style reminds me of japanese porn where 3 chicks are throwing up on a dude and smashing his nuts with their heels.

I agree.

[Sheppo]

very interesting...

[seth399]

AND will you put your damn numbers on straight next time...

[Pittenger5]

I think its cause the bike is leaned over.

[seth399]

the numbers are not even on the plate...this is a big no no when speaking of style

[Pittenger5]

I think youre looking at the KTM which is not a race bike

I'm gonna rip the 505 off your bike you wiseass son of a B

[Pittenger5]

Yah, well Im gonna rip the 399 of your ... nevermind, you can keep it.

It is interesting... but since it's just a track day you're very far down into your comfort level. If you wanted to run some faster laps at race pace, your form would come right back. For example, you could probably run a 1:35 sitting straight up and down with one hand on the bars... but if you decided to take off your CR shirt and ride at 95% pace, you would likely look like the rmz pic again. Eh?

[seth399]

I agree with that dude, even when i practice i am more relaxed/not aggressive as when I am in a race scenario and someone just screamed by me or is pressuring me.

Agree 100%. Then again I was doing laps 2-3 seconds off my PB on the KTM, who knows how much those little body position changes contribute to that in the grand scheme of things.

Is this a shot supposed to be at the APEX of the bowl ?

[Pittenger5]

I believe post apex working toward 7. I dont move my head until after the apex usually.

[Pittenger5]

Me at apex. What am I doing wrong?



Edit: And I guess I turn my head far earlier than I thought

It looks to me like you get cheap track time. Who cares about form?

I'd be happy riding a Barcalounger through the bowl without over-taxin the credit card.

Form has been my biggest problem racing. Ive spent more time trying to get my body position down than anything else at the races. I still dont have it in a couple places. I mainly posted this to see the difference in two situations and why my form changes. Maybe itll help in other places.

Two different bikes. Two different mentalities (trackday and race). Two different forms.

Try comparing left to right corners.

Already posted my left turns, so heres my right turns
