Mid day Practice


Chris, Tom Y. and I got together for some learning. I was on Old Red and Chris was on the Clone.
New stuff we learned
1# practice on holding the throttle steady through out the whole section.
2# a bit more speed (1/2 mph) helps in the dip of the turn also on the exit through the cones.
3# fine tune the clutch and if done well you don't change it from the entrance to the exit of the turn.
4# done right you could decrease power (pull in clutch) to stand the bike up through the cones (exit gateway)
5# DON'T sit back on the seat, instead move forward with your shoulders and lean slightly into the turn...yes commit to the inside of the turn with your shoulders.
The range drew blood today (knee) not saying who. Two of the three bikes present went down (so we can all clam to be the lucky one.)
Remember this is a timed event as well as a skill event, so being perfect and slow still makes you a loser.
That is why I tried to increase the speed and see what happened. Speed helped but not wild speed, you have to hit your turning points or your screwed.
getting stronger every day
